What Declining Fertility Means For Asia's Most Populous Countries | Shifting Horizons | China, India

China’s decades-long plummeting fertility rate has led to projections that its 1.4 billion population will shrink by more than half in just 75 years’ time. Meanwhile, in India, fertility rates in certain areas have dropped to below the ideal replacement level, and Indonesia threatens to follow suit. Journalist Sruthi Gottipati travels across Asia’s three most populous countries to understand the implications of these demographic trends on these countries’ futures. From attending a traditional Javanese baby shower in Indonesia, to joining some sari shoppers in India, to learning what the ‘DINK’ lifestyle means in China, Sruthi hears from young people themselves on the factors that are shaping their decisions on whether to have children. Through conversations with demographers and economists, Sruthi uncovers the hard data behind these considerations, as well as the economic implications to nations if their fertility rates continue to decline. 00:00 Introduction 02:17 China’s shrinking population 07:21 India’s declining fertility rate 10:47 Indonesia’s fertility rate 15:32 Attending a baby shower in Yogyakarta 18:57 Cultural sentiments of Indonesians 21:44 Child-free lifestyle in Indonesia 24:33 DINK couple in Chengdu, China 29:09 Chinese government’s family planning policies 32:41 India’s North-South divide 37:11 Sikkim’s efforts to tackle low fertility rates 39:53 Child-free movement in India 42:16 Big families in China ========= ABOUT THE SHOW: Seasoned journalist Sruthi Gottipati travels across India, China and Indonesia to explore the challenges that the youth are facing.
