Policy makers must be grandpas that made the people stop having more than one kid when they were young, demanded high grades from their kids when them kids were studying n now they r demanding grandkids from this gen. But they logic will only make people stay away from getting married. Or may b that’s what the people on top want…that only the tops ones should have a family.
As someone from a country where divorce is illegal, making it harder to divorce just gives people more reason to not get married. You'll also see more people stuck in abusive and toxic relationships.
Honestly since 80% of divorce is initiated by women, I think more countries should be like the Philippines or have divorce laws that wont rob the man to reward the woman for leaving. Marriage should not be a profit center for anyone.
They just kept ignoring the elephant in the room. It’s the rising cost of living and low wages that is keeping people from wanting to seek marriage. So selfish of the govt just wanting more labor force through manipulation of policies but not wages.
It's impossible to reduce so many people Population reduction only affects a few big cities, such as Shanghai and Shenzhen. There are many children where I live, and most of my relatives have two or even three children. It’s not as exaggerated as foreign media propaganda. At most, the population may be reduced to about 1 billion by the end of this century.
Wage isn’t the main issue, but it is one of the issues. The few issues are women have a higher demand, better chance to meet men, and less reliable to men. Men spend a lot to start a relationship and lose a lot when the relationship falls apart. Men has a very high risk.
How is making divorce harder helping with population? If a couple is at that point where they don’t want to stay together anymore, what‘s the point of them having a baby? Isn’t that just spreading the misery of two people onto three people?
@@courtly5982You’re assuming people marry a more suitable partner because divorce will get harder. If people could always think and plan that much ahead in life, would we still have all those regrets in this world?

If you want to increase the birth rate, then lower the costs of living and childcare. You must also pass labor laws limiting the amount of hours you can work every week. Start with a 40 hour work week and gradually decrease it.
@@IamtheMan1111 Many Chinese farmer families are impoverished, and cut off from a lot of the amenities in their older villages. Education is often the only way to escape that, and homeschooling will not make that easier. Kids are getting out of the farm to get their families more money and out of poverty, and with how painfully competitive education is, homeschooling is more of a handicap than a help here. That's not a real solution that will help them, and even if some of them leave the rat race that is society, that doesn't mean the rat race will actually stop. That's what the government needs to actually address, and they'd also need to be the ones that implement changes so that people CAN farm without being painfully impoverished or cut off, and fix the toxic education system so homeschooling COULD be a viable option for some.
@@justanawkwardnerd but the cost of education and living out of farm is expensive too, so there's no better at all, right? Also, government funds are limited while people are many, so what's use depending on amenities anymore? Dependent and independent? I don't see which are benefits them more. If only people can choose what balance them most, there won't be any problem
@@IamtheMan1111 We live in 21st century, not 12th century. You can't expect everyone to engage in farming as vast majority of small individual farms can't compete with large industrialised ones. And saying it is easy shows you are clearly out of touch with reality.
They wouldn't have been in such dire straits had they ended the One Child Policy back in 1990s or even 2000s. Trying to reverse the course is like trying to steer a giant tanker ship at this point, but they still have to take every possible measures, however unpopular (and even harebrained it may be).
Making it harder to divorce is just giving people another reason not to get married 🙄 I think it's better to look at reducing the cost of living. When people don't have to worry about money so much then they have more free time and can focus on doing other things too. Like going out, looking for a partner, getting married, having kids etc. If that's what they want.
Best advice in life: Don't get married without considering the consequences. Also, if you or your partner can't spend most of the time with each other because of work or other reasons, you probably won't be able to stay committed in the relationship for long, the marriage will slowly fall apart. if you can't handle regret or marriage affair think about it seriously before marrying.
I think the problem still unanswered, what about the rising living cost from basic needs like food and fuel to complex like housing? Is there benefit offered to new parent like paid leave? If anything, hard to divorce only make for mentally stunted children who have to endure mental strain of troubled household
People are paid too little and CEOs too much. CEOs basically get the bonus for any collective effort and success of the company while merely keeping investors interested.

