A county in eastern China is offering a 1,000 yuan ($137) reward to couples who marry when the bride is 25 or younger.
According to foreign media, this initiative is being taken to encourage young people to get married and to worry about the declining birth rate.
According to reports, Changshan county has also issued a notice in this regard last week.
According to foreign media, this notice also mentions taking care of pre-married children and providing educational concessions for them.
According to foreign media, concerned about China’s population shrinking for the first time in six decades and its rapidly aging population, officials are urgently seeking measures to boost the birth rate, including financial incentives and child care. Better care facilities are included.
