A government policy in China allowing couples to have up to three children, introduced to combat population decline and aging demographics.
三孩政策旨在提高出生率，缓解劳动力短缺问题。
The three-child policy aims to increase the birth rate and alleviate labor shortages.
This policy was announced in 2021 as an update to the previous two-child policy.
Understand that '三孩' refers to a specific government policy, not just the literal meaning of three children.
Use '三孩' only when discussing China's demographic policies, not in general family planning contexts.
Derived from the Chinese characters 三 (three) and 孩 (child), referring to the government's policy allowing three children per family.
This term is specific to China's demographic policies and is not used in other contexts.