You must not know much about china... My wife is Chinese. At her old job in china she would have gotten 5 months paid leave for having a kid. Also rent in most places in china is cheap. my wife lived in the downtown of the 6th biggest city in China. Her rent was around 250 usd a month. Also food is cheap in China and we would spend around 5-6 dollars to feed two people per meal at a local restaurant and buying groceries are cheaper
The issue with not having a child is more due to the high costs of raising one... Making marriage easier is a nice gesture. But if the expense afterward stays the same, then it will not be an effective solution. Not a solution at all, in fact. As making divorce harder may instead discourage those who are already unsure about marriage. 😐
It is not as simple as that, the more intellectually enlightened the population are, the less likely they want to have children because they felt like children coming into this world will suffer. It is why traditionally it is normal to have more than 5 children but now it is just 1-2, it is so they can have better quality of life. The other reason are such as substituting children with pets which is less demanding, or people just want to enjoy life.
In India also younger generations are refusing to get married because of high inflation, low wage structure, low job availability, & last but not the least highly women biased judiciary.
You're referring to the small percentage of Indian population that is well off enough to consider those factors and is educated enough to make their own choices. They don't factor much in the overall growth and marriage rates, which are still sky high in poorer population, and 93% of which still practice arranged marriages in the first place (as of 2018, might be out of date and lower now).
30 days cooling off period is not making it harder. Australia has a one year separation policy before divorce. Most countries have minimum of 2 years cooling off period. Some countries, like the Philippines, divorce is illegal.
Its the same everywhere. When the country get more developed and people got wealthier the birth rate decline. The more materialistic the society the less they happy even when the wealth increase. All of us should reevaluate our priority in life as not to end up spending most of our life pursuing and competing for something we don't really need.
"In the first half of 2024, only 3.4 million marriage registrations". This may look like a very low number, but we have to take into account how many people there are: If we assume that the average age of marriage is 27 for women, then there are only 7.5 million women of that age in 2024. If the second half of 2024 presents as many marriages as the first, we will end up with 6.8 million marriages, 90% of the possible maximum. So all in all, it should not be a big surprise.
They could subsidize a flood of romantic movies! Media (partly) causes this problem, media can get them out of it! There are a lot of foolish comments today, that make it sound like youth are sitting down and making calculations, like a bunch of accountants. They might BE! But I think a lot of marriage is outside of this rational actor libertarian fantasy, people are driven by impulse, hormones, intense family pressure, intense media pressure.... Are very young people sitting down and saying "how is this going to look when I'm fifty-seven?"? I'm an engineer and I know better than that!
if the main problem is low birthrate, then China should make child adoption easier and legalize commercial surrogacy for persons or couples who have stable job/income but can't produce children, or person who don't want married but want children.
In 1988, after being married 3 years and pregnant with my 2nd bany, I seeked (Australian) government marriage guidance because I wasn't happy. They told me "Divorce counseling is free but marriage guidance you pay for." We went for 6 sessions and I am so happy now and still married. We had 4 children. Marriage is important security for the children but love grows stronger and meaningful over time. Australia’s birth rate is in reverse but immigration is growing the population. The cost of living is one of the highest in the world now. I think China is doing the right thing. We just had 3 weeks in China and it was wonderful.
Just curious if Yi Fuxian is a teaching staff at the University or not.

By the end of his lesson, i was so tired.
Should be providing state sponsored marriage counseling classes and exclusion for the cooling off period such as mental or physical abuse before divorce.
This will make many to think long and hard before they marry. Also, since it is harder to divorce, adultery cases will definitely rise markedly. I feel the better solution is having lower cost of living. Like cheaper cost of education, more affordable housing, doing away with the 996 work schedules etc. But these won't happen because it not financially beneficial. At the current rate, the rich will get richer, the poor will be poorer and the middle class that sustains the economy will shrink and may eventually disappear.
Divorce rate is actually pretty high in China 🇨🇳 as it became more Westernized. Young children suffer the most when couples get divorced or separated. I watch a Chinese RUclipsr who married twice and had children with both men.
Wouldn't it be better to provide easier access to marriage counselling and therapists? Sort out the issues so it doesn't affect the relationship instead of forcing them together?
Are they exclusive? And what "forcing" do you see here? We see a possible attempt to REMOVE BARRIERS, and let people make bad decisions you might say. I'm not married and pretty glad of it, but I can see how it might be in the National Interest, if not in your own interest! A LOT of things are like that!
