* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
China's social development has been influenced by a myriad of factors, including labor force dynamics, population aging, and economic growth. Notably, the gradual decrease in the birth rate has emerged as a critical concern, warranting in-depth analysis of its implications. This paper delves into the current state of China's birth rate, identifies the challenges associated with it, and explores its impact on the nation's comprehensive national strength. This paper conclude that the effect of the birth rate on the sustainability of China's economy. As the domestic consumer base dwindles, economic growth may face obstacles due to reduced domestic demand. Additionally, a higher dependency ratio, with fewer workers supporting a growing elderly population, could further strain public resources and social welfare systems. In light of these challenges, this abstract offers recommendations to address the declining birth rate and its impact on China's economic development.
