Demographic Intelligence Releases Baseline China Birth Forecast
Charlottesville, Virginia (PRWEB) May 05, 2016 -- What will be the impact of China’s decision to lift the one-child policy? How many babies will be born in China this year? In a nation of over a billion people, with about 16 million births per year under the former one-child policy, what happens when that policy is lifted? The China Fertility Forecast 2016 Baseline Report, which provides national projections for Chinese births from 2015 to 2030, predicts that the impact of changes in the nation’s one-child policy will be modest. The report also includes detailed projections of Chinese births by mother’s age, province of residence, and education level from 2014 to 2017.
"Until recently, the Chinese government believed that birth planning was necessary to prevent rampant overpopulation," said Ethan Sharygin, Ph.D., lead author of the report. "Now, low rates of fertility prevailing across the country have caused them to reconsider. Gradually birth restrictions have been lifted, which will have some short-term effects. Over a longer horizon, economic conditions and a changing age structure suggest that more births will be to older, well educated, and more established couples." Sharygin received his doctorate in demography from the University of Pennsylvania and recently served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle.
This Baseline Report by Demographic Intelligence is essential for businesses making strategic development plans for the China market, especially in the juvenile and healthcare sectors. A full understanding of China’s underlying demographics will assist planners and marketers in making wise decisions about future economic and demographic trends. The China Fertility Forecast 2016 Baseline Report predicts births based on a statistical model that normalizes and reconciles data from several sources, including official Chinese data as well as results from academic and government research.
