Quick takeaways
- The decrease in the number of kindergartens in China is a result of changing demographic trends and natural selection in the market.
- Consolidation and restructuring of kindergartens can improve education quality by reducing class sizes, but efforts should be made to ensure job security for teachers and standardized education in non-profit kindergartens.

Decrease in Number of Kindergartens in China
The number of kindergartens in China has experienced a decrease for the first time in a decade. In 2022, there were around 290 kindergartens, marking a decline of 1.9% compared to the previous year. This decrease is attributed to factors such as a decline in birth rates and natural selection in the market. However, this decline in numbers should not be seen as a major problem, as it is a result of the changing demographic trends. Similar patterns have been observed in other countries as well.
