　　“I’m shaking to be honest，” said Stuart Gietel-Basten， an University of Oxford demographer who has argued for the end of the one-child policy。 “It’s one of those things that you have been working on and saying for years and recommending they should do something and it finally happened。 It’s just a bit of a shock。”

　　标题：Why China Is Ending Its One Child Policy

　　London School of Economics Professor Hyun Bang Shinsaid the end of the policy was inevitable。 With more and more people expected to move into China’s cities， where the one child policy has been strictly enforced， the burden to provide welfare and public resources by the government increases。

　　伦敦政经的教授Hyun Bang Shin博士认为，计划生育政策的终结是不可避免的。随着越来越多的人期望移居计划生育严格执行的中国城市，政府提供社会福利和公共资源的压力也与日俱增。

　　“China is an aging country with the a long life expectancy。 It is quite clear the younger generation will bear a greater burden in the coming years，” Shin said。

　　“中国已是个高度老龄化的国家。接下来几年里，可见年轻人的压力会越来越大，”Shin说道。
