    Two Children Per Family Now Urged in Shanghai

    Daily Telegraph

    This is a change from the "one child per family" policy.

    "We advocate eligible couples to have two kids because it can help reduce
    the proportion of ageing people and alleviate a workforce shortage in the
    future," said Xie Lingli, the head of Shanghai's Family Planning
    commission, to the China Daily newspaper.


    So this is a combination of "family" and "five year planning"...
