The Family Planning Association of Hong Kong released a study yesterday that blamed the territory's low birth (1,285 births for every 1,000 women in 2012) on local women's "low sex drive."
In a FPAHK poll, six in 10 women aged 21 to 40 reported at least one "sexual problem" and 400 out of a total of 2,100 said that they had no sexual desire and had arousal problems, with 500 not having orgasms and 430 experiencing pain during sex.
It's just a shame the government-funded body didn't take into consideration other potential reasons for people's reluctance to reproduce, like astronomical property prices that make family-sized flats unattainable to many, oversubscribed and exorbitantly expensive schools, deteriorating air quality, hospital waiting times that only get longer and a bleak political future that is already prompting many to take their families elsewhere.
Instead of redressing any of those problems, they've instead decided to blame women for not wanting it enough. That's constructive.
