"Xi Calls for Women to Lead China's Family and Modernization"

Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the critical role of women in establishing a "new trend of family" as China faces an aging population and a record decline in the birth rate. Xi discussed the importance of women's work with the All China Women's Federation, stating that it is not only related to their own development but also to family harmony, social harmony, and national progress. To address the declining birth rate, Xi called for actively cultivating a new culture of marriage and childbearing and providing guidance on young people's views on marriage, childbirth, and family. China has implemented measures such as financial incentives and improved childcare facilities to boost the birth rate and counter the population decline.
