-decade low, exacerbating a looming demographic crisis that is set to
reshape the world’s most populous nation and threaten its economic vitality.
About 14.6 million babies were born in China in 2019, according to the
National Bureau of Statistics. That was a nearly 4 percent fall from the
previous year, and the lowest official number of births in China since 1961,
the last year of a widespread famine in which millions of people starved to
death. That year, only 11.8 million babies were born.
Births in China have now fallen for three years in a row. They had risen
slightly in 2016, a year after the government ended its one-child policy and
allowed couples to have two children, a shift that officials hoped would
drive a sustained increase in the number of newborns. But that has not
materialized.
Experts say the slowdown is rooted in several trends, including the rise of
women in the work force who are educated and don’t see marriage as
necessary to achieving financial security, at least for themselves. For
Chinese couples, many cannot afford to have children as living costs
increase and their jobs demand more time and energy. And attitudes have
shifted.
“It’s a society where nobody wants to get married and people can’t afford
to have children,” said Wang Feng, a professor of sociology at the
University of California, Irvine. “On a deeper level, you would have to
think about what kind of society China will become, not just demographically
, but socially.”
Eno Zhang, a 37-year-old engineer in a tech company in Beijing, said he had
argued with his parents for 10 years about his decision not to have children
. They have since given up, he said. | W*****B
