China's two child policy is implemented on Friday by eastern province Zhejiang.

The major for change policy in the most populated country, would benefit the new consumption pattern. It was several scholars who urged the local government to change the policy because they believe it won't help the economy in the future.

The new policy where couples will be allowed to have two children if one of the parents is an only child is one major change in the country's way of life to ease the financial burden on its aging population and to raise fertility rates.

People in China would likely to have one-fourth of the population be old and mostly 65 years old by the year 2030. In addition, working population will decrease by 2023 for over 28 million.

One Child policy was implemented 30 years ago and had been force by the local government. Under the policy, a couple is restricted to a single child.

China have only 2 million births every a country where abortion is legal caused gender imbalance became is formed.

Scholars calculated that after 2 decades, the overly populated country might face labour shortage.

National Health and Family Planning  Commission reported that the first province to implement the two child policy is Zhejiang, a rich eastern province.

Beijiing and Guangxi are expected to implement the two child police as early as March.

But easing the one child does not mean family planning will also come into an end. Being in the first list of most populated countries in Asia, China would have to further discuss the new policy thoroughly to its citizens.

Jiang Fan, an NPC deputy explained,"China still has a large population. This has not changed. Many of our economic and social problems are rooted in this reality," he said.

 "We cannot risk the population growing out of control."

Chi Wachun of National People's Congress said , "Easing the one-child policy does not mean an end to family planning."
