This is the latest measure to incentivise young people to get married amid a declining birth rate.
HONG KONG: A county in eastern China is offering couples a “reward” of 1,000 yuan if the bride is aged 25 or younger, the latest measure to incentivise young people to get married amid rising concern over a declining birth rate.
Concerned about China’s first population drop in six decades and its rapid ageing population, authorities are urgently trying an array of measures to lift the birth rate including financial incentives and improved childcare facilities. Marriage rates hit a record low in 2022 at 6.8 million, the lowest since 1986, according to government data released in June. There were 800,000 fewer marriages last year than in 2021.
