EP11. Investing in the Cradle: Can China Afford Not to?
Description
This week, we spotlight a historic shift in China's population policy.
For the first time, China is rolling out a nationwide childcare subsidy—a bold, centrally funded move to directly support families and encourage childbirth.
With real money and policy muscle, Beijing signals it's serious about reversing its declining birthrate.
Host Xing Zheming unpacks: What's in the new subsidy plan? Why the government is spending 900 billion RMB on babies? How China's population policy has transformed—from the one-child era to today's pro-birth push. And the significance of reimbursing reproductive healthcare and expanding support services for families.
As China ages, this new wave of "baby-friendly" policies shows that the country is not just watching demographic trends—it's actively shaping them.
