Professor In China Has Suggestion For Increasing Birth Rate: Let Women Have Two Husbands

An economics  professor at Fudan University in Shanghai has a suggestion for how China, which has tried numerous methods to counterbalance the effects of is long-time one child policy, can finally increase its birth rate, which has persisted in staying low: permit women to have more than one husband.

“They’ve told couples that it’s their patriotic duty to have two babies. They’ve dangled tax breaks and housing subsidies. They’ve offered to make education cheaper and parental leave longer. They’ve tried to make it more difficult to get an abortion or a divorce. None of this has worked,” reports The Washington Post.
