One of them is the pressure of our survival. If more children are born, in our country, the elderly can go to work when their children are three or four months old if they are in good health and can help with the children. If the old man is not a child, and the age of the children will not be a big difference, then the third generation will be very close to each other, then the old man does not have the energy to give all the children to take care of the children. Let's take our organization as an example. For those who have many siblings, the in-laws work together, with the father-in-law picking up the older children from school and the mother-in-law staying home to take care of the younger ones, and both generations are busy. If the daughter-in-law stays at home full-time with the children, nowadays families usually have home and car loans, daily living expenses, favors, children enrolled in interest classes, and so on, if one person earns money, the pressure will be great. If you want to have a child, from pregnancy to the child to go to kindergarten at least two or three years delay, and when the child is sent to kindergarten, and then back to the workplace , the level of competitiveness of their own greatly reduced, everything has to start from scratch.
Secondly, with the improvement of people's culture and education level, many women do not want to treat childbirth as an obligation. They pursue their own state of life. In the workplace, trying to improve their business level, leisure Travel , health , leisure. Do not want to be like the previous women around the family, but have a sense of independent self.
So, I conclude that the reason for the decreasing birth rate should be that the global economic level of competition is fierce, squeezing people's living space, people's spiritual and material requirements are increasing, so they do not want to raise children.
I think, first of all, in the childbearing age and suitable for the birth of a second child group most of the family planning period of birth of an only child, for this part of the population to face the four two one camp, that is, above the four old people below a child. If the elderly are healthy enough once one of the health problems as children will have a great deal of trouble, but also to face the career and care for the child this is a problem that is bound to arise.
Secondly, from the work, now at the institution of civil servants can have a relatively stable income, work time is also relatively normal basically can be done outside of nine to five, for most people to face is the mode of 996, there is unstable work status, after all, with the current economic situation as a whole look at the whole of the big business are facing a crisis, and the easiest way for enterprises to solve the crisis is to Reduce costs, then employees will face the risk of lower wages or unemployment. So in this regard, people are bound to have concerns. The most important thing is that you have to be careful when choosing between a career and a child.
Then there is the child's education, health care, these two aspects are also the most important for a family. With the increase in employment pressure, resulting in the entire educational environment is showing involution, parents want their children to have a good future, so from the beginning of the early childhood has been into a very serious competition. All kinds of training courses and tutorial classes have become the biggest financial expenditure of every family. Even some middle-class people are under pressure when they have to face the expenses on their children's education. Nowadays, it is difficult to see a doctor, it is difficult to register, the medical cost is high, and the good medical resources are too concentrated in the big cities, which will invariably increase the medical-related expenses. These are also unavoidable.
The above is just my simple understanding, but in reality, there are many other difficulties that arise from these reasons, and they cannot be solved overnight, so the solution to the problem of low fertility is to rely only on the opening up of birth control, which is a far cry from a solution.
The birth rate is getting lower and lower, the root cause of this phenomenon is that the pressure of life is too great, two people's wages to raise a child need to be home to help, but also often worry about career issues, not to mention in the more to raise a child is really can not afford to support.
I remember when we were young, each family has five or six children, and only one person's salary can also support a large family, that time wages are not high, prices are stable, the gap between rich and poor is not big, the people basically can afford to buy daily necessities, there was no layoffs and unemployed, basically after graduating from school will have a job, each family does not have to buy a house, live in a unit of the dormitory, work in the same yard, and the family will be able to afford to buy a house, but also to buy a house and live in the same yard. The family lived in a unit dormitory and worked in the same courtyard, which made commuting to and from work very convenient and fast, and the unit had a cafeteria. Although there is no material richness of life now, but live a very happy and happy.
Poor! Fourth-line and the following cities, the average youth monthly salary of about 3,000, even if all of them are used to raise children, are not enough.
The pressure of life is too much is the main reason, one of the main childbearing age group are now most of the only child in the future not only to take care of both parents and may have to take care of their grandparents are not able to do so, the society is highly competitive in the pressure on the people's new three mountains of housing, health care, education, the high cost of people have let people can not breathe to the heart, to have a second child on the heart, unable to do so, if you solve the problem of housing, health care and education, then the second child is not a problem, it is not a problem. If the housing, health care and education problems are solved, then the second child will not be a problem.
