China suffered a third consecutive annual drop in its workforce in 2014, 3.7 million less than the previous year, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in January. China has announced it is looking at plans to relax the one-child policy in view of the rapidly ageing population of c. 200 million, causing concerns about a rapid decline of work force. The government said on Thursday that it would allow couples who have one or two children but no more than three if they are over 40 and want to stay married.
