eager. so nice to see. welcome to the string, vic, to introduce yourself to our global audience. tell them who you are watching. hi, my name is speak to theo, i'm a political scientists currently working as a visiting scholar at the university of cambridge center for research in social sciences and humanities. nice to have our guy introduce yourself to the team audience phase. hi, i'm dr. here you are seen, electron international development. i work at kings college, london, u. k. and welcome back to the streaming e. get the law from ego as we were talking about a change to child policy. and that was added an extra kid. so lovely to have you backing. remind our audience who you are and what you do. hi, friends, over the world. i'm good though. i'm right now. a lot of people are up to the ology and global gender study at the university. new york buffalo and i work on

gender care work and social reproduction. china, i guess i'm really curious about your reaction. when you heard about this new child policy, ega use dot, right? time, really fast. last time i would interview the interview with about the fact to help us the 5 years ago. and i vaguely recall. i meant 2 point. one is not going to work that the policy of one child should not be in the 1st place in this kind of population engineering. it's really not the way to go if you really like people to make the vision and that will actually work better. you really want the population aging problem and i right, yeah, you're right, congratulations. are being right. thank you for coming back and reminding us about that. yeah, we should do this. this is a we bu, po, it didn't stay online for very long because the answers went very,

appreciate it. are you ready for the 3 child policy people? we were all set can't wait 1233 response. it's on the agenda and less hesitating. many problems await consideration. okay. not quite ready for the big family yet. completely out of the question. 24000 votes shopped on not shockey . note at all. i think it was to reach our policy. has if it's a top or a way to means the web to have a different comic effect. which being chinese citizens are making lightly, not taking the birth control policy seriously. animal. if we say to child policy, i mean credibility over kind of bream is not tell jack paul. so big family 3 child policy is a joke. i'm going to show you this chart as victor for our audience as well. so we're looking vis. the orange columns here for the year is $950.00 to 2020. this is

how the population in china has grown and is growing. and then the red line here, the birth rate between the sixties and seventies, it went up and then lower and lower and lower and lower victor. that's the, that's the, that's the dry bit. what does that mean in reality? in china? what could you see right now where you can see how the population is declining or the birthright in particular is declining? well, i can, i can see that china is going through and expect the experience that is kind of common in east asia. it compares a china will have a relatively similar experience in it's demographics of visa, visa, south korea, and japan. so today in china, i, if i'm not wrong the, that the average of both pretty is about $1.00. but in south

korea, it's 1 point one. oh, $1.00 and in japan is around $1.00. so as the countries modernize us and the cost of living increases, you will see that the natural that in the, for the, for the people in the, in the country to have small and small families because of the cost of living. while the stresses of more modern live, etc. so this is something that we should expect and it's not something that is very surprising. really. one thing and i'll, yes. got it. yeah. yeah. i did. one more point. her point is that is exactly the number one driving factor her to lower it down the population growth is actually modernization industrialization. people have better life quality and the side will have your children in china. one more historical factor is that during the

late seventy's, the 80, if they meet, calculated how fast the population would grow. and so they implemented the historically most restrict the restrictive power policy, which is one child which is necessary because you're right, actually i industrialization took place. they should, people would actually have reviewed the number of children that they are. do you, regardless of what they help them to do? but now because the important thing on people's mind, people will be even lack core property and the more resist them because they're in that call and find out with the what the they have to tell them. well, let me show you this. it's an ad from china's one child policy era. it's always the opposite of where we are right now. if you have one child, you are prosperous to children. well,

that's pretty stressful. 3 children terrify look at that, that, that, that can even look the same kids and the mom that was the, to say have one child. one child is going to be better for you. you're going to be rich, you're, you're going to do well. and now what do you see argument for saying you should have 3 children. how can you go from prosperous to terrifying and tell china's families and people who may be having kids that the terrifying is now a good idea. i completely agree with a good point. i think the chinese government, we've calculated its audience. so now let's talk about who the families are. so the family, the particular women, man, the what children are the one child policy. so different from the modernization perspective, this one child generation children to watch how generation have more education than before, particularly for women or me,

