The birth rate fell to 6.77 births per 1,000 women - the lowest it has ever been.
China's population has fallen for the first time in 60 years, with the national birth rate hitting a record low - 6.77 births per 1,000 women.China's birth rate has been declining for years, prompting a slew of policies to slow the trend.
Deaths also outnumbered births for the first time last year. China logged its highest death rate since 1976 - 7.37 deaths per 1,000 people, up from 7.18 the previous year.Earlier government data had heralded a demographic crisis, which would in the long run shrink China's labour force and increase the burden on healthcare and other social security costs.
Families that violated the rules were fined and in some cases, even lost jobs. In a culture that historically favours boys over girls, the policy had also led to forced abortions and a reportedly skewed gender ratio from the 1980s.