The worst idea since the one child policy marriage should be the choice of both parties and divorce should not be the choice for the couple to make not any one else or the government of any country
Its like having a restaurant, the place is small and expensive, and there's a very long queue to order a place. So their solution is to make it easier to book a place but hard to cancel. This will only make most Ppl prefer going to other restaurants if they can, cuz its more convenient, faster, and easier to do.
It's important for a couple to introspect themselves whenever there's a problem in their family, because at the end of the day, the victim will be their children.
If it's about money, then it's not problem since they can live separately despite marriage status. But the most important things is how to make them psychologically married easier and harder to divorce.
This is a global phenomenon with more developed countries and an increasingly educated population. As citizens (especially women) become more educated, raising children is seen as a hindrance to a personally satisfying quality of life and career. The opposite is also true. Less educated societies where especially women are denied education and careers, their birth rates are high.
@@imshulei Agreed. However it's still impacting the generation of marriageable age. Since they are the one child result of the policy, they have fewer choices for marriage partners.
@@cmaven4762 Irrelevant, the main thing is to get married, the man needs to bear the burden of buying a house, so for many people who can't afford it, if they can solve the problem of the house, many of them will be able to get married smoothly, which is a bad phenomenon in society
@@imshulei In a modern society where people feel less willing to marry someone they don't like, even with the house people will stay single. Smaller number of people to choose from means more people choose to - or are forced to - stay single.
Or the Church. As it has been for many centuries. The church wants to ensure the populace producing more membership for their Religion while the Government wants to ensure new taxes, new workers and the building of their armies.
Hard to get divorce? If stuck in an abusive relationship. Instead of tackling the main problem, this looks like a small patch or a shortcut to increase child births.
I agree that divorce should be the last resort in a marriage but they also need to consider those within abusive relationships. Unless they make marriage financially better for couples then i don't see why this would make too much difference.
China recently ended foreign adoption. There will be Chinese children who grow up solely in adoption agencies and paid foster homes. As well, legal ( if China still permits) and illegal abortion rates will increase if pregnant women don’t see their infants being adopted into loving families domestically or now, internationally.
It’s not going to work. I live in Singapore and it’s easier to register for your marriage than to queue up at Starbucks to buy a coffee. Divorce on the other hand is harder than climbing Mount Everest. Half your assets will also go to your wife. Divorce rate is still rising every year or at least have not been coming down. More people have also chosen to be single and government is building more public housing to cater to these singles.
Honestly all of China's recent policy changes to "encourage" young people to marry and have kids have been completely tone-deaf. They only have the opposite effect of making people NOT want to get married at all.
Ahh it brings back my memories when i time traveled to ancient China, a female bandit kidnapped me and force me to be her husband. Since she is beautiful, i reluctantly agree to marry her and finally activated my golden finger called "many childrens many bessings". Since then my journey as immortal cultivator begins.
Sounds like something that the government would think off. Where the burden is placed on the people instead of addressing the problem at large. They just need to look at the mirror...
Who is that guy? He doesn't know what he is talking about. The 30 day cooling off period was introduced in 2021. there was an immediate fall in the divorce rate as some reconciliations took place.
Honestly, if they want more births, they should just give a child stipend and make child education cheaper. The number one thing turning people off from having kids is because it's freaking expensive, probably one of the most expensive compared to cost of living there, and people can barely afford to pay for themselves AND their parents, let alone kids. IMO, this is actually going to make people less likely to marry than they already are. Child birthrates in a population of highly educated people is directly correlated with economic security. The better the economy, the higher the birthrates. The worse the economy, the lower the birthrates.
No one likes being trapped into things. If you want people to have kids, fix the actual problem, the cost of living and necessity to work all hours of the day.
Is there an economic advantage provided by the Chinese government for married couples? Discounts or privileges or anything especially for those who have children? If there is none then prolonging the divorce procedure especially in a dysfunctional, loveless, or abusive relationship is counter intuitive. There would be less people getting married.
Better to do the reverse make it harder to marry and easier to divorce. Solution is to give more support to understanding emotions and interpersonal skills. And to examine cultural structures that impinge on family life - working too much, rigid gender roles, lack of parental leave, lack of housing, excessive work mobility and wealth inequality
How do you want them to get married if buying a simple apartment is so expensive? Buy one and a car, and pay for 30 years? Kids' education? Work in the office till midnight? How about make education free, like in Europe? How about give child support to parents every month? You talk about developed countries but don't talk about how expensive it is to have a family in China these days!