particularly for women. they had really high more education than previous generation. the previous women, you know, this kind of a really important to effect a need to be considered when, when they had more education, they're more likely to be to take part in professional jobs. so it's a complete different kind of it expect patients. and also we need to ask one chinese family, want to have more children in the past, and was the communist party miss play to the called a big family. so in the traditional is picking chinese family, one big family for particularly for boys, for old age or security before old age care. and having a boys have much higher rates of returns. but when we kind of it kind of flip the, the norm having more children actually become economically liability for individual families. cannot guarantee economic return. the cost of education,

cost of child care. it's so high. and you know, more than families and your families do not rely on, but they are children to provide. * old age. so this kind of will go to cultural leg between, you know, the big family, nostalgic, big family, you know, and contemporary. you know, i'm zaya t among younger family. you know, urban families. it is the kind of big leg between norms and reality. i want to bring in another saw get and this is from jason chad. i wondering what happens if you've had decades and decades of being told one child or, or maybe even 2 children is the limit as in your head, that is what you were told. so jason, a was a 2nd child at a time when you weren't allowed to have a 2nd child without paying a penalty. and her mom hits her. she was a secret child, have

a listen to her experience and then i'd love to come off the back of jason story because there's that county child in my family. my mom was super hard to find when she was threatening me. she gave me so many times when the inspector came. she has hide in the mountain forest. if on the roof her inside too would desperately influence the baby. so i am the person who is easy and just under the one child policy and the people were seeing that one child is normal, but the other children there kind of that it has also influenced me. so the 3rd child policy has a lot of criticism. yeah, i think both what the chip me and yeah,

talking about is quite true. and i think what really happened in the eighty's are 3 different thing number. why is that the iraq, the cost of the harsh policy? i what you just heard about a rule, and the women suffer from both, either losing their baby and going under the 4th, the 3rd rate of abortion. and we're having a 2nd child with social. how much, what happened is in the one or 2 implemented to sell this idea to the population. the fate started campaign for everybody that your children not only means that it's a right thing to do, but actually a better way to go be company. you want to invite to all your report that your single child i myself a product of that i don't all the and all the privileges as an urban single child and which is a high but i kind of a lot lacking now which it every family believes that

strategic and the way to invest intensively in your children by sending them to expose the actual chemical activity. expand the piano violence, you know, our classes that really relates to the call, a racing, a single one that make affording 3 capital. and the thing i want to measure in the new or that kind of conflict, when the women also have the ideas deal in their minds about being the only women, my family is a great thing. i carried both them about the way under grow from my family and they empowered to the point that now women do now long getting married or have a baby so that they can focus on their career, which i think is the only time the concert one. but in a good way to go ahead. well i, i think the gender imbalance in china now doesn't really quite help things if i'm

not wrong that a lot more men than they are women. so the more i believe it. yeah. so this is going forward. ready i think this is one of the, the biggest challenges that they face. but having said that, when the government announced the policy, i thought it was timely. it's timely because, i mean, i'm a political scientist though i look closely with states do. and to be honest, this what the chinese are doing now, chinese government doesn't really matter what into it it's, it's probably covered in negatively in the west and press doesn't matter whether this is demographic policy or economic policy. but the very faculty matter is that in east asia, i think all, all the governments and in singapore as well, the governments more intervention east and the in, in the west. so at this point in time, i think, you know, most people say, well, it's a little too late to little too late, but i think it's better late than never because the project,

the negative consequences associated with this aging population is actually potentially very serious. what was happening? well, i don't know, it really depends on how these thing plays out, but at the rate things are going, it's looking likely that the chinese people will be producing enough for them so. so if we want to look at what happened, we just have to look at what's happening in south korea. cutting out. are you talking about human resources like you have to have in order to have workers? is that what you're saying in china will not have workers in what city is time? 40 years time? well, i think they will face a big problem in terms of getting enough workforce, but they will also, but it remembers the workers also consumers and consumers and consumers also the income tax payers. so if going forward, we, if you have a big aging population and if a china, by its own definition is a socialist country. so you will have problems in terms of collecting enough text

