Chinese officials come home to women with questions about future children
In China, against the backdrop of the idea of increasing the birth rate in the country, officials began to come home to women and ask them about plans to have a child.

Many Chinese women believe that the decision to start a child is a very personal issue. According to them, the authorities do not take into account the high costs of raising children, as well as difficulties in combining motherhood and career. “We are not like people born in the 1970s or 1980s. Everyone knows that people born after the 1990s, in general, do not want to have children, ”said 28-year-old Yumi Young.
The Government Association of Planning the Family of the city of Mudanjiang believes that the position of women to decide for themselves when to marry and start children "erroneous and one -sided." In attempts to advance a new culture of birth rate, officials, including personally, began to go home and interview women about their plans to have a child. The bonuses of officials will depend on success in the popularization of large families, but how exactly the effectiveness will be measured is not specified.
