Families: Number of marriages continues to fall

Only 6.1 million couples tied the knot in China in 2024. This means that the number of marriages is falling more sharply than ever before – despite efforts by the authorities to promote a traditional family image.

'It is a brutal anti-feminist crackdown'

Chinese society continues to become more conservative; the Communist Party throws old progressive ways of thinking overboard and sends women back to the kitchen. This puts women under pressure, but will not succeed with young women, says Leta Hong Fincher, a journalist and author specializing in women's rights, in an interview by Christiane Kuehl.

Wegen der niedrigen Geburtenraten drohen China massive Probleme in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Eine Reihe von Maßnahmen wie Geldanreize und bessere Kinderbetreuungsdienste sollen Abhilfe schaffen, einige Berater schlagen auch radikalere Wege vor. Die Erfolgsaussichten sind umstritten, denn das eigentliche Problem liegt viel tiefer.

Warum schrumpft die uigurische Bevölkerung?

Aufgrund der Ein-Kind-Politik haben chinesische Behörden Abtreibung, Sterilisation und Verhütungsmittel wie Intrauterinpessaren (Spiralen) verordnet. Es liegt daher nahe anzunehmen, dass der dramatische Rückgang der Geburten in Xinjiang die Auswirkungen solcher Maßnahmen widerspiegelt. Doch die Gründe seien vielschichtiger und auch von sozioökonomischer Natur, analysiert der Familienplanungsexperte und Autor Yi Fuxian von der University Wisconsin-Madison.

Why is the Uyghur population shrinking?

Because of the one-child policy, Chinese authorities have prescribed abortion, sterilization, and contraceptives such as intrauterine devices (IUDs). So it is natural to assume that the dramatic decline in births in Xinjiang reflects the impact of such measures. But the reasons are more complex and also socioeconomic, analyzes family planning expert and author Yi Fuxian of the University Wisconsin-Madison.
