“Guangdong province is expected to see a big baby boom after relaxing its birth control policy in late March to allow couples to have a second baby if either parent is an only child. With a population of more than 100 million, Guangdong tops the country’s most populous provinces. About 150,000 households in Guangdong are qualified to have a second child. It is forecast that Guangdong will see the number of babies born increase by 10,000 to 15,000 in 2014. China’s family planning policy was first introduced in the late 1970s to rein in the surging population by limiting most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two children, if the first born was a girl.”