to fund the place. and that can make because after waiting to happen, i have some youtube question and you get, i'm going to get you to for an instant. and i'm a long not so but an instant one. so this is how with square squid, hobo nice handle. more workplace discrimination. for women will naturally follow sadly. yay, agree, disagree, thoughts? so we can repeat the question. yes. youtube is expecting that there will be more workplace discrimination for women. it's a yes or no question. so the thought for the creature policy mind to introduce is course reach our policy and related policy measures. and one of the, the key measure used to address the workplace based discrimination. so we can expect certain changes my answer would be,

i'm sorry i have to of maybe these are great. oh this would be family. yes. more discrimination because i don't the in anytime those measure corresponding measure it will be implemented. because because trying to hadn't really address a ongoing, sexual harassment in the workplace and the labor market, the combination based on gender yet. so i cannot imagine anytime soon and i will be, or greg and you look at korea and adjust, hence women their faith. the problem in their life core, their, you curb, they joined the labor market before marriage and, you know, having children find power plant, you're being a homemaker and then return to the workplace. and is that what's gonna happen next to china? i think that's the balance of gender discrimination. i will never bring in a yakking why, yankee, why is a china research for human rights watch? have a listen to her quaint and then we'll discuss it in the chinese government. really

was chinese people to have more children, have to commit to spend the money. so parenting because 1st of all and affordable that only include freak, how to care and education, easy access to housing to health care. also the government need to enforce and gender discrimination laws in the workplace. so women in china can have children at the same time, have a fulfilling career. everyone thought i completely. i agree with. yeah, i completely was interviewed 82 women born in the 98 is the 1st generation of one child policy. and they share with me a lot of stories about workplace based and spanish practices from pregnancy q, which means you have to have permission for mailing ploy to get pregnant. and then

to present the child wearing related discrimination is called a diminished capability. the capacity is called baby brain. you know, the employers use pregnancy and child where re to take responsibility from women and the to start line the promotions. so women fail this kind of mother who penalties not just the financial terms, and also translated into opportunity cost. which is where you, obviously this conversation that we keep talking about women, but it's not. we mean by themselves who are making piece of paper. it's one of over, they're not doing it by themselves. i want to, one of the challenges might be if it the 3 child policy and the to child policy and the child policy. it's about whether you are a family and if you are married, walk, if that restriction was lifted, do you think people will be more enthusiastic?

while i was making a job with one of my friends, i said, i told my friends that if they were married from the, from the, from the legislation, there is a chance that this might, will actually work better. i'm not saying. and it's kind of what i mean, that's what i'm saying, demographically. then i, i think well then again, you know, i might be accused of chauvinism and whatnot. so it's not a direction that it's not something that uncomfortable discuss the public. but having said that, i think what the, the lady in the creep just now said it's actually true. and i've been thinking along the lines of what she was being was, she's been saying, one of the things that i think the trying to try nice government could actually do is actually to put in a more robust legal framework to protect the rights of women. i work in the united kingdom, full book, 10 years in london. and one of the things i notice is that my, my female colleagues of the, you know, they go on maternity leave for quite, quite

a period. it's not a short period. i was, i think it was the wrong fall for 6 months, something like that. and i was really surprised because back home we, we don't actually a caught this kind of privilege to the, to the, to the ladies who go maternity leave. i think it's just one or 2 months. so i was very, very impressed. the 2nd thing that the chinese government could actually consider is perhaps a tech or the, the fundamental issue to do with this. and that is the cost of leaving. if the, the, the demographic policy could be in some way, are linked to the cost of living adjustments. i think it will be more successful if the chinese government could actually link it to see the housing policy. so if you have more than trees. sure. and perhaps you can actually have some sort of subsidy the with your mortgage or with the kind of housing that he's being available made available to you. i think this might actually see some that the

