Beijing is planning to relax the delay on couples who themselves are only children between their children. Currently, there is a waiting period of four years between children under the One Child Rule. Beijing plans to follow the lead of eleven other provinces and municipalities in eliminating the gap between first and second children for those who are eligible. The Total Fertility Rate in China is 1.8 but in Beijing it is only 1.0, far below the replacement rate of 2.1.
That would mark a first for China. The authorities appear to be anxious that urban couples are less willing to have a baby while their rural cousins take full advantage of policies allowing them a second if the first is a girl and after that they simply ignore the rules if they can get away with it.