If to stop wasting money on western branded goods, they should work still their one last second awake, then they don’t have time to look at them, look for them. Unless you are talking about work less and got paid they can barely liveable..
When China wants to do something, it does it because there's no need to get approval from lobbyists. Youth employment can easily be solved by giving out incentives to employers hiring youths. If they haven't done it yet means that they dont think it's a problem
I'm willing to bet in the next few years you'll have government mandated marriage. Federal matchmakers will be given possibly thousands of applicants and will arbitrarily decide who is best suited to be their partner. Anything to produce more workers.

I'm not married and pretty glad of it, but I can see how it might be in the National Interest, if not in your own interest! A LOT of things are like that!
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, YOU WANT TO INCREASE BIRTH RATE AND MARRIAGE YET UNEMPLOYMENT IS HIGH
Very strict…
The worst idea since the one child policy marriage should be the choice of both parties and divorce should not be the choice for the couple to make not any one else or the government of any country
This is worse than a one child policy
They aren't Libertarians!
That been abolished long ago! Geuius.. It shows ur stupidity
Its like having a restaurant, the place is small and expensive, and there's a very long queue to order a place. So their solution is to make it easier to book a place but hard to cancel.
This will only make most Ppl prefer going to other restaurants if they can, cuz its more convenient, faster, and easier to do.
It's important for a couple to introspect themselves whenever there's a problem in their family, because at the end of the day, the victim will be their children.
There are many overseas Chinese that wanna migrate back to China but its not as easy
This is best chinese the CCP can think of ha ha ha
Yeah another wise policy. Just like the one child policy. Only gonna make the problem worse.
There’s going to be so much more domestic violence
If it's about money, then it's not problem since they can live separately despite marriage status. But the most important things is how to make them psychologically married easier and harder to divorce.
What is those merchandise in this place...Russell
This is a global phenomenon with more developed countries and an increasingly educated population. As citizens (especially women) become more educated, raising children is seen as a hindrance to a personally satisfying quality of life and career. The opposite is also true. Less educated societies where especially women are denied education and careers, their birth rates are high.
In China's case there's also the influence of the one child policy, which means there's just fewer people in the marriageable age group.
@@cmaven4762 The one-child policy has been cancelled for a few years now
@@imshulei Agreed. However it's still impacting the generation of marriageable age. Since they are the one child result of the policy, they have fewer choices for marriage partners.
@@cmaven4762 Irrelevant, the main thing is to get married, the man needs to bear the burden of buying a house, so for many people who can't afford it, if they can solve the problem of the house, many of them will be able to get married smoothly, which is a bad phenomenon in society
@@imshulei In a modern society where people feel less willing to marry someone they don't like, even with the house people will stay single. Smaller number of people to choose from means more people choose to - or are forced to - stay single.
Should be other way around
Getting married is like inviting a third wheel to the relationship - the government.
Or the Church. As it has been for many centuries.
The church wants to ensure the populace producing more membership for their Religion while the Government wants to ensure new taxes, new workers and the building of their armies.

A thirty day cooling period is laughable. In US can be up to a year. Increase wages and make the workplace more attractive to women
Also, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE NUMBER 65???
At least 65 kids per couple
@@tictactoe101 I'm not talking about the kids, I'm talking about the years
Hard to get divorce? If stuck in an abusive relationship. Instead of tackling the main problem, this looks like a small patch or a shortcut to increase child births.
The individual in china is definitely losing their rights.More or less ,the dissatisfaction rate could increase .
The world is changing fast.
I agree that divorce should be the last resort in a marriage but they also need to consider those within abusive relationships. Unless they make marriage financially better for couples then i don't see why this would make too much difference.
China recently ended foreign adoption. There will be Chinese children who grow up solely in adoption agencies and paid foster homes. As well, legal ( if China still permits) and illegal abortion rates will increase if pregnant women don’t see their infants being adopted into loving families domestically or now, internationally.
