Many hospitals in China stop newborn delivery services as birth rate drops
on March 19, 2024 at 8:04 am
HONG KONG — Many hospitals in China have stopped offering newborn delivery services in 2024, state-backed news outlet Daily Economic News reported, with industry experts warning of an "obstetric winter" due to declining demand amid a record drop in new births. Hospitals in various provinces, including in eastern Zhejiang and southern Jiangxi, have in the past two months announced that they will close their obstetric departments, according to notices viewed by Reuters. The Fifth People's Hospital of Ganzhou City in Jiangxi said on its official WeChat account that obstetric services would be suspended from March 11. Zhejiang's Jiangshan Hospital of Traditional Medicine announced on its WeChat page that its obstetrics business would stop from Feb 1. The closures come as Chinese policymakers grapple with how to boost young couples' desire to have children, as the authorities face a growing demographic headache of a rapidly ageing society. […]

More Chinese tied the knot in 2023, lifting marriage rates for first time in 9 years
on March 19, 2024 at 3:23 am
HONG KONG — The number of new marriages in China jumped 12.4 per cent in 2023 from a year earlier, reversing a downtrend that has lasted for almost a decade as more youth tied the knot after delaying their nuptials due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The number of newlyweds rose to 7.68 million last year, according to data released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs last week. This was up 845,000 couples from 2022 but still far below the peak of 13.47 million couples hit in 2013. The data comes after China's Premier Li Qiang pledged in March that the government would work towards "a birth-friendly society and promote long term, balanced population development", as well as reducing the cost of childbirth, parenting and education. Policymakers are grappling with how to reverse a declining population, where the birthrate is falling and society ageing rapidly. Roughly 300 million Chinese are expected to enter retirement in the coming decade — the equivalent of almost the entire US population. […]
