In china now the birth rates are all time low, even in sg is the chinese that have the lowest too... countries like tw too... so what is wrong with our culture that create such crisis?
bro they are smarter and wiser they know when to have more babies and when not to have.

when there alot of jobs apportunities and they have good wealth then they have children.

if there not much jobs opportunities and they cant see good future for their offspring they wont dare to have baby maybe 1 is the max!

sadly if u see around the world there we are over populated and there really not much future for the next generations.

the world need to inplement one child policy so that reduce the world population then our future generations have a chance in life bro

It is not just the Chinese. Its been happening in 1st world countries for about 2 decades now.

As the middle class gets more affluent, more women get educated and have more options regarding career and lifestyle. Understandably, they want to go to University, get good jobs, hold onto those good jobs for longer and be financially independent.

The impact of this is that fewer women choose to have children or less children or have them later in life.

In the last few years the situation has ben made worse by the Pandemic and also the costs of living. People are increasingly seeing the financial burden of having children impact their lives and choosing to delay or not do it at all.

Japan is one of the most extreme examples and China is catching up where the costs and work life balance makes having children more difficult and more of a sacrifice.

On the flip side it is all the useless countries / people that keep breeding like crazy.

I believe woman charter contributes to this.

Woman charter delays marriage coz guy need to make sure the woman is the right one before he get married. The risk for a fail marriage is too high for man but not so for the female counterpart. Even if your wife gives you green hat, you still need to pay maintenance and divide asset if the asset is acquired during marriage or there is enhancement to the asset during marriage(I personally view it as capital appreciation). Woman charter is so powerful that even prenup unable to supersede it.

Then by the time both parties make sure they love one and other, the marriage age is 30’plus years old.
Fertility rate huge decline due to woman’s egg are produced at the moment they were born. The eggs just wait for their turns to be released one by one.
that’s why you rarely heard of woman able to reproduce after age 40 but guys still can have kids even though they are 50-60s.

China TFR is much higher than Singapore!
Singaporean TFR is the lowest in the whole world, they boost it by having more PRs that are young and willing to convert into Singaporean as a whole family. That’s why you see a slightly higher TFR now(one of the lowest, but not the lowest).

China is not just made up of developed cities...
So there's countryside too.

However, traditionally China has very sex bias views... Leading to many female babies being aborted. The one child policy add on to this issue.

So developed cities may have females but they are highly educated, parents treated like treasure since only one so will want guys with equal or higher earning power/social standing -> only considered city guys. City guys also super pampered since only child... Find city gals high requirement and princessy... (Some of them are mama boys too)

Countryside normally labor intensive so male babies are preferred, even if there exemption from one child policy... Female babies are aborted... So excess of males without partner, either they kidnap/buy female to become wife or childless.
