People's Daily Minsheng Weekly published an article titled "Cover Report 丨 ShengWa! State Encouragement", which caused a heated discussion among everyone.
The mainland's birth population in recent years has become an indisputable fact, the net population growth in 2021 is only 480,000 people, according to relevant statistics, the mainland male population has shown negative growth, which is the country's birth data after the opening of the two-child, three-child policy.
People are actually not reluctant to have children, I think on the contrary, everyone loves children more, and wants their children to have a better future than themselves, so everyone is more and more cautious about having children.
If we look back at the years when our country had the largest number of births, in fact, everyone lived a hard life, eating, drinking, wearing, living, education, and medical care were all inferior to today, but everyone was still willing to have more children.
So I think that everyone does not have children because of how bad the current living conditions are, how much pressure there is, and then bitter, suffering from the generation after 60 and 70?
The real reason is that our definition of a good life is getting higher and higher, and our requirements for life and children are getting higher and higher. In the new era, there are new difficulties and troubles, and the economic burden of having children, age and marriage, and how to balance work and family have become factors that we have to think about and deal with carefully.
Times have changed, concepts have changed, and the concept of having children and passing on generations is no longer so sought after by young people, who think that living well and realizing their own value is the first.
