Core Viewpoint - The CEO of BGI Group, Yin Ye, emphasizes that China's total fertility rate ranks second lowest globally, indicating a significant demographic challenge that could lead to a future scenario where three 60-year-olds support one newborn [1][2]. Group 1: Fertility Rate Concerns - China's fertility rate is critically low, currently competing with South Korea for the lowest rate, even below Japan [1]. - The low birth rate is attributed to a complex interplay of factors, including high infertility rates, which are reported to be between 15% and 20% [2]. Group 2: Economic Considerations - The decision to have children is heavily influenced by the perceived "input-output ratio," where families weigh the costs and benefits of raising children [2][3]. - There is skepticism about the effectiveness of subsidies in increasing birth rates, as successful long-term examples globally are rare, with only short-term effects observed in countries like France and Hungary [2]. Group 3: Future Implications - The demographic trend poses a significant challenge for future societal structures, with a potential imbalance where an aging population outnumbers the youth, leading to unsustainable support systems [2]. - The advancement of technology raises questions about the necessity of a large human population, as future innovations may alter traditional roles and needs [3].
