A new report says China’s Birth rate could be in even worse trouble as data shows it sank to a record low in 2022 coming in a just 0.9 percent.
That’s a nearly 70-percent drop compared to pre-pandemic stats.
According to experts, China now ranks on near the top of the list for the world’s lowest birth rates.
It’s also estimated to have one of the worst cases of an aging population out of all largely populated countries.
The regime is struggling to back peddle after ending its infamous One Child Policy in 2015.
Now the regime encourages bigger families—urging 3 children per couple—but Chinese internet users say they’re not buying into that idea.
Many social media comments suggested birth rates will continue to fall unless authorities take action on issues like education, healthcare, and housing costs.
Likewise, China’s slowing economy has left young people fighting a high unemployment rate, putting a strain on the possibility of starting families.
