Liaoning looks to help two-child families

The Standing Committee of the Liaoning Province People's Congress started reviewing the regulation on population and family planning on Monday to ease anxieties over the second-child policy and improve fertility.

The regulation, submitted by the Liaoning Health Commission, suggested that local governments should reduce the burden on families with two children and provide a package of preferential policies in education, social security, housing and tax relief.

Local governments should provide education subsidies for two-child families, including enrollment in kindergartens and primary schools, in line with local conditions.
