"But this year's fertility rate should improve significantly. The calamity has lasted for two years, and the desire for ordinary people to have children has actually strengthened a lot.
"Our analysis suggests that this situation is somewhat similar to civilians being more willing to have children after the end of a war. Great Xia's response to the calamity has been outstanding, and ordinary people have gained confidence in the future.
"Coupled with the stimulation of the 'Population Bill,' the willingness to have children has reached a peak not seen for the last hundred years. Judging from the filing situation in domestic hospitals, we estimate that the number of births this year will be between 24 million and 25 million."
Yang Fan nodded gently.
This figure has already surpassed the period before the Age of Calamity, which is enough to declare that Great Xia has already overcome the crisis.
