☆ 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.

☆ Is the bride 25 or younger? Couples get cash reward to promote earlier marriage in China
  + stars: | 2023-08-30 | by ( Cheng Cheng | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
A newly-wed couple pose with their marriage certificates at the marriage registration center during '520 I Love You' Day on May 20, 2023 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province of China. Local Chinese officials trying to encourage earlier marriages are offering an incentive that all newlywed couples can appreciate: cash. The reward, which is restricted to couples marrying for the first time, is meant to promote "age-appropriate marriage and childbearing," the notice said. They include abolishing the "one-child policy" that reigned from the late 1970s until 2016, which was designed to limit the number of births to prevent China's population from growing too quickly. The China Population and Development Research Center, a government-backed institution, said the number of children per woman in China was the lowest among countries with populations over 100 million.

A county in China is offering couples a cash reward of $137 if the bride is under 25. The county is also handing out childcare subsidies and benefits, to encourage people to have babies. Recently, a county in eastern China started offering couples 1,000 Chinese yuan, or $137, in cash if the bride is 25 years old or younger, according to a post on its official WeChat account last Thursday. They are even offering free public transport in the county for families with two or more kids under the age of 16. The push for marriage and babies comes after China saw a record low of 6.83 million marriages registered in 2022.

☆ Chinese county offers 'cash reward' for couples if bride is aged 25 or younger
  + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The notice, which was published on Changshan county's official Wechat account last week, said the reward was to promote "age-appropriate marriage and childbearing" for first marriages. It also included a series of childcare, fertility and education subsidies for couples who have children. China's legal age limit for marriage is 22 for males and 20 for females, but the number of couples getting married has been falling. That has driven down birth rates due to official policies which make it harder for single women to have children.
