In an effort to combat its declining birth rate and aging population, Changshan County in China's Zhejiang province—one of the country's wealthiest provinces—announced a cash reward for newlywed couples last week. It said a cash reward of 1,000 yuan ($138) would be given to couples if the bride is aged 25 or under, SCMP reported. The initiative is part of a series of measures aimed at incentivizing young people to marry and have children amid an intensifying demographic crisis.
