7 regions urged to unveil data on birth control fines
Print Edition
China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission has urged authorities in seven provincial-level regions to release data on birth control fines after they failed to respond to requests.
Family planning fines, or “social compensation fees,” are paid to local family planning departments by parents who violate China’s one-child policy. Fines can amount to tens of thousands of yuan for each extra child.
Suspecting some departments of misconduct in the management of such funds, a lawyer filed a petition for 31 provincial-level regions on the mainland to reveal the total amount of fines each received last year. Authorities in 19 regions failed to provide data.
Yesterday’s announcement was made after the same lawyer appealed to the commission to reconsider the procedure on how to deal with the 19 regions.
The seven regions under pressure to release information on birth control fines include the provinces of Liaoning, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shandong, Hainan and Gansu as well as Chongqing City.
The commission said another seven provincial-level regions have already responded and cases of the remaining five are still being dealt with.
In September, the National Audit Office released its auditing results on fines collected in 45 counties and cities in nine provincial-level regions from the start of 2009 to May 2012.
