STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
China s ruling Communist Party says married couples in that country may now have three children. This is a change because for decades, the world s most populous country had a one-child policy limiting most urban couples to a single child. It did expand to two kids in recent years, and now three, as China faces a possible demographic calamity. David Rennie is the Beijing bureau chief for The Economist and joins us via Skype. Welcome back to the program, David.
DAVID RENNIE: Hello.
INSKEEP: What is that demographic calamity?
RENNIE: We ve just heard the results of a 10-year census, and it showed what was absolutely very clear, which is that the country has been aging very, very fast. And what s more, the fertility rate has crashed to 1.3 births per woman over the course of her life, which is one of the lowest rates in the country. And you can see that all around you.

China has announced a new three-child policy the latest sign the central government is worried about the country’s demographics. The 2015 repeal and replacement of the one-child policy with a two-child policy did not boost falling fertility rates, the ratio of births to women of childbearing age. This past May, the results of China’s once-a-decade census revealed that China’s fertility rate was 1.3, significantly lower than the replacement level of 2.1. At The New York Times, Sui Lee wrote about
The announcement by the ruling Communist Party represents an acknowledgment that its limits on reproduction, the world’s toughest, have jeopardized the country’s future. The labor pool is shrinking and the population is graying, threatening the industrial strategy that China has used for decades to emerge from poverty to become an economic powerhouse.
