In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the people at that time were conservative in their thinking and their pursuit of large numbers of people was powerful, so they all supported childbirth at that time. It was normal for a family to have several children. With the rapid development of the national economy, the living standards of the people have been greatly improved. At the same time, the rapid population growth has also brought many problems.
The demographic problem is grim
After all, resources are limited and the country faces many challenges on its way to prosperity, so at the end of the last century, the country implemented family planning. In this nearly 40 years, the trend of population growth has finally been effectively controlled. But later, the birth rate fell sharply. This has nothing to do with the family planning policy. Most people nowadays are unwilling to have children. Therefore, the country’s population structure is facing an aging population, but it is also facing a reduction in the labor force. The number of children born is low. This is extremely dangerous for the development of society. Take Japan, which is seriously aging. The country’s economy has remained unchanged for 20 consecutive years.
Is the opening of the third child effective?
In order to increase the birth rate of the population, since 2016, the country has successively opened the two-child and three-child policy. Although the population policy has been relaxed, the number of births has not increased. According to relevant data, the country’s birth population has decreased by 580,000 the year before, and last year it dropped by 2.45 million. These policies are mainly aimed at grassroots workers, and they have not taken positive actions toward the implementation of the policies, but have a negative attitude. Why is it a negative attitude? Bai Yansong expressed his opinion on this. If we only increase the population through the open three-child policy, it is still somewhat difficult to achieve it from the current situation. Compared with the two-child policy, the three-child policyNo effect. Because the root problem of the low birth rate is not having children, but not being able to afford it.
Why do people not want to have children?
First of all, as the times progress, people's concept of fertility has also improved. The era of equality between men and women is now advocated, and the status of women has also risen. Many women have become independent and self-reliant. Many people think that they can live well alone. The number of single women is increasing. Of course, the fertility rate is Can't get up.
Secondly, people's nurturing concept has also changed. In the past, people only emphasized food and clothing, but now they do not only emphasize food and clothing, but also the quality of life. The cost of children's education is also rising. From birth to graduation, it will cost a lot of money. After graduation, work, marriage, etc., are enough for parents to worry about.
Finally, the cost of childbirth for women is too high, especially in the current social environment. There has always been a tradition in China that men dominate outside and women dominate inside. Even though equality between men and women is now advocated, it is relative and not absolute. After giving birth, many families still bring their babies at home. If you have a second or third child, it is hard to say whether you can return to work. If no one is taking care of children, women have to give up their jobs to take care of the children. Bringing a baby full-time is not as simple as my mind thinks, only I know the ups and downs.
A breakthrough to solve the population problem
housing price issues. Nowadays, housing prices have always been high. Many young people see the current housing price market.Most people think that if they bought a house a few years earlier, they would have to buy a house even if they had a kidney. It is true that high housing prices are also one of the reasons why young people do not want to have children. According to relevant data, the increase in house prices is negatively correlated with people's desire to have children. For every 1,000 yuan increase in house prices, the willingness of young people to have one child will decrease by about 2.5%, and the willingness to have a second child will decrease by about 5.2%. Someone also laughed and said before that this house price is much better than the contraceptive effect of taking pills.
Some experts have also expressed their opinions on high housing prices. Even in small counties in the current third- and fourth-tier cities, housing prices are not low, and even the pockets of the previous generation must be emptied to make a down payment. After that, paying back the mortgage every month was a headache.
High housing prices have become one of the obstacles to young people’s love and marriage. For this reason, many young people will choose to "gnaw the old", but some people will still be willing to marry and have children late. .
has enough energy and time. Now, people pay more attention to science in the process of parenting. Each time has its own tasks and goals, rather than simply eating and sleeping as before. One child is not easy, let alone two or three. In addition, the child's food and clothing costs all cost money. If you have a second child and three children, maybe the family's financial pillar is only the father.
Women are unfair in the workplace. After giving birth, women's bodies will become weaker, and some people will still suffer from the root cause. Moreover, the current work pressure is very high, these female groups may still encounter unfair workplace treatment, and discrimination against women in the workplace will not be completely eliminated in a short period of time.
Conclusion
Population issues have always been of concern to the country and the people.However, the opening of the country’s third-children is only a superficial impetus, and no significant effect can be seen in a short period of time, and the elders can’t empathize. Only oneself knows the true thoughts. The problem of two children and three children is not sloppy and must be carefully considered. After all, a child is not finished in a lifetime.
