Details

The government is trying to increase the low birth rate in China, so it surveyed 30,000 people to understand the factors that influence their attitudes toward childbearing.

The survey will include people  from 150 counties in China and 1500 different communities. The survey aims to analyze "reluctance and fear associated with having children" and ultimately provide birth support and incentives.

In this way, Beijing is trying to encourage young couples to have children against the backdrop of China's population decline for the second year in a row.

Addendum

Earlier, Chinese officials said that they would focus more efforts on promoting marriage and having children at the "appropriate age.

The government also calls for shared parental responsibility to guide young people toward a "positive view of marriage, childbirth, and family.

Last year, China announced a number of projects aimed at encouraging women to get married and have children.
