Inside China's Demographic Revolution

Jasmine Tse,Jarrod WattandJonathan Vit

There's more to the shock of China's declining population than just births, deaths and marriages. Chinese GenZ and millennials are choosing career over kids - or choosing to "lie flat" or "let it rot". The two most educated and affluent generations in China's history are making choices that are changing the economy and challenging Beijing's policies - but they're now facing historic levels of unemployment, just as a record 12 million Chinese college students are about to graduate. 

China's Demographic Revolution is a 5-part series of the Inside China podcast. Visit the project page here.
