Coming up：
The birthrate in China fell last year despite the country easing its family planning policies and allowing all couples to have two children.The National Bureau of Statistics said there were 17.2 million births in the country last year, down from 17.9 million in 2016.China changed its long-standing one-child policy in 2015 in hopes of reversing the trend toward an aging population.
The number of births rose nearly 8 percent in 2016, with nearly half of the babies born to couples who already had a child.However, that increase appears to be one-off, with couple's decisions to not have a second child affected 1 by the trend toward later marriage, the desire for smaller families and concerns about the high cost of raising children.
Despite government hopes, studies have predicted the loosening of the one-child policy would bring only a relatively 2 small increase in population growth.
