No Disciplinary Action Against Communist Party Members for Unexpected Third Child

The content in Article 27 of Guideline 04-HD/UBKTTW clearly states:

Therefore, if a Communist Party member is a mother of a third child born unintentionally, and if it is confirmed by a district-level hospital or higher that the use of family planning methods will seriously affect her health, she will not be subject to review or disciplinary action.

In addition to the aforementioned supplementary provision, the previous regulations regarding Communist Party members having a third child and not being subject to disciplinary action remain unchanged, including:

|

• A couple gives birth to a third child, if both or one of them belong to an ethnic group with a population of less than 10,000 people, or such ethnic group has a population decline risk (birth rate less than or equal to death rate) as officially announced by the Ministry of Planning and Investment;

• The couple has their first delivery but gives birth to triplets or more;

• The couple already has one biological child, and in their second delivery, they give birth to twins or more;

• The couple gives birth to a third child, if at the time of birth, there is only one living biological child, including biological children given up for adoption;

• The couple gives birth to a third child, if they already have two biological children, but one or both are afflicted with non-hereditary deformities or life-threatening diseases, as confirmed by the provincial or central-level Medical Examination Council;

• The couple already has their own (biological) child: gives birth to one or two children if one of them has their own (biological) child; gives birth to one or two children or more in one birth if both have their own (biological) children. This regulation does not apply if the couple has already had two or more common children who are still living.

More details can be found in Guideline 04-HD/UBKTTW effective from March 22, 2018.
