The second child did not work well, and the third child was introduced to remedy it. Why is the country so urgent for people to have children?

In the last century, after the founding of New China, China's population began to grow rapidly. At that time, every family generally had four or five children. In the 1980s, seeing the trend of population explosion, the country began to implement family planning. This is the longest implementation of family planning in our country. It was not completely stopped in 2016. It was also in the same year that the country formulated a second child. Policy, the number of newborns has increased in a short period of time, but it was only a short-term change, and then ushered in a decline. Some time ago, the latest census data was released, the proportion of newborns was pitifully small, and the country changed its fertility policy. The second child did not work well, and the third child was introduced to remedy it. Why is the country so urgent for people to have children?

If the current population structure is maintained, the population of our country will drop sharply

Population is an important factor in the development of a country, and it also determines the competitiveness of a country. The opening of the second-child policy in 2016 is because our country has already entered the aging period at that time. It is necessary to increase the number of newborns and adjust the imbalanced population ratio. However, this birth plan has only partially worked, and the population has not even increased across the country, but has decreased. In the next few years, the population has not increased but decreased, which has to arouse the attention of the country.

The real reason for the birth

Current economists are most anxious. In their view, if the current population structure remains unchanged, it can be used by the country in the next few years The labor force will drop sharply. The number of newborns is decreasing. The number of elderly over 60 has reached 260 million this year. According to this state, the population will be reduced by 8 million every year. When a country, young people are no longer the backbone,Then the future development of this country is bound to be affected. Without the available labor force, the manufacturing industry will lack vitality, and China's current hot industries will also experience severe shortages. In addition, there will be major problems in the distribution of pensions. The proportion of the elderly continues to rise, but the proportion of young people is decreasing. The social security paid by young people is helping the current elderly maintain their lives. This requires a balance. If the number of old people is much higher than that of young people, then the pension system will collapse sooner or later.

Why are young people unwilling to have a second child?

Because the nature of the child has changed a long time ago. In previous years, raising children was very simple and a kind of inheritance. But now it's different. Many parents treat their children as a precious commodity and have injected a lot of investment from the beginning. These parents don't expect their children to help them in the old age and provide them with emotional support. They just hope that their children can gain a firm foothold in society. If you look at it from this perspective, most people will have such an idea to control the number of children and provide better training for children.

Since 2016, the two-child policy has been officially opened. Some parents responded to this policy. In 2016, the population increased, increasing by 1.31 million in total, but the main one was one-child families. Make a contribution. Immediately afterwards, this policy became invalid. If you ask these young people, why don’t you continue to implement this policy? These young people are also very distressed. In their view, raising a child is already very painful, and raising another child is simply unrealistic.

First of all, raising a child requires a lot of financial expenditure. Before going to school, these children need to be looked after by someone, otherwise it will affect the work of their parents. After going to school,The problem of education needs to be solved. In order for their children to receive a high-quality education, some parents even buy a house specifically to help their children settle in the city.

Furthermore, from the perspective of women, fertility is inherently painful. Although many women can maintain their jobs after giving birth, they still need to take care of their children. After being busy outside and at home, this makes women feel distressed. Therefore, in order to better develop, women will specifically avoid having children.

Finally, there is a more important reason, that is, high housing prices. The house is the foundation of a family's life. The house not only provides a shelter for the family from the wind and rain, but also has a close relationship with many policies. For example, in first-tier cities, children want to go to school, if they are migrant workers, they need to help their children apply for hukou, and some cities will require them to own a house in the local area. However, high housing prices are very persuasive. At present, the average housing price has reached 11,000 yuan per square meter. It is no wonder that young people's enthusiasm for childbirth is getting lower and lower.

Is there a solution?

Naturally, there are solutions. If we really want everyone to respond to the three-child policy, these issues must be resolved. First of all, we must reduce the education costs of parents. At present, children spend a lot of money on their parents just to go to school. Although the country has exempted the cost of compulsory education, the real education expenditure is spent outside the school, and parents need to apply for various special classes and tutoring classes for their children. Second, we must help women solve employment problems. Even today, women often encounter these problems when they are employed. Once a child is born, many women have little room for improvement even if they stay in the company. Some companies are even more excessive and will dismiss women directly. Such an approach is extremely unreasonable, and corresponding laws are needed to protect the rights of these women. Third, give birth rewards to families with multiple births. Everyone’s biggest problem is still lack of money.It is better to solve the problem from this aspect, and one more child has an extra subsidy to help these two-child or three-child families solve the financial burden.
