Her national total fertility rate (TFR) was approximately 5·8 in the mid 1950s and remained at this level until the end of the 1960s. Since the early 1970s fertility transition has accelerated. The national TFR declined from 5·7 in 1970 to 3·6 in 1975, and down further to 2·31 in 1980. In other words, China's fertility decreased by more than 50 per cent in only one decade. More recently, China's fertility rose slightly, due mainly to a relaxation of birth control measures and a large marriage boom. Nevertheless, China's fertility remains at a low level.
