青衣 青衣 China thinktank urges end of one-child policy 中国官方智库呼吁取消独生子女政策 * Foundation close to central leadership urges end to birth limits policy across China by 2015, with experts saying reform is inevitable * Known to many as the one-child policy, Chinas actual rules are more complicated. The government limits most urban couples to one child, and allows two children for rural families if their first-born is a girl. There are numerous other exceptions as well, including looser rules for minority families and a two-child limit for parents who are themselves both singletons. 许多人都知道，实际上中国的独生子女政策更复杂，政府限制大多城市只要一个孩子，允许头胎是女孩的农村家庭要两个孩子。还有许多其他的例外以及宽松的规则，包括少数民族家庭和夫妻二人均为独生子女的家庭要两个孩子。 * Many demographers argue the policy has worsened the countrys aging crisis by limiting the size of the young labour pool that must support the large baby boom generation as it retires. They say it has contributed to the imbalanced sex ratio by encouraging families to abort baby girls, preferring to try for a male heir. 许多人口学家认为该政策限制了年轻劳动力的数量，加剧了国家的老龄化危机，必须支持庞大的婴儿潮一代退休时。他们说这促使了性别比失衡，因为人们喜欢尝试一个男性继承人，是女孩儿的话可能…………………… * Though open debate about the policy has flourished in state media and online, leaders have so far expressed a desire to maintain the status quo. President Hu said last year that China would keep its strict family planning policy to keep the birth rate low and other officials have said that no changes are expected until at least 2015 虽然关于这个政策有了激烈的辩论，领导人到目前为止表示希望维持现状。胡主席去年表示，中国将保持其严格的计划生育政策，保持低生育水平。其他官员说，预计至少到2015没有变化 * 谢谢！ THANKS! * 青衣 青衣
