Macau’s birth rate is declining and the city is entering the stage of an ageing society, chief executive candidate Ho Iat Seng said yesterday, adding that to increase the birth rate is a kind of social responsibility.
Ho attended a Q&A session with representatives from the city’s woman’s association yesterday afternoon. The meeting at the headquarters of the Women’s General Association of Macau (known in Cantonese as Fu Luen) in Rua do Campo was attended by 250 participants.
Over a dozen participants asked Ho questions during the meeting focusing on issues such as elderly medical care, women’s rights, housing, the birth rate, and public governance.
