New policy wielded as economic tool
New policy wielded as economic tool

- Wang Feng, sociology professor, is quoted in the China Daily February 14, 2014
From the China Daily:
Birth rules change 'will lure more people to our region' China's easing of the one-child
policy alone will not avert the aging population problem in the first region to allow
couples to have a second child, but it will be the lynchpin of a bigger plan to do
so, a senior government economist in Zhoushan says… Wang Feng, a demographer with
both the University of California, Irvine and Fudan University, says Zhoushan's monopoly
on the new child policy has already been lost. "Zhoushan is no longer the only place
to have this policy," Wang says. "Nationwide, other places will catch up, so eventually
I think for most people this would not become a factor in deciding where to live."
