Brewing stage of policy change: 1954- 1959: In the process of policy change brewing, the upper-level thoughts are repeated. 3. The birth restriction policy stage: 1960- 1970: the birth restriction policy was implemented, but it was not fully implemented; 197 1- 1979: fully implement the policy of "late, rare and few"; 1980- 1984: the birth policy was tightened and the "one-child" policy was fully implemented; 1984- 199 1 year: the policy of "one child and a half" is implemented in rural areas, and the policy of "one child and a half" is continued in cities; 199 1-20 14: the stability of the current family planning policy. 4. Gradually liberalize the childbearing stage: 2014-202/year: adjust the population policy and implement the "two children alone" population policy, mainly because China's population is aging seriously; In June, 20021,the three-child policy was fully liberalized.
