China News Service, January 20 (Peng Ningling) At a press conference held by the National Health and Medical Commission on the 20th, Song Jian, deputy director of the Population and Development Research Center of Renmin University of China, introduced that the number of women of childbearing age depends on the size of the previous birth cohort. -In 1975 and from 1981 to 1997, the number of births in my country exceeded 20 million. Under the conditions of slow changes in the death rate, birth cohorts of different sizes entering the reproductive age will affect the total number of women of reproductive age.
For a period of time in the future, the high birth cohort between 1981 and 1997 will still be the main body of women of childbearing age in my country, but the number of women entering the childbearing age will be shrinking, which will lead to a continuous decline in the total number of women of childbearing age, and the internal age structure tends to be aging, especially 20- The number of 34-year-old women of childbearing age will drop significantly before 2030, which will bring greater downward pressure on the birth population.
