　　China introduced its family planning policy in the late 1970s to rein in population growth by limiting most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two, allowing the birth of a second child if the first child was a girl.

　　为了遏制人口增长，中国在20世纪70年代末出台计划生育政策，政策规定在一般情况下，城市夫妇只能生育一个孩子，大部分农村夫妇只能生育两个孩子，第一胎是女孩的夫妇可以生育两个孩子。

　　A major policy change at the end of 2013 allows couples nationwide to have a second child if either parent is an only child.

　　2013年底这一政策发生重大改变，允许一方是独生子女的夫妇生育第二个孩子。

　　Beijing, with permanent population in excess of 20 million, estimated that the new policy would increase this number by more than 270,000, with around 54,200 additional births annually until 2019, when the figure will peak and begin to go down steadily.
