The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Friday that China's population shrank by 1.39 million in the past 12 months, bringing its total population to 1.408. It has reached a billion. It shows that deaths are increasing more than births.
In the year Since the 1980s, China's population has been steadily declining. 2022 was the year when deaths exceeded births for the first time. Beijing's long-term efforts to reduce the birth rate failed to improve the situation. China's National Bureau of Statistics acknowledges that the country faces various challenges.
We must know that the negative effects of population decline are increasing, domestic demand is insufficient, some enterprises have problems in production and operation, and the economy is still facing problems and challenges, the bureau said in the report.
Beijing has opted for carrot-and-stick or incentive-and-punishment approaches to increasing birth rates. In addition to making divorce or abortion more difficult, the Chinese government is supporting marriage by subsidizing couples. After the end of the Covid-19 epidemic in 2023, marriage has increased by 12.4 percent per year. For decades, China has implemented a one-child policy to control the country's population growth. A.A. In 2016, this mandatory policy was repealed.
