The Chinese Year of the Snake is fast approaching. Because it is believed that babies born during this year are wise, talented, and attractive, the government expects a surge in the number of births in the country.
Huang Meihua, a migrant worker who lives in the city of Guangzhou in southern China's Guangdong Province, is one of the people who will benefit from the new policy.
"I am from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and my husband is from Meizhou City in Guangdong Province. We encountered some problems when we tried to get a birth permit in the past two moths, but I heard that the birth registration policy for migrant workers has changed, so I came here to learn more about it."
The new policy means millions of migrant workers like Huang Meihua will be able to get birth permits from their workplaces without traveling to their hometowns to seek government proof of their marital and maternity status.
The move is aimed at saving time and money for couples who do not have a local household registration, or hukou, when they have their first child.
The family planning service permit, known as the birth permit, is a must for residents on the Chinese mainland before giving birth to babies. Without the permit, a new baby will not be allowed to register with the household, which is necessary for an education and many kinds of benefits.
The new policy now allow them to get the permit at where they live instead of where their hukou is.
