China has announced new efforts to encourage couples to have more children, as the country’s birth rate has dropped to its lowest level in history, with the population predicted to decline by 2025.
According to the Ministry of Health, local governments must implement effective fertility-supporting policies like as subsidies, tax reduction, and improved health insurance, in addition to education, housing, and job aid for families.
With an ageing workforce, a sluggish economy, and population growth at its lowest levels in decades, the world’s most populous country is facing a demographic crisis.
Despite the fact that the Chinese government terminated the one-child policy in 2016 and subsequently permitted each couple to have up to three children last year, the Chinese birth rate has continued to plummet over the previous five years, with the birth rate in China dropping every year.
The countrys birth rate has decreased to 7.52 births per 1,000 people, the lowest level since 1949, when communist China was created.
In early August, health experts warned that China’s population will drop by 2025.
