China rewards one-child families
According to the new policy, each of the couples could get at least 600 yuan or $72 every year when they are over 60 years old. The policy provides reassurance to couples in rural areas who worry about their old age, the paper said. In 2004, 4,781 farmers in Chengde benefited from the program, receiving rewards of 2.87 million yuan or $350,000, it said. The new policy appears to be a success, the China Daily said. Encouraged by it, 2,283 rural couples in Chengde voluntarily decided to have only one child and more than 3,400 others delayed their plans to have a second child, the paper said.
