People in Beijing, China said Tuesday that they were reluctant to have more children, even as the country recorded its first population drop in six decades in 2022.

The country’s National Bureau of Statistics reported a drop of nearly 850,000 people last year for a population of 1.41175 billion, marking the first decline since the last year of China’s Great Famine in 1961.

“I don’t think it solves anything fundamentally by allowing people to have a second child, or even a third child,” said one man. “I think firstly, the cost to raise a child now is too high, from when they are little, to when they go to school; then when they look for a job in the future, get married and have their own children, the cost is too high.”

The tally includes only the population of mainland China, excluding Hong Kong and Macao and foreign residents.
