China’s government has raised the child limit for couples from two to three as the country experiences lower birth rates. For many years, China enforced a one-child policy as a way to control the population. But that policy was replaced in 2016 with a two-child limit. That change was aimed at raising the number of births as the country faced a fast aging population. But birth rates have further decreased in recent years as the cost of raising children in Chinese cities remains high.

The latest measure to permit three children per family is meant “to actively deal with the aging population,” the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The decision came during a ruling Communist Party meeting led by President Xi Jinping, it said.

The policy includes what the government calls “supportive measures” to make it easier for families to have more children. The measures include plans to lower educational costs for families and increase tax and housing support. The government also said it would seek to educate young people “on marriage and love.”

Recent data showed that China’s fertility rate—the average number of births per mother—was 1.3 in 2020. That rate which is similar to aging nations like Japan and Italy is well short of the 2.1 needed to replace the population.
