Sheng nu or emancipated woman? Which are you?

The Chinese government, afraid of the demographic trend of low birthrate and marriage has created the derogatory term of "leftover women" or Sheng nu. Now that this psyops campaign is known what other measures can we expect to see to force women to bear children? What could possibly entice an unmarried woman to want to have three or more children?

Considering women have the most to lose once we have kids. Possible careeer prospects, our bodies (men are visual creatures and many men have left or cheated on their wives because “she got fat from pregnancy” or was too busy taking care of the kids to have sex), the majority of house work and child care is their responsibility. Idk I think make being a mother less of a punishment would be a good start.

The Russian paradise has had the exact same problem for a long time:

The current birth rate for Russia in 2023 is 11.329 births per 1000 people, a 2.48% decline from 2022.
The birth rate for Russia in 2022 was 11.617 births per 1000 people, a 2.42% decline from 2021.
The birth rate for Russia in 2021 was 11.905 births per 1000 people, a 2.37% decline from 2020.
The birth rate for Russia in 2020 was 12.194 births per 1000 people, a 2.31% decline from 2019.

So the average decline is about 2.4% each year.

@helenS looking at the drivative of those values suggests a sharp drop in fertility. Not surprising when the kids are just being sent to wars to die.

@Tastyfrzz Yes exactly. Another huge problem is the high number of miscarriages as a result of horrible alcohol abuse, in the Russian paradise.
