Analysis of population census data reveals that the lifelong infertility rate among women in China is 5.16%
A study by the China Population and Development Research Center, a subsidiary of the National Health Commission, showed that in 2020, the lifelong infertility rate for 49 year old women in China was 5.16%, lower than the average level in the United States and European Union countries. Research has found that women with higher levels of education have a higher lifelong infertility rate. In 2020, the lifelong infertility rate of 49 year old women with primary and secondary education levels was close to 5%, while the lifelong infertility rates of 49 year old women with high school and college education levels and above were 6.46% and 7.98%, respectively.
The real estate purchase restriction policy is expected to further loosen, and nearly 20 cities in China are expected to relax their housing purchase restrictions
Recently, many regions in China have adjusted and relaxed restrictive home purchase policies. According to statistics from Zhongzhi Research Institute, since 2023, more than 100 places have introduced real estate regulation policies more than 300 times. Among them, nearly 20 cities such as Jinan, Changsha, and Xiamen have relaxed their purchase restriction policies, and some hot second tier cities such as Hangzhou have introduced policy optimization and purchase restriction measures multiple times. The number of cities that have relaxed loan and sales restrictions has also increased. At present, the pressure of adjustment in many real estate markets is increasing, facing slow recovery of market confidence and decreased transaction activity. The adaptability of restrictive home purchase policies has decreased when implementing urban policies. Chen Wenjing, Director of Market Research at Zhongzhi Research Institute, believes that more cities may gradually loosen restrictive policies in the second half of the year to promote market stability and recovery, especially in ordinary second tier and third - and fourth tier cities.
Some European and American countries find it difficult to book a visa number one appointment
Previously, it was more than enough to apply for a Schengen visa one to two months in advance. In this year's situation, it is best to prepare at least three months in advance. "What to prepare? The earlier you schedule the visa date, the better. Especially for popular European and American countries, visa appointments are now difficult to obtain. According to interviews with reporters, the biggest challenge for tourists traveling abroad this summer is visas. For example, in Germany, the visa submission date that can be scheduled has already reached October or even November, and overall, the summer vacation and National Day holiday, which are two abundant travel schedules, have already passed. If you start booking visas now, perhaps you can only go to Christmas.".
Why does she still say that China's aging population is not as severe when the population has already grown negatively?
What stage has China's economic growth actually entered? How serious is the aging population? What kind of industrial policies should the government formulate to support development? Harvard Ph.D. in Economics and tenured professor of economics at the London School of Economics, Kim Kae yu, gave the answer at the 2023 Summer Davos Sina Finance Night · Zhenghe Island Night Talk, jointly hosted by Sina Finance and Zhenghe Island.
Although China has entered an era of negative population growth, with a natural population growth rate of -0.60% in 2022, the total labor productivity is 153000 yuan/person, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%. Drawing on the experience of developed economies, if per capita income develops to a certain extent, it will face the problem of aging population, but it will not hinder economic growth. In comparison, future economic development will rely more on investment in technology or capital. "This is a self realization of economic development that needs to be viewed rationally," said Jin Kayu.
In addition, Jin Keyu also pointed out that there is still some room for macroeconomic regulation in China, and there is also significant room for economic stimulus. Firstly, there is currently significant room for increase in per capita disposable income in China.
Secondly, the service industry contributes 47% of employment and 52% of GDP in China, but there is still a lot of room for improvement compared to 80% of GDP in developed economies.
Thirdly, industrial upgrading is still in the deep water zone of tackling difficulties, with huge potential investment space, mainly focusing on green and low-carbon, high precision and cutting-edge, breakthrough technologies, and other aspects.
