China shuts 30,000 schools amid falling birth rates
The article explains that the population decline in China is leading to the closure of over 30,000 kindergartens and elementary schools in 2025, due to a significant decrease in the number of children. Despite Beijing's efforts to halt the decline in birth rates through incentive policies and its abandonment of the one-child policy, the birth rate has fallen to about one child per woman, which is below the Asian average. China is facing a complex demographic crisis characterized by rapid population aging before reaching the levels of prosperity achieved by developed countries. This situation is putting pressure on the labor market and economic growth, with warnings about its potential impact on future economic policies and development.
