According to the department, the study will be held from October 10 to November 30. The Chinese government wants to study parameters such as ethnicity, age, migration status, education level, marital status, having children and other indicators.
As explained in the State Statistical Office, recently a trend has formed in Chinese society towards a decrease in the birth rate and an aging population. Experts attribute this to the policy that has been conducted in China since the 1970s.
Due to the ban on having more than one child in one family, China has experienced a rapid drop in the birth rate. According to the official forecast, the share of citizens over the age of 60 in China will exceed 30% by 2035. In 2022, the number of residents in the country began to decline for the first time since 19604.
