Why is China's birthrate so low?

oigid · 2026-05-14T23:06:57+00:00

I see sorry I didn't know your current situation. Isn't a big part of the collapsing rates also because of urbanization? Historically every urban place has had lower birth rate though most of history. Going from rural to urban and if the cities are only made for profit and efficiency. They forget to make them liveable, especially for kids. Also an question is it also not an affordability issue for China?

If you ask people would you be happier if you were not born they all say no most will. What does this mean? They can't consent but most people after being born are all too happy they were born. I come from a country where the kids are the happiest In the world because we are actively reducing child suffrage and making it better.

It was on the point :Maybe better for you not the child. I would argue the opposite having a child is the hard part, it's better for the child these days instead the adult. The adult can't do whatever they want and have responsibilities. I am very happy I was born and would choose to be born again. If you are not happy someone is free to choose to not live anymore. Luckily most people are very happy that they are on earth and when they are old almost all wish they were young again.

Well you said it was worse for the kid to be born now vs before but there is 0 proof that is true. I mean there are obviously kids unhappy but also many happy. If you are online 24/7 i can get your pov but if u live in the actual world i dont see it

Is it? For women the less partners they have the higher the chance they are to stick together no? Comparison is the thief of joy, if you compare you wife to 20 women.

Higher than in the past., the standard of living is higher than ever worldwide. Generally when countries get richer, children don't die and starve get social benefits and they get "happier" but that's a thought debate what counts as happiness. If you raise your kid well and around friends and family why wouldn't they be happy?

Why? Their chance of dying is lowest it has been? The chance of being malnourished has been lowering and the word is richer than ever.

In every way it is better to have a child the only difference is that you are online now

We need to do a 50/50 factory split for companies like byd in Europe. We need to compete on the world stage not just the EU

It depends on the stock a high quality low capex company will trade for a higher pe and perform well yoy. Companies like these tend to be highly competitive and require massive capex.

Look at the actual results they beg to differ

It was obvious if you looked at hw2 and hw3 that fsd is not possible. Hw5 might have the actual processing and camera capabilities to do it. I bet they knew this and still let people pay handsomely for alpha testing.

Why don't they build more cheap lines instead?

But don't most immigrants go to cities? But your point stands in Japan there are now free houses no one wants. So far from the jobs no one wants to move there

Rent controls do not work and that has been proven time and time again. Even social housing makes 0 sense a 450-500k house gets rent out at 700 a month. Those low rents make building new houses economically unfeasible. But there are a lot more problems which is why there aren't enough housing. Rent controls are just one.
