China's Population Crisis Spurs Education Reform as Women Refuse to Have Babies.

China is facing a population crisis as more women prioritize their careers and personal goals over starting a family. The rising cost of living and a sense of uncertainty towards the future due to Covid-19 are also factors. The Chinese government abolished its one-child policy in 2016 and scrapped childbirth limits in 2021, but married couples are having fewer children or choosing not to have any at all. Women in China are becoming more economically independent, and marriage is not an attractive option for many of them. High property prices also hinder many couples who might want to settle down.
