The capital is urging parents who have broken family planning policies to register their extra births before Nov 1.
As the nation sees a boom in bachelors, a shortage of Chinese females sparks fears for their future. He Na reports in Beijing.
From the early 1970s, the Chinese government became increasingly aware that the over-rapid growth of population was unfavorable to economic and social development and decided to energetically carry out family planning in both urban and rural areas.
Many members of the public have expressed support for Beijing to take the national lead in easing the three-decade-old family planning policy, by allowing families to have a second child, even as officials could not confirm such a move.
China's one child policy will remain unaltered during the 12th Five Year Plan period (2011-2015), said a Chinese official, refuting rumors of a relaxation in the family planning measure, NFDaily.cn reported Friday.
It has been China's basic national policy to promote family planning, curb population growth and improve the health and education standards of its people.
China has made well-known achievements with regard to population control due to her positive and effective population control policies and family planning management and services.
