A critical analysis of online public postings in response to the news about the ending of China's one-child policy was conducted. The specific study aims were to 1) identify the dominant public discourse in response to the news about the ending of the one-child policy and the beginning of the new two-child policy, and 2) explore implications for preconception care from the public discourse.
Data sources were 10 top-ranked, online news media sites in China, including one Hong Kong-based media site. Selected online sites announced the news about the ending of the one-child policy on 29 October 2015. Online postings associated with the first news release of each online media site before midnight of 29 October were collected and analyzed. Critical discourse analysis was used for data analysis.
Three main discourse concepts were identified. The online postings referenced the concepts of cost, generation, and timing with regard to the ending of the one-child policy and the beginning of the new two-child policy. Each concept represents an aspect of the public's view of preconception care, particularly interconception care, in China.
These findings suggest that the change in the family planning policy may not result in a huge surge in the population in a short period of time, as some may opt not to have a second child. Nonetheless, there is an urgent need to incorporate interconception care into various health initiatives, as it is a time-sensitive choice for many couples to have a second child.
对中国独生子女政策终结相关新闻的网上公开帖子进行批判性分析。具体研究目的为:1)确定针对独生子女政策终结及新的二孩政策开始的新闻所产生的主流公众话语;2)从公众话语中探讨对孕前保健的启示。
数据来源为中国排名前十的在线新闻媒体网站,包括一家香港媒体网站。选定的在线网站于2015年10月29日发布了独生子女政策终结的新闻。收集并分析了各在线媒体网站在10月29日午夜前首次发布该新闻时的相关网上帖子。采用批判性话语分析进行数据分析。
确定了三个主要话语概念。网上帖子提及了与独生子女政策终结及新的二孩政策开始相关的成本、代际和时机概念。每个概念都代表了中国公众对孕前保健,尤其是生育间隔期保健看法的一个方面。
这些发现表明,计划生育政策的变化可能不会在短时间内导致人口大幅激增,因为一些人可能选择不生育二孩。尽管如此,迫切需要将生育间隔期保健纳入各种健康倡议,因为对许多夫妇来说,生育二孩是一个对时间敏感的选择。
