Examining China’s Total Fertility Rate
This cross-collaborative report between Conflict and Security and China Watch provides a broad overview of the challenges and internal security risks China will face in the coming decades due to its declining total fertility rate (TFR).

Given this background, key social, economic, and political domestic risks heightened by China’s declining TFR are explored, with a focus also on potential international ramifications as well.
