China has a birth-rate problem. It's also the 2nd-least affordable country in the world to raise a child, says a Beijing think tank.
China is one of the most unaffordable places in the world to raise a child, ranking higher than the US and Japan, per Yuwa Population Research.
- China is one of the world's most unaffordable places to raise a child, a Beijing think tank says.
- The cost of raising a child compared to GDP per capita is 6.3 times in China, but 4.11 in the US, it said.
- The cost of raising a child is sinking China's already falling birth rate, the researchers said.
Ah yes capitalism where the female partner needs to work and have no time to be a mom. Then politicians worry about dwindling young labor when it's too late. Also banning porn and censoring sexuality... Shaming sex. Fertility is known to be higher when younger but there's no support to allow the young fertile people to thrive so they work until retirement fate, brilliant capitalism
Are you saying that capitalism is the reason why women work in China? That sounds incredibly problematic of you.
China has a falling birth rate.
Russia has a falling birth rate.
China has a surplus of men.
Russia has a surplus of women.
Too bad they hate each other.
"Why aren't the wage slaves breeding?? 🥺 We need more or our standard of living is really going to take a huge hit."
A falling birth rate is not bad for the planet. But it isn't falling globally.
It IS falling globally. It's also been proven in studies that it will not matter to the current environmental crisis, our consumption habits are what matters.
I haven't seen any studies showing the birth rate is actually falling below previously recorded levels globally. I have seen the rate of births have slowed from an annual significant increase in population to an annual lesser increase in population. Still increasing population, but the rate at which we are increasing has slowed.
