Axios: “China’s government announced Monday it is relaxing strict family planning restrictions and allowing couples to have three children each. The ruling Chinese Communist Party lifted the two-children-per-parents limit in order to counter an aging population and falling birth rate that has raised concerns about the country’s economic future. The government imposed a repressive one-child policy to slow population growth in 1979. It eased the limit on couples to two children in 2016, but Census figures released earlier this month showed the country had recorded its slowest population growth for over half a century.”
