Breitbart: China Loses Population for Third Straight Year
China's population declined for the third consecutive year in 2024, despite a slight increase in births to 9.54 million. Deaths outnumbered births, leading to a net loss as the population fell to 1.408 billion. Experts attribute the decline to structural issues, including a shortage of women and economic pressures.
The legacy of the One Child policy continues to impact demographics, with fewer women of reproductive age projected for the future. Urbanization and rising living costs contribute to delayed family planning, prompting government efforts to encourage higher birth rates through incentives and social pressure.
