In late 1970s, to control the exploded population, the country announced a long-term one-child policy, which refers to a program to limit every Chinese family unit to one child each (Pletcher, 2015). It played a critical role in slowing down the population growth. Meanwhile, people’s desire for more children has been suppressed for a long time. However, when people all over the country should have applauded for the new baby-boosting policy, more and more young couples prefer not to have a second child. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the birth rate fell from 12.95‰ in 2016 to 12.43‰ in 2017 (You, 2018).