Raising children is costly, expensive, and affects the quality of life!
The pressure is high and it is difficult to earn money. Now have a child is almost, more now social phenomenon of pressure, who still dare to want to give birth to oh! Many people want to give birth, but can not afford ah. The country wants a breakthrough in the birth rate, there must be something substantial to see the effect.
Recently, some experts have called for the opening of the "three children", the root cause is the birth rate of newborns is getting lower and lower. We all know the main reasons for this phenomenon.
First of all, the pressure of life, due to the material needs and spiritual needs of the reasons, two people to form a family, many require a house, car, (deposit) folders, but in the last parents have several children, parents are difficult to do everything. So two new people to get married to take on a mortgage, car loans, it is difficult to save money, so that even childbirth lags behind.
Second, the cost of raising children, from pregnancy to childbirth, and then to the growth of small children, school, a variety of training courses, etc., to raise a child to the age of twenty-something graduated from the university, to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars in costs, most young people nowadays do not have much savings each year, raising a child is already enough to be tired, and then cultivate a not necessarily willing to.
Third, the development of society, the status of women continue to rise. In the old days, women thought of teaching their children, modern women are given the opportunity of higher education, are more independent, no longer waiting to marry the chicken followed the chicken married dog followed the dog, they have their own dreams. But women's own physiological structure so that some women do not dare to give birth to a child, because of the accident of giving birth to a child this year and a half with this society out of touch.
In any case, there are various reasons, family has a difficult time reading the scripture, social development, people's mindset is changing, but the population is related to the country's succession, the national government to pay attention to, most young people now after the family planning that era, the pressure of life is too much, married to take care of a few old people, but also to face the current high prices, high levels of consumption.
Essentially the development of productive forces, so that people think that no children not only can be young and live more dashing, the old also have a pension pension. A few old men and women a piece of tourism, playing mahjong, square dancing, seem to be more than with grandchildren cozy.
So the developed countries generally less birth. Europe and the United States to give birth to more than either a sectarian immigrants, do not work and do not care about the education, birth of ten or eight can also receive more social subsidies.
This is why there are fewer children in the developed world.
Then, the question arises.
So, the question is, why is East Asia less developed than Europe and the United States, but fewer people are having babies? Is it because high prices are the best contraceptive? Or is it because there is less land and more people and fewer resources leading to too much fatigue? Or is it because the Confucian cultural tradition of hard work and placing too much emphasis on education has made everyone even more tired since entering modernization? Or is it because Europe and the United States are dominating the most lucrative parts of the world's major industrial chains, making East Asia implode? I can't answer, I hope some friends can teach
First, the house price factor
The house price has become the best contraceptive medicine for young people. The rate of increase in wages is far lower than the rate of increase in house prices. Without buildings, it is difficult for young people to find a partner, not to mention having children, which is a real problem in our society. Young people to the age of marriage, the family or rely on their own "scrape together", to buy a house to pay a down payment, and then "two children" have become "house slaves". China's property market, a "strange circle", a good point of the location, the basic building will be opened, will be snapped up, which led to China's high prices.
Second, the cost of child support factors
The high prices of housing, excessive work pressure, the pace of life accelerated, so that young people's ideology has undergone a fundamental change. The cost of raising children will skyrocket from the past spell quantity to the present spell quality mode, leading to a reduction in the number of children, so that raising children has become a luxury, not everyone can afford to play.
Third, the wider the gap between the rich and the poor, the pressure of social competition
The more people are afraid of being "eliminated" by society, the stronger the comparison, on the one hand, the more time and energy they will invest in competing for example, working overtime to earn more overtime, so that there is no time to raise children; on the other hand, people are also worried about giving birth to more than one child education. On the other hand, people are also worried that if they have more children, their education and other resources will be shared among more than one child, and the average will be less, which will make the children "lose at the starting line" and make them even more afraid to have more children
Fourthly, as women's status improves, they will play more important roles in society, and they will have more and more choices of work, and more women will devote themselves to their own careers, which will have a certain impact on their careers, so the fertility rate will be lower. The birth rate will be lower as a result of this.
