The total fertility rate is one of the most commonly used indicators of fertility, which assumes that women spend their childbearing age according to the age-specific fertility rate of a given year, and the average number of children per woman in childbearing age. Generally speaking, the total fertility rate of 2.1 is a warning line for the level of population replacement from generation to generation.

According to previous data released by Interface News, in 2022, the total fertility rate in Shanghai was 0.7, the average first childbearing age of the registered population was 30.36 years, and the average childbearing age was 31.18 years old.

The data show that the rate of one child, two children, three children and four children in Shanghai is 66.24, 29.10, 4.21 and 0.45 respectively. The one-child rate of the registered population in Shanghai is 74.03%, the second-child rate is 24.02%, the third-child rate is 1.84%, and the fourth-child rate is 0.11.

Among the permanent residents of Shanghai, the number of women of childbearing age is 5.9961 million and the number of married women of childbearing age is 3.7664 million. Among the registered population in Shanghai, there are 3.0166 million women of childbearing age and 1.8516 million married women of childbearing age.

The latest figures show that the resident population of Shanghai is 24.8745 million. Among them, there are 14.8017 million permanent residents and 10.0728 million migrant residents. In 2023, 98000 permanent residents were born in Shanghai, the birth rate was 3.95 ‰, and the natural growth rate of resident population was-2.42 ‰.

At the national level, the results of the seventh national census released in 2021 show that the total fertility rate of women of childbearing age in China is 1.3. Ning Jizhe, then deputy head of the Seventh National Census leading Group and director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said this was mainly affected by the continuous decline in the number of women of childbearing age and the gradual weakening of the "second child" effect. Zeping macroscopically released the "China population situation report 2024" that the current total fertility rate in China is about 1.0.

In 2023, China had 9.02 million births, a birth rate of 6.39 per thousand, a death rate of 11.1 million, a population mortality rate of 7.87 per thousand, and a natural population growth rate of-1.48 per thousand.

In view of the trend of China's population development, he Dan, director of the China population and Development Research Center, and Shi Yi, an associate researcher, have jointly written an article pointing out that China has issued a series of supporting policies and supporting measures around the fertility issue. however, these measures have been difficult to meet the strategic needs of population development in the new period, and it is difficult to solve the current practical problems such as "unable to grow up", "unable to raise well", "unable to produce" and so on.

For example, the coverage of the maternity insurance system is low, the investment in infant care services is low, the support of assisted reproductive services is blank, the core support system is absent, the effect of policy implementation is insufficient and so on.

In this regard, he Dan and Shi Yi believe that the policy system of fertility support should not be limited to fertility itself, but should play a policy combination around family development on the basis of the three systems. At the same time, regular follow-up assessments of the effectiveness of fertility policy implementation should be carried out based on multi-source data such as demographic statistics, administrative registration and social surveys, and a comprehensive evaluation of the integrity, inclusiveness and fairness of policy measures should be carried out to narrow regional, urban-rural and gender differences in policy support.

In February this year, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission issued a circular on the key points of population monitoring and family development in Shanghai in 2024. The circular pointed out that Shanghai will promote the improvement and implementation of active fertility support measures and strive to build a fertility-friendly society. Shanghai will improve the level of eugenics and reproductive health services, prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduce abortion for non-medical needs, and promote fertility protection.
