Explanation:
Yes,Deferment of marriage and childbearing reduces the number of children born by a couple in their lifetime and is the best way to depress population growth. This decreases the number of births in a given period and drops the fertility rate, which slows down the growth rate and size of the population. The extent of the impact varies with the parity specific age composition of women. Over a 100-year period, when the 1st birth is at 20 years and there are 2 children/family, the family size would be 8. When the 1st birth is at age 25, the family size becomes 6. Currently, China is encountering the peak of the baby boom. Unchecked population growth by these cohorts would mean the emergence of another baby boom. The consequences for the social and economic sectors would be great. With deferment of childbearing, the age composition of the population will be improved. Prior success in the practice of late marriage and late childbearing occurred in 1970s. Marriage age was raised from 22 years to 24 years by the late 1970s, which averted 30 million births within a decade. Unfortunately, the trends during the 1980s were a return to early marriage and childbearing such that by end of the 1980s 10% of married women had given birth by the age of 20. Had late marriage and late childbearing persisted through the 1980s, the mid-1991 population would have been 1.13 billion instead of 1.15 billion. The huge population requires a slower growth rate, but limiting the births/women has been beset with difficulties. All provinces need to target slower growth. Data from the 1988 National Sampling Survey of Fertility and Contraception reveal that 12 provinces had lowered age at 1st marriage. If the childbearing age can be raised by even 6 months reaching 23.5 years, 6 million births will be averted in the next 5 years. A 1-year to 24 years yields 10 million fewer births. It is reasonable to assume that it would be easier to convince young couples to defer their age at 1st births by 6 months to a year than to allow people to give up the quotas for 2nd births.