government may actually see some success if this is actually linked. one more, i don't think, i don't think i would agree with your point. so i think this is exactly the wrong direction for beauty or inclusive and a general gender. you get barian society chinese at the cross road to become a where it to be a carrying country is that they're just pushing people working harder. and this is gotten opportunity to invest in a child care, old age, a care to, to invest in care infrastructure. rather than, you know, we purpose of the old one child policy set up, which means pay and the punishment, you know, you find in fact, to, to you, you, people have more babies and the punish those who don't. i think you live in the way we don't agree or disagree. you do change

public good. rather. that right. i do use the money to incentivize individual family to have more children. i think that's a really wrong direction. oh, we do not actually disagree. i think we are talking about the carrots and i, i agree totally with you that the chinese government should make things more inclusive for everybody. and i think that's my point. if you l u, v, the economic suffering associated with more having more children, people will have to have less consideration to have a bigger family. that's why i'm saying i, you know, i have my friends around me the or complain about how expensive it is. and most of the time they will, they only if they can make enough. they would like to have 2 or 3. and ultimately the conversation revolves around how much money you make and whether they can afford to give the true or. and so if they can afford to send the 1st kid say to ok,

so they want to be able to send the 2nd kid to cambridge, right? you know, if i want them to, i don't want to write it wrong. why do we need to center? don't talk for why can't we just say, well, you know, appreciate their own problem. you have children, you have children, you have to have a 20 year old, and you don't, you don't want your child to go to the most amazing universe. the allegedly in the world is that you know what i want it to be to be a chef. that's my practical. all right, so our practices, ega, i think, was 56 years ago. you, on the stream, this is, this is, this is a one sentence answer from you. you on the stream and we asked you will the to child policy what you know, it's not going to what will the 3 child policy work? no, no. because i think before the government that federal invents the parent infrastructure,

especially with those no market solutions like a public spending. cuz i, i all agree with. yeah, that i think market solution i getting individual families more money like the fact that the government care infrastructure and general martinez, the other part actually parental leave now. maternity a light of the northern countries like we walk. they asked the both the father and mother to take the advantage the father don't use the opportunity. it will you fire? that's a really great way. thank way of promoting that are parity. yes, thank you. yeah, thank you victor. thank you so much for talking about china's new 3 child policy. appreciate you. thank. if you choose comments and questions, i will see you next time. take everybody. ah

. use me. i don't to host world leaders at a u. k. coastal town for the 2021 g 7, summit corona virus, vaccines and carbon emissions will be high on the agenda. but with roster in china out of the loop, how much progress can be made in tackling the global issues of our time. the g 7 summit on al jazeera, something was going to change as anything really changed. this is systemic violin that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the variance. know what to say. we are all say we're looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is going to be in the details. the bottom line one, i'll just era abuse and then accused by the government of failing to safeguard

their families. and they take full blinds, investigate institution, life victim blaming that is leading to survivors of domestic abuse being separated from their children. how many of those removal do you think were absolutely necessary? probably like 510 percent of the cases that most the abuser needs to be held accountable. not the mother failure to protect on a job as a new daddy take advantage of the relatively clean air after weeks of toxic small salt people from venturing outside institutions including harbor a pollution is leading to more severe cases of the corona virus and more depth from it and no way in india situation worse than daddy, the number of cases auto record. and when in a desperate situation, the indian government set up a new commission to monitor the forces of an solution across 5 north indian state health experts and environmentalist had been wanting for months. so the evening of

the locked down would lead to an increase in solution and the impact that would have on those the causes 19 o be the hero world needs right. ah, washer in, ah, this is al jazeera. ah, either i'm kim vanelle. this is the new law from coming up in the next 60 minutes. the g 7 to summit opens with host british prime minister barak johnson, declaring they have a huge opportunity to lead the global pandemic recovery escaping report claims.
