The Historical Changes and Evolutionary Logic of China's Fertility Policy

Population problem is an important issue of social development and one of the keys to achieve sustainable development. As an important part of population policy, the scientific understanding of fertility policy and the grasp of its historical change and evolution logic are necessary measures to alleviate the aging trend of small children and promote the long-term balanced development of population. From the perspective of historical institutionalism, China's family policy has gone through five historical stages: incubation, exploration and development, establishment and implementation, relaxation and optimization, and encouragement and inclusiveness. From the perspective of structural changes, changes in the national macro environment, changes in social fertility concepts and the promotion of multiple actors have promoted the evolution and development of China's fertility policy. From the perspective of historical change, the historical change of China's fertility policy has the phenomenon of path dependence and the policy turning of key nodes. Looking forward to the future, we should flexibly adjust the fertility policy by paying attention to the change of population structure; We will protect women's rights and interests and create an equal social environment. Improving the fertility service model and providing comprehensive fertility protection will contribute to the healthy and stable development of China's population.
