'三孩'生育政策正式入法

The revised Population and Family Planning Law, which allows Chinese couples to have three children, was passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, on Friday.

十三屆全國人大常委會第三十次會議8月20日表決通過了關(guān)于修改人口與計劃生育法的決定。修改后的人口計生法規(guī)定，一對夫妻可以生育三個子女。

The amended law stipulates that the country will take supportive measures, including those in finances, taxes, insurance, education, housing and employment, to ease the burden on families in terms of childbearing, childcare and education.

國家采取財政、稅收、保險、教育、住房、就業(yè)等支持措施，減輕家庭生育、養(yǎng)育、教育負(fù)擔(dān)。

The top legislature revised the law in order to implement the central leadership's decision to cope with new circumstances in social and economic development, and promote balanced long-term population growth.

此次修改人口與計劃生育法是貫徹落實中央應(yīng)對經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展新形勢、促進(jìn)人口長期均衡發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略部署的重要舉措。

In May, the central leadership announced that all couples will be allowed to have up to three children.

今年5月，中共中央政治局宣布實施三孩生育政策。
