China's fertility rate drops to record low 1.09 in 2022: State media
HONG KONG: China's fertility rate is estimated to have dropped to a record low of 1.09 in 2022, the National Business Daily said on Tuesday (Aug 15), a figure likely to rattle authorities as they try to boost the country's declining number of new births.
The state-backed Daily said the figure from China's Population and Development Research Center put it as having the lowest fertility level among countries with a population of more than 100 million.
