Abstract

Chinese government has enacted a policy called “The Universal Two-child Policy”, also called “Two-child Policy”, to alleviate the situation that the Chinese labor market might be in shortage in the future. The two-child policy is a policy that popularizes the whole country. It relates to every Chinese citizen and also affects society, economy, labor market, and other aspects. Therefore, it is very important to discuss its effectiveness and necessity. Then does the two-child policy have any effect on alleviating the shortage of labor market in the future? Through comparative analysis and research of existing literature, many Chinese scholars hold different opinions. Some scholars believe that the two-child policy can effectively promote the growth of the labor force, while others believe that the growth of the labor market needs to match the growth of GDP. After research and discussion, it is found that the two-child policy has a positive effect on labor market shortage, but also causes some social problems, so the effectiveness of the two-child policy needs some other policies to support.
