According to statistics from the Evergrande Research Institute, which specializes in real estaterelated research, in 2018, the number of new births in China fell below 15 million. The subject came under Evergrande’s ambit as a decline in the birth rate is bound to deal a blow to the property industry.
古诗词是中华民族文化宝库中的瑰宝，具有很高的审美价值和文学价值。古诗词是古诗文教学的重要组成部分，学习古诗词是提高学生语文素养，培养民族情感的一个重要途径。新课程标准强调了古诗词教学的重要性和必要性，初中语文古诗文教学已经得到教师和学生越来越多的关注。因此，在初中语文教学实践中，只有让学生学好古诗词，才能不断提高学生的文学鉴赏能力，陶冶学生的思想情操。
The figure indicates that although the two-child policy was extensively adopted in 2015, replacing the outdated one-child policy from the early 1980s, encouraging every couple to have two children, the birth rate has not increased as sharply as expected.
Even though the two-child policy was not fully in place in 2014, new births that year reached 16.87 million.After the one-child policy ended in September 2015,new births increased to 17.86 million in 2016, the fastest growth since 2000. However, in 2017, new births dropped to 17.23 million and in 2018, to less than 15 million.
Although 2018 marked the third year of the twochild policy, the birth rate saw a decline instead of an expected rise. If this trend continues, the demographic dividends China once enjoyed will vanish.
The tricky thing was that the one-child policy made many couples of child-bearing age feel that having one child was also good. They no longer believed in the traditional idea of having more than one child, even though the current policy encourages them to have two.
First, although the Chinese tradition holds that having more children means more wealth and happiness,the family-planning policy adopted in 1978 to alleviate pressure on various resources put the one-child policy at its core. Focusing on the quality of the population, it allowed every couple to have only one child and remained in effect until 2014.
In 2015, the median age of the Chinese population stood at 37. However, Evergrande predicted that the age will rise to 43 in 2030 and 50 in 2050 if the current trend continues.
According to sample statistics by Edu.sina.com.cn, a portal providing comprehensive information on China,on average, educational expenses during preschool account for 26 percent of a family’s annual income. During primary and middle school, it accounts for 21 percent,and 29 percent during the college period. One more child will strain a family’s economic resources and its overall quality of life.
Although China’s economic aggregate ranks second in the world, its per-capita GDP remains low. China needs to sustain new births at a rational rate before the dependency ratio expands, instead of standing by while the birth rate is on the decline.
Accelerated aging of the population will advance the grim spectacle of getting old before getting wealthy.Since the late 1970s, labor resource sufficiency was a crucial factor for China’s economic take-off. But long-term low birth rates will dry up the labor pool. In 2017, China’s dependency rate was 39.2 percent, with a relatively low burden of senior care on the work-age population.
Second, while China’s economy is making great strides, the burden of living on people’s shoulders is also increasing. The cost of housing, education and medical care keeps surging, together with huge pressure to support the elderly. The willingness to have more children is thus curbed.
Population is one of the basic factors and driving forces of economic and social development.To maintain a reasonable birth rate is a precondition for China’s future development
While the 2016 birth rate indicated that by 2030,the proportion of people aged 60 or more would reach 25 percent of the population, the 2016-18 birth rate prognoses that this age group will hit 30 percent of the population instead, indicating an escalation.

A continued low birth rate will result in the rapid aging of the population. This has two effects. First, elderly people will comprise a big chunk of the population, and second, the median age of the population will rise. In 2017, 17.3 percent of China’s population was 60 years old or above.
There are four major reasons why the birth rate is diving.
主要变量的统计特征如表2所示。Score是核心解释变量，OFDI组的均值略微高于非OFDI组，说明对外直接投资企业的融资约束程度更小。将SA指数作为补充性指标检验结果是否稳健，发现OFDI组的均值更小，所得结论与Score相同，因此本文初步认为融资约束会对企业对外直接投资产生抑制作用。
整个皖南均是水田漠漠的气象，灵性的，鲜亮的，温润的。合肥地处中原地带，不太适宜江南人的饮食起居。可不是吗？自离开芜湖以后，笔下生涩渐多，文字的灵性几乎荡然无存。
教育数据挖掘中的主要任务之一是学习结果预测。通过对学生学习行为和学习过程的分析预测未来的结果事件，例如哪些学生可能存在辍学的风险。也可对不能直接采集的数据属性进行预测，如学生的学习成绩。在[6]中，等人开发的Purdue Signals project项目即是采用预测模型进行学生学习结果预测的典型案例，实践证明该系统能够明显的改善教学效果。
Third, the number of women of child-bearing age is falling. According to Evergrande, by 2030, the number of women aged between 20 and 35 will plummet by 31 percent compared with 2017.
Fourth, Chinese women’s independence is improving. Today, China has basically realized gender equality and in family life, women can have the final say. Women’s academic education has been widely enhanced, bringing them more economic independence. Furthermore, more women choose to marry late in life or even not to marry at all. Some couples choose not to have children. All these factors have negative implications for China’s birth rate.
Population is one of the basic factors and driving forces of economic and social development. In some Western countries, excessively low birth rates have triggered various problems, affecting social development. China should learn from these countries and take precautionary measures. To maintain a reasonable birth rate is a precondition for China’s future development. ■
