China: No easing of one-child policy in near future
From The China Daily: China on Thursday said it will expand aid to rural couples with only one child to promote family planning, but will not ease its three-decade-old one-child policy to limit population growth. China limits most couples to one child, but lets some poor couples have a second child if the first is a girl. Rural Chinese families depend on their offspring to support them in old age, and have traditionally valued sons over daughters for their earning power. See alsoJune 9, 2005