It’s not going to work. I live in Singapore and it’s easier to register for your marriage than to queue up at Starbucks to buy a coffee. Divorce on the other hand is harder than climbing Mount Everest. Half your assets will also go to your wife. Divorce rate is still rising every year or at least have not been coming down. More people have also chosen to be single and government is building more public housing to cater to these singles.
caging people in marriage and forcing children into the mix of people who don't wanna be together...what could go wrong
Honestly all of China's recent policy changes to "encourage" young people to marry and have kids have been completely tone-deaf. They only have the opposite effect of making people NOT want to get married at all.
Ahh it brings back my memories when i time traveled to ancient China, a female bandit kidnapped me and force me to be her husband. Since she is beautiful, i reluctantly agree to marry her and finally activated my golden finger called "many childrens many bessings". Since then my journey as immortal cultivator begins.
Sounds like something that the government would think off. Where the burden is placed on the people instead of addressing the problem at large. They just need to look at the mirror...
Does anyone want to marry me? I'm 5'4" 258 pounds and I've got more video games than a teenage Asian kid.
🤣
Who is that guy? He doesn't know what he is talking about. The 30 day cooling off period was introduced in 2021. there was an immediate fall in the divorce rate as some reconciliations took place.
DONT F UNLESS MARRIED
Why the sound had the isssue
Honestly, if they want more births, they should just give a child stipend and make child education cheaper. The number one thing turning people off from having kids is because it's freaking expensive, probably one of the most expensive compared to cost of living there, and people can barely afford to pay for themselves AND their parents, let alone kids.
IMO, this is actually going to make people less likely to marry than they already are.
Child birthrates in a population of highly educated people is directly correlated with economic security. The better the economy, the higher the birthrates. The worse the economy, the lower the birthrates.
I thought that 30 day cool off period was already policy ... For at least a year. .... All the Chinese micro dramas have it as a standard trope now.
No one likes being trapped into things. If you want people to have kids, fix the actual problem, the cost of living and necessity to work all hours of the day.
Is there an economic advantage provided by the Chinese government for married couples? Discounts or privileges or anything especially for those who have children? If there is none then prolonging the divorce procedure especially in a dysfunctional, loveless, or abusive relationship is counter intuitive. There would be less people getting married.
Better to do the reverse make it harder to marry and easier to divorce.
Solution is to give more support to understanding emotions and interpersonal skills.
And to examine cultural structures that impinge on family life - working too much, rigid gender roles, lack of parental leave, lack of housing, excessive work mobility and wealth inequality
How do you want them to get married if buying a simple apartment is so expensive? Buy one and a car, and pay for 30 years? Kids' education? Work in the office till midnight? How about make education free, like in Europe? How about give child support to parents every month? You talk about developed countries but don't talk about how expensive it is to have a family in China these days!
CCP is like that
The policies are "in line with the international community/"
You mean the countries that where women are second-class citizens?
Really weird
30days nothing that very fast compare to indonesia 90-180days to divorce and cost alot money bribe attorneys, judge, lawyer etc..😅
This will make people take marriage more seriously
Work less. Play more. Stop wasting money on western branded goods.
Problem solved.
... what about housing, car, and schooling
Boycott China
If to stop wasting money on western branded goods, they should work still their one last second awake, then they don’t have time to look at them, look for them. Unless you are talking about work less and got paid they can barely liveable..
nothing to do with western,we have toxic marriage culture😂😂
Ppl will hesitate to marry even more now. Also, those that want to divorce can't move on and create a new family. How is this helping?
When China wants to do something, it does it because there's no need to get approval from lobbyists. Youth employment can easily be solved by giving out incentives to employers hiring youths. If they haven't done it yet means that they dont think it's a problem
Only time I get a man and a woman a pass with marriage:
Why don't you get married?
I live in China dude.
Hmm... Hard to argue on that one. Pass.
China adopting Indian culture 🇮🇳 nice
Sarr, 🇮🇳 prefer to grape 🙄

China should do what Singapore does that way population decline won't be problematic.
China likes to do things their own ways. This new proposal is going to be disastrous.
What does Singapore do
@@SeelkadoomTHSyep
@@SeelkadoomTHS money, longer parental leave, subsidized housing for couples

I'm willing to bet in the next few years you'll have government mandated marriage. Federal matchmakers will be given possibly thousands of applicants and will arbitrarily decide who is best suited to be their partner. Anything to produce more workers.
Lamo in germany it’s 1 years 😅
