Birthrates have been below the replacement level for 30 years, and China’s population has begun shrinking.
— @alecolarizi July 5, 2023 Sociologists sometimes talk about a new demographic equilibrium in wealthy countries, with parents choosing lower quantity, higher “quality” parenting. “Quality” parenting, according to this definition, involves the massive investment of time and money into the success of your one or two children.A China with fewer children appears to be a China with fewer happy children.
In South Korea, where suicides are also very high, the problem appears to be among the elderly. This is connected to low birthrates, too, as many of the elderly do not have children or grandchildren to take care of them.
