China's population shrank in 2022 for the first time in more than 60 years, a new milestone in the country's deepening demographic crisis with significant implications for its slowing economy.
i can only hope that measures such as automation, ubi, and elderly care are accelerated in the decades to come.
I didn’t mean to talk down the difficulty of such demographic trends. But all I see from western media on the subject is projecting all the problems and failures capitalist nations have with an aging population onto China. To really consider how China is addressing this I’d be more interested in Party literature and what the 5 year plans have to say on the topic.
