China’s current pro-birth policies cannot offset population crisis, expert warns
专家警告说,中国目前的生育政策无法抵消人口危机
If China’s fertility rate remains on its downward trajectory, for every newborn in the future, six people would die – a trend that threatens to intensify the nation’s demographic crisis, a demographer has cautioned.
一位人口学家警告说,如果中国的生育率继续保持下降趋势,未来每出生一个新生儿就会有六人死亡,这一趋势有可能加剧该国的人口危机。
“With the current half-hearted incentive policies, not only is it impossible to raise the fertility rate, but even maintaining it at 1.0 seems out of reach,” warned a recent report published by the YuWa Population Research Institute.
“在目前三心二意的激励政策下,不仅不可能提高生育率,甚至将生育率维持在1.0也似乎遥不可及,”育娲人口研究所最近发布的一份报告警告说。
