Why do more and more people born in the 1990s and 2000s not want to get married or have children?
I think the main reason is that the cost of survival for a person is too high
The cost of survival for a person mainly includes: food, accommodation, transportation, study
For most people, one person’s income is actually enough to support themselves. When spending money indiscriminately, no one will worry about not having food to eat or a place to live.
If it is because of these worries, it is most likely that it is a young person who has just entered the society. It is normal to start from 0 with nothing at the beginning. This is normal.
If you want to improve your quality of life while supporting yourself, you may need to work harder.
Most people can actually achieve these things with hard work.
But if you need to use your own income to support another child, it may be difficult.
Because in addition to the financial cost, raising children also requires time to take care of them. Raising children
Most people just exchange their own time for money. Raising children requires taking care of them, and taking care of children means that their own time needs to be reduced.
If you can't reduce your working time, you have to find it from leisure and entertainment time.
This means that if you want to raise a child without reducing your income, you need to use your spare time to take care of the child.
People are not machines after all, they also need to rest and relax. If they cannot relax when they relax, then they must be tired.
Unless someone helps you take care of the child (partner, parent, nanny, kindergarten teacher)
Raising a child requires a labor force to give up its own production value to take care of the child
This is not difficult for families with good conditions. It costs money It can solve many problems.
But it is very tiring for ordinary people.
At the same time, the cost of accommodation is very high, especially for families who have not owned real estate before.
For a person in his twenties to spend hundreds of thousands or millions to purchase accommodation space, unless you are an elite, it is impossible for normal people, and you need financial support from your family.
In fact, many people don’t want to cause trouble to their parents. Parents have worked hard all their lives and used their savings to buy accommodation for themselves, which is unbearable.
That is, you have to have children after getting married, and you have to raise and take care of the children. The money for milk powder, the food and clothing issues for him to go to school, and all the other aspects make me scared just thinking about it, ugh!
