Abstract:
Recently, the Government of Uttar Pradesh (UP) unveiled a draft bill of the UP Population Policy (2021-2030) on World Population Day to bring down the gross fertility rate and stabilization of the population. The history of the two-child norm in India has shown that different state governments had tried to implement it at different timelines during the past 20 years. Global evidence suggests that Vietnam and Bangladesh have stabilized their population and control birth rate despite not having two-child policies. Moreover, sex-selective abortion, preference for male children, denying the paternity of female children, pre-natal sex determination, and violence against women for giving birth to girl children will be on rise. Female literacy, empowerment, and addressing unmet needs of contraceptives are the time-tested solutions for population control rather than raising a new social problem with a \"two-child policy\" bill/act.
摘要:
最近,北方邦(UP)政府在世界人口日公布了UP人口政策(2021-2030)的法案草案,以降低总生育率和人口稳定。印度二胎规范的历史表明,在过去的20年中,不同的州政府试图在不同的时间内实施二胎规范。全球证据表明,尽管没有二胎政策,但越南和孟加拉国已经稳定了人口并控制了出生率。此外,选择性流产,偏爱男孩,否认女童的亲子关系,产前性别判定,针对妇女生育女童的暴力行为将会上升。女性识字,赋权,解决未满足的避孕药具需求是经过时间考验的人口控制解决方案,而不是通过“二胎政策”法案/法案提出新的社会问题。
