【天門(中国)】中国中部に位置する湖北省天門市は昨年前半、より多くの子どもを持つことを市民に奨励するため多額の報奨金の支給を開始した。支給額は子どもが2人目の場合は最大で約1万3000ドル(約190万円)、3人目は2万3000ドルだ。昨年1年間で同市の出生数は17%増加した。 中国当局は、指導部がまさに全国に期待しているベビーブームをつくった模範として、天門を挙げている。しかしこの出生増が潤沢な報奨金の成果か、他の要因によるものかははっきりしない。女性の中には、より多くの子どもを持つかどうかを考えるのに、出産報奨金はほとんど関係ないと話す人もいる。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

在这个华东出口集散地的全球最大批发市场,美国客户已经不见了踪影。过去,美国人或他们的代表经常来这里购买各种商品,包括汪汪队立大功(Paw Patrol)毛绒玩具、巴拿马草帽,还有玩具狙击步枪等。这里知名的义乌市场拥有7.5万个商户,面积超过1000个美式足球场;没有哪个地方会卖这么多、这么便宜的商品,几十年来,这里的很大一部分商品都卖给了需求巨大的美国消费者。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

去年年初,华中这座宁静的城市开始为生育更多孩子的夫妇提供丰厚的现金奖励,二孩家庭最高可获得约1.3万美元(人民币9.63万元)奖金,三孩家庭最高可获得约2.3万美元(人民币16.51万元)。该市全年新生儿数量激增17%。中国有关部门一直将天门作为标杆,认为该市实现了领导人希望在全国范围内看到的婴儿潮。但目前尚不清楚新生儿数量的增长是巨额补贴的结果,还是其他因素使然。一些女性表示,生育补贴对于她们是否生育更多子女的决定几乎没什么影响。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
