China's Birth Rate Plummets 17%: What's Driving the Demographic Shift?

This demographic shift raises concerns about an aging workforce and potential long-term economic consequences, highlighting the complex interplay between policy, societal trends, and population dynamics. The birth rate is now at levels similar to those seen when China's population was a fraction of its current size.
