On February 8, the Ministry of Public Security released the “2020 National Name Report”, stating that by December 31, 2020, 10.035 million newborns will be born in 2020 and registered with public security organs. A netizen signed by “Cao Shan Shi” disclosed that the number of household registrations reported for the same period in 2019 was 11.79 million, with a significant decline of about 15% in 2020. Some netizens said that high housing prices are the best contraceptive.
According to the official media of the Communist Party of China, on February 8, the Ministry of Public Security released the “2020 National Name Report”. According to the report, as of December 31, 2020, a total of 10.035 million newborns will be born in 2020 and have been registered with the public security authorities, including 5.290 million boys (52.7%) and 4.745 million girls (47.3%). Although there will certainly be some newborns born in 2020 who have not yet registered for household registration, there is no doubt that there will be a significant decline in newborns in 2020.
The report also said that data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that the birth rate has been declining in recent years, and the number of newborns continues to fall.
The netizen signed by “Cao Shan Shi” calculated the same data comparison with the same period in 2019: “Household registration does not mean that 10.03 million births in 2020, the same number of household registration reported in the same period in 2019 is 11.79 million, while the final births are 14.65 million. But 1003 vs. 1179 is comparable, or a decline of about 15%.”
Here are the data published by the National Bureau of Statistics.
As you can see from the data released by the NSO, 2016 was a peak in births, and after that, births have been declining. Here are the percentages of the birth rate decline.
2017: 3.53%
2018: 11.60%
2019: 3.81%
2020: 14.93%
If you compare 2020 to 2016, after these short 4 years, the new births plummet by 30%.
Netizen’s comment.
“A 15% drop is still astonishing! One reason is that many young couples were forced to postpone their birth plans last year when the country’s hospitals closed or reduced services due to the Epidemic.”
“The logic doesn’t make sense, children born in January-March 2020 should have been planned for January-March 2019, how could the epidemic have been known in 19?”
“The physical and mental environments are causing tremendous stress on young people, and a decline in fertility is the inevitable result, and there are no signs of sparing distress in sight. Hopefully, there will not be a collapsing clan.”
“Such a group that has completely cut off the roots of the Chinese people, I wonder what kind of deep hatred they have for China, yet they still claim to represent the interests of the Chinese people in any way, it is really slippery.”
“You don’t even know how to live if you feed yourself? How can you have the courage to raise a child! The next ten years will get lower and lower.”
“This is to come to a big data adjustment, to reconcile the false data of the previous years, otherwise the further you go, the less right it is. The actual population is not that much, the gap is more than 100 million.”
“The epidemic made the birth rate negative instead, and it is estimated that they are afraid to give birth.”
“The birth rate is starting to fall off a cliff.”
“15 years proposed real estate to inventory credit, solved the problem of too many people in China for thousands of years, really realize the eugenics, can not afford to live in the house of the low-end population was wiped out!”
“Born to raise can not afford, now more and more young people choose to dink, the burden is too big, can not.”
“The flip side of the plummeting birth rate year after year is rapid aging, wondering why the top brass doesn’t pay attention to it? Decades of Family planning inertia thinking is so heavy?”
