China's Baby Bust: Why $25B Won't Save Xi's Economy | WION Originals

Описание: China’s population is shrinking faster than ever—and Beijing’s solution may not be enough.
In 2025, China lost 3.39 million people, with births plunging to their lowest level in decades and marriages collapsing by a record margin. Despite plans to spend nearly $25 billion on child subsidies, free IVF, and pregnancy care, demographers warn the measures are unlikely to spark a baby boom.
This video breaks down why young Chinese are choosing not to have children, how decades of population control reshaped social norms, and why economic pressure, job insecurity, high education costs, and gender inequality are undermining pro-birth policies.
With China’s workforce shrinking and pension systems under strain, the baby bust poses a serious threat to Xi Jinping’s economic ambitions—and the country’s long-term growth.
