China population declined for the 4th consecutive year in 2025 to 1.405 billion. Working age population (16-59) now at 845 million, down 35 million from 2020. Economic implications: (1) GDP drag: demographic dividend subtraction of -0.5% to -0.8% GDP growth annually (2) Labor cost: manufacturing wages up 8% YoY, accelerating automation and offshoring to SEA (3) Pension: 3.1 contributors per retiree in 2025, projected to fall to 1.8 by 2035 (vs 2.5 in US, 2.0 in Japan). Policy response: (1) Retirement age raised to 63 (men) and 58 (women) effective 2027 (2) Child subsidy program expanded to 50,000 yuan per child in first 3 years (3) Immigration pilot: 5-year residence visas for skilled foreign workers in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen. The problem: fertility rate at 1.02 even after incentives, suggesting cultural shift (urbanization, education cost, gender norms) that money cannot easily reverse.
