🇨🇳 CHINA’S KINDERGARTEN CRASH REVEALS BIRTH RATE COLLAPSE
Preschools across China are shutting down.
Enrollment has plunged 25% in just four years.
That’s 12 million fewer children in kindergartens since 2020.
Nearly 42,000 facilities have closed.
The cause: a historic crash in births, following decades of one-child policy and accelerating population decline since 2021.
Some owners are converting classrooms into nursing homes.
One school in Jinhua shrank from 270 kids to 42 beds for elderly residents.
Even with recent birth upticks, the trend is baked in.
The education system, once booming, is now overbuilt and outpaced by a greying population.
