From Policy Design to Implementation: Research Methods and Practical Evaluation of Beijing’s Three-Child Policy

Beijing’s three-child policy represents a significant initiative to address challenges related to an aging population and declining fertility rates. This paper analyzes the policy’s background, content, and outcomes, highlighting its role in mitigating demographic shifts, optimizing population structure, and boosting birth rates. The findings reveal that, despite improvements in economic support, childcare services, and social security provisions, challenges persist, including slow shifts in societal attitudes, high childcare costs, inadequate childcare resources, and significant adaptation pressures on enterprises. Based on these issues, this paper proposes recommendations such as enhancing financial support, improving childcare systems, strengthening public awareness campaigns, and optimizing enterprise assistance, providing a practical basis for policy optimization.
