Guangdong Province has maintained its status as China’s top fertility region, surpassing 1 million births in 2025. The province accounts for a massive portion of the nation's young, reproductive-age population, with a "fertility floor" supported by both cultural tradition and the "cross-provincial" marriage registration pilot.

In a positive counter-trend, new data shows a significant rebound in marriage registrations across major Chinese cities (including Beijing and Shanghai) following the easing of registration regulations in late 2025.
