China, it’s time for ‘the talk’: sex education urged for children as adults balk at babies

To reverse a worrisome trend of deaths outpacing births in China, central authorities are being urged to look beyond merely trying to convince adults to procreate – the attention, leaders are now being told, should be on educating children.

A top political adviser and leading demographer has proposed that China take action to protect fertility from the earliest stages of a person’s development, by making sexual-health education mandatory for school kids amid a demographic crisis that has far-reaching social and economic ramifications.

“The earlier we educate young people about reproductive health, the better we can protect their future fertility,” said He Dan, director of the China Population and Development Research Centre, a Beijing-based think tank, during the annual “two sessions” parliamentary gatherings in Beijing.

Her call came as the central government said it was planning to subsidise families with children later this year – the first pledge of the kind at the national level, despite subsidies being offered by many local governments in recent years.

He, who is also a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said taking more steps to safeguard the population’s fertility will “directly affect the final number of children a couple has”.
