Child Birth Record Rate in China
Wei Peiquan / Xinhua / Globallookpress.com
Births rates rose by 7.9 per cent in 2016 as the country saw the deliveries of more than 17.8 million newborns, Express reports citing China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission, The figure, up by 1.31 million, is believed to have soared to produce the highest birth rates in this century - a record high not seen since the year 2000. It was revealed at least 45 per cent of babies born during 2016 were to families who already had one child. Now the health authority believes that the increase should be attributed to officials putting an end to a controversial policy that only allowed citizens to have one child.
