Since peaking in 2016, China’s birth rate has been seeing a continuous decline, dropping below 10 million for the first time in 2022, and only 9.02 million births recorded in 2023. Although the decline in 2023 was slightly less steep compared with 2022, the downward trend persists. This is primarily due to the post-pandemic economic recovery falling short of expectations, rising living costs, and increased uncertainty about the future, all of which have dampened the desire to have children.
