Despite government efforts to encourage childbirth, including framing it as an act of patriotism, China’s population has continued to decline for three consecutive years.
In 2024, the National Bureau of Statistics reported 9.54 million births, a slight increase from 9.02 million in 2023, yet this did not reverse the overall population decrease.
The drop in enrollments in kindergartens, plummeting by over five million in 2023, reflects the broader implications of China's declining birthrate on its economy.
China’s birthrate is falling dramatically, with the country facing a longer-term baby bust impacting sectors like healthcare and education.
