Yicheng, Shanxi province, China- the two child policy in action 1979-2015 with a less precipitious drop in the birthrate
11/15/2015
The Economist magazine cites the town of Yicheng in Shanxi province which followed a two-child policy since 1979 with delayed marraiges and longer gaps for the second child, as having a fertility rate of 2.1, only 0.3 points above the national rate. Population is stable with a ferility rate of 2.1 (fertility rate being the number of children a woman has in a lifetime). A two child policy would have resulted in a less precipitious drop in the fertility rate nationwide.

China introduces a nationwide two child policy in October 2015, abandoning a one child policy adopted in 1980
10/29/2015
With a graying population and UN forecasts of about 400 million people above the age of 60 in 2030, experts had warned for years about the dangers of a one child policy leading to fewer young people. The Chinese birthrate 1.4 children per woman is lower than in the U.S. Experts say it will take a generation for the current trends to change and couples to opt for more children.

Asia Struggles for a Solution to Its ‘Missing Women’ Problem
Wall Street Journal 11/27/2015
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
