The writer says sustainable population development is not possible without the restoration of pro-fertility culture in the country. Read more at straitstimes.com.

BEIJING - China’s population was 1.41 billion at the end of 2022, down 850,000 from the previous year, with a natural population growth rate of -0.60 per thousand, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

Since the total fertility rate has fallen below the replacement rate, the Chinese authorities have made boosting the fertility rate a top priority. But the fact that couples are reluctant to have a second child — with some deciding not to have any kids at all — due to high child-raising costs has made the authorities’ task all the more difficult.

Shenzhen, too, plans to introduce childcare subsidies in a differentiated and progressive manner, with the cumulative subsidy for the first, second and third child being 7,500 yuan, 11,000 yuan and 19,000 yuan respectively. A precondition is that at least one of the parents has to have a Shenzhen hukou . As for the child, it will receive the subsidy till it reaches the age of three.

Besides, there is no consensus on the necessity and urgency to build a welfare-friendly society where children’s needs, especially education, are well taken care of, so as to safeguard national security. As a result, it will be even more difficult for China to emerge out of the low birth trap.
