Summary by NewsWall Apr 16 23
- Japan has been trying to encourage its people to have more children in recent years by promising cash bonuses and better benefits, but according to studies, it remains one of the most costly locations in the world to raise a child.
- According to official estimates, births fell to a new record low last year, falling below 800,000 for the first time - a watershed moment that arrived eight years sooner than the government had predicted.
- China reported this week that its population would fall in 2022 for the first time in 60 years.
