starting January, China implemented a new tax policy requiring a 13% sales tax on contraceptive products. This measure aims to influence reproductive choices and manage demographic trends. Simultaneously, the government has exempted childcare services from taxation, encouraging families to have more children by reducing associated costs. The tax on contraceptives increases the economic price for consumers, potentially affecting purchasing behaviors, while the exemption on childcare aims to reduce financial barriers for families considering additional children. These contrasting policies reflect an approach to demographic management through economic measures. The overall goal appears to be balancing population growth with sustainable resource allocation, although their effectiveness remains subject to ongoing evaluation. Japanese and South Korean policy responses similarly involve balancing incentives for family growth with economic considerations. This approach underscores a broader strategy where fiscal policies are used to influence demographic trends within the country.
