The fact that the Northeast is economically underdeveloped is by no means a common or major reason why Northeasterners are reluctant to have a second child. Like the southern region of the family economy is not good, is not the same as the birth of seven or eight children. If you look into the deep-seated reasons why people in the northeast are reluctant to have a second child, there should be the following three summarized.
One, the reason for immigration
The vast majority of people in Northeast China are immigrants from Guannei, where there is no longer any ancestral graves, genealogy and clan halls and whatnot, especially the continuation of the young people can only remember the clan below the generation of grandparents, and even ancestry above the grandfather knows nothing about it, so there is no idea of what to pass on to the next generation and the family thriving concepts. Because they are all immigrants, there is no question of who jokes about who is cut off from their grandchildren.
So the birth of boys and girls are the same, will not give birth to a son more children, and even have one also like to give birth to a girl. Also because of immigration, there are also many less traditional ideas, such as the view of the daughter as a splash of water. In the northeast, there is no daughter married to become a person of another family, in fact, the northeast girls married, basically set up their own small family gateway, master of the family power, will never become the in-laws pointing out the small daughter-in-law, but the mother's family is very beneficial. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Two, cultural reasons
The Northeast has the largest number of schools, per capita literacy in the country. The reason, one is that the early years were ruled for decades by the Japanese and the Northeast King Zhang Zuolin, who both attached great importance to culture and education, and ran a lot of schools. Second, the northeast is the country's earliest liberation of the region, then gathered a lot of talent, but also the establishment of a lot of schools, so that more people by the cultural popularization.
Because of the acceptance of advanced culture, the traditional concept of feudalism is relatively indifferent, self and freedom of consciousness is relatively strong, not willing to sacrifice their own happiness for more children. This can be seen from the online video, the Northeast people what karaoke, anchor, travel, party, barbecue, square dance, etc., live a very self-centered and dashing, very few people stay at home to raise children.
Three, the reason for the system
In the northeast, because of the economic system, the need to raise children is not urgent. As I said earlier, the Northeast was the earliest to be liberated, and it became the base and economic base of new China. The main economic resources and enterprises are mostly concentrated in the Northeast, such as numerous state-owned enterprises, so the Northeast has a high rate of urbanization, and there are a lot of state-owned enterprise workers.
