☆ Xi says China's women must start 'new trend of family'
  + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Doing a good job in women's work is not only related to women's own development, he said but also related to "family harmony, social harmony, national development and national progress". Factors including high childcare costs, career hindrance, gender discrimination and not wanting to get married have deterred many young Chinese women from having children. The number of births is closely tied to marriage rates because official policies make it hard for single women to have children. China's National Bureau of Statistics in January reported the first population drop in six decades and the country's population is rapidly ageing. The state media has often linked population development to the strength and "rejuvenation" of the country.

☆ 5 ways China's trying to get people to have more babies — from cash incentives to cracking down on the 'bride price'
  + stars: | 2023-10-05 | by ( Huileng Tan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
In 2022, China's population started shrinking for the first time in six decades. The push for marriage and babies comes after China last year saw a record low of 6.83 million marriages registered. Here's how China has tried to get its people to have more babies over the past two years. Wenzhou, a city in southeast China, is offering would-be parents up to 3,000 yuan in subsidies per child. In August, a county in eastern China started offering couples 1,000 yuan in cash if the bride was 25 years old or younger, according to a post on its official WeChat account.

☆ China's so desperate to boost its birth rates, it's even cracking down on customary betrothal gifts for brides to help people get married more easily

China's cracking down on the custom of the "bride price" to facilitate marriages and boost birth rates. These betrothal gifts include cash, jewelry, cars, and even real estate. A delegate from the state-backed All-China Women's Federation proposed that authorities look into measures to curb expensive betrothal gifts, the women's rights organization said in a Wednesday statement. Still, nearly three-quarters of marriages involve the custom of betrothal gifts, according to a 2020 survey of 1,846 China residents by Tencent News. This is because betrothal gifts — which are typically given after negotiations between the two families — can include cash, jewelry, cars, and even real estate, according to the Tencent News survey.
