China to Allow Married Couples to Have Up to Three Children

The Chinese government is set to allow married couples to have up to three children in a move aimed at averting a demographic crisis.
The decision was arrived at during a meeting of the Chinese Communist Party’s top leadership on Monday, according to state-run news agency Xinhua.
The easing of strict family planning policy is designed to combat the country’s declining birthrate. It is not clear when the new policy would be implemented.
