Birth rate in China has dropped to a record low

In China, the birth rate fell to a record low in 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to statistical data, only 5.63 babies were born per 1,000 people. At the same time, the death rate also increased, with 8.04 deaths recorded per 1,000 people.

As a result, China's population decreased by 3.39 million, reaching a total of 1.4 billion people. The country's government continues to implement measures aimed at preventing population decline.

In 2016, the "one-child" policy was abolished, initially allowing two children, and later three children. Subsequently, financial support was introduced for each child under the age of three, along with additional bonuses in certain regions.

However, due to the high costs associated with raising children and the need for economic stability, many young families are delaying having children. Experts believe these decisions are mainly related to social and economic conditions.

The population decline may also negatively impact the country's economy. A reduction in the workforce, a decrease in the number of consumers, and increased pressure on the pension system are expected.

For this reason, the government continues its efforts to strengthen population policies and encourage young people to start families.
