BEIJING, March 22 — The death rate in China’s capital Beijing surpassed its birth rate in 2022, official data showed on Tuesday, pushing its natural population growth into negative territory for the first time since 2003.
Beijing’s population decline was in line with national trends, with China’s population falling last year for the first time in six decades, weighed down by rising living costs especially in big, sprawling cities like Beijing, weak economic growth, and changing attitudes towards raising a family. The birth rates in Beijing and other cities and provinces are calculated based on the permanent residents not including migrant population, she said.
In early December, a nationwide lifting of strict Covid-19 curbs triggered a wave of infections and caused an unknown number of deaths.The data was based on a sample survey that began on November 1, according to a footnote in the release, which did not specify how long the survey took.
