Аннотация	This research examines how the implementation of the three- child policy has unfolded in 4 province- level administrative divisions of the People’s Republic of China: Qinghai, Liaoning, Jiangsu and Guangdong, and analyses the gendered implications embedded in their provincial adaptations. Despite national pro- natalist targets, heterogeneous local adaptations reveal an inconsistent relationship between fertility incentives and women’s empowerment. Qinghai offers maximum maternity and childcare leave but lacks gender equity; Liaoning protects public- sector workers; Jiangsu promotes female entrepreneurship, while childcare support remains comparatively limited; and Guangdong places particular emphasis on housing subsidies for raising children. Although the policy is explicitly pro- natalist, its implementation continues to be constrained by gender- biased parental- leave arrangements and entrenched urban- rural disparities in women’s autonomy. Province- specific population and family planning laws suggest that financial, institutional, and cultural empowerment proposals might perform more effectively than universal rules. The fertility- empowerment paradox is criticised and gender- sensitive measures are suggested to achieve demographic goals and equal labour participation. This research suggests that relevant local authorities strengthen rural mother assistance ( Qinghai) , childcare facilities ( Liaoning/ Jiangsu) , and corporate responsibility ( Guangdong) to reduce gendered trade- offs
