How do you see China's fertility rate falling year after year?
According to the data, the number of births in China from 17.86 million people in 2016, has been declining continuously, and by the time 2021 rolls around, the number of newborns born will only be 10.62 million people, just over 10 million people, while the number of deaths last year was 10.14 million people,the birth rate is just just greater than the death rate. From the published data on the birth rate of China's provinces in 2021, among the 29 provinces that have been published, we can know that the 10 provinces with the largest number of births are Guangdong, Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, Hebei, Anhui, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Hunan and Guizhou. And the latest data show that, including the largest number of births in Guangdong, provinces of the birth rate fell below 10 per thousand! According to experts, China will fully enter the deep aging society of more than 14% this year, and by 2033 China will enter the super-aging society of more than 20%, and the aging population will account for about 35% in 2060!? ♂? So why exactly is China's fertility rate dropping year after year? Let's take a look at it together!
?1 A gradual change in the mindset of young people?
Remember in my grandparents' time, it was common for each family to have four or five children, and now we obviously find more and more one-children. And with the changing attitudes of young people, many people look at not how many children, but the cost of raising a child. This will also lead to, in the future, the birth of newborns will be less and less, according to the projected number of newborns this year or next year will fall to less than 10 million people.
? Even if the elders in the family are constantly "urging marriage", "urging birth", but now the young people's willingness to give birth is still not high, I think the main reason is because the cost of educating children is too high. Especially in many ordinary families,, if you can't solve these two situations, then many people would rather not get married and not have children!
2 requirements for material conditions continue to rise
? Experts point out that housing prices are an important reason why young people do not want to get married and have children.
? The traditional thinking is that "starting a family" and "establishing a business" seem to be closely related. Then this time, as a marriage family necessities, the importance of the house is also in this moment to reflect the most. In order for children to receive better education resources, some parents will try to make money to buy school district housing, but the price of school district housing is very expensive, many families can not afford the high monthly mortgage, and afraid of their children do not get a good education, so they are not willing to have children.
? High housing prices are affecting all aspects of contemporary life all the time. Although the state has continuously introduced policies to regulate housing prices and strive for a steady decline in housing prices, it is still an indisputable reality that housing prices are not proportional to family income. Many young people spit, even the house can not handle, but also talk about what children.
3 The rising cost of childbearing
? In addition to the relatively high housing prices in China, another reason for the low fertility rate among young people is the high cost of trying to raise and nurture a child today.
As we all know, in this day and age, a child's development is not simply a matter of having enough to eat, now from the age of three years old, the requirements to be able to moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and laborious all-round development, and even some parents from the early age of the child enrolled in a variety of tutorials training courses, not only the tutorials, the child to raise an adult in all aspects of the cost is not low.
? So the rising cost of childbearing is really affecting our fertility rate to a large extent.
Overall, if you want China's fertility rate to increase you still need to constantly plan, work hard, and improve young people's desire to have children.
