Fertility regulations in China's healthcare market push Chinese women to foreign clinics

[bitheerani319]

Due to China’s strict regulations on fertility treatments, more and more women are seeking IVF services outside the country. These laws, which prohibit sex selection, require marriage proof and birth licenses, and ban certain procedures, have created a high demand for IVF in China, especially among single women and couples who want to have more children. However, accessing legal fertility treatments within the country is difficult, leading more and more Chinese women to seek help from clinics abroad.

In this blog post, we explore the implications of these fertility regulations from a social, kazakhstan phone number list and business perspective, and their impact on Chinese women seeking treatment abroad.

Fertility regulations in China
China has strict regulations on IVF and egg freezing, which are banned for single women living in China, and there are also bans on sex selection and requirements for marriage testing and birth licenses.

Historical context of fertility regulation (one-child policy, two-child policy)

The one-child policy was implemented in China between 1979 and 2015 to limit population growth by allowing families to have only one child.

This policy prevented around 400 million births but had long-term effects on family structures and cultural expectations.

To address the declining birth rate and aging population brought on by the One-Child Policy, the Chinese government introduced the Two-Child Policy in 2015, which allows families to have two children.

The policy change allowing couples to have two children instead of one did not lead to a significant increase in birth rates due to factors such as the high cost of living and young people's career priorities.
