Remembering Valentino Garavani: Icon of Italian Fashion Passes Away at 93

China's birth rate has dropped to a record low of 5.63 per 1,000 people as the population shrinks, exacerbating challenges posed by an ageing demographic and a weakening economy. The government has implemented various incentives to encourage higher birth rates, such as financial bonuses and extended maternity leave. However, despite these measures, concerns over the cost of raising children and changes in lifestyle preferences among the younger generation complicate the situation. Experts warn that if trends continue, China's population may halve by 2100, posing serious economic and social challenges.
