In mainland families, the cost of child-rearing accounts for a considerable part, and the cost of children from milk powder and diapers when they are young to education when they grow up is a considerable expense for families. The length of time a child grows up can also have an impact on both parents' careers. So, how much asset does a family need to raise a child well, or how much does it take to pay a monthly salary to afford the basic costs of a child?
An authoritative institution on the mainland has divided the income of mainland families into 10 grades through surveys, and in this scale, the lowest level is the first level, and the annual household income is within 10,000 yuan, which can be said that this income level is very low. Then increase in turn, the fifth and sixth grades in the middle of the annual income of 15-800,000 and 80-1 million, in the fifth grade of the span is so large, it shows from the side that most of us are actually in this range. The sixth level of 80-1 million levels, this income has exceeded most of the families. Further up the level already belongs to the rich family, especially the tenth level, the family's income has reached the level of 10 million, in fact, the level of family income of this kind of huge wealth is already a rare existence.
Then combined with the report issued by CICC on the 10 levels of the mainland's monthly wages, the group with a monthly income of 0 and the group with a monthly income of less than 3,000 yuan will not be discussed for the time being, and the group with a monthly income of 3,000-5,000 yuan has 156.95 million people, the monthly income of 5,000-10,000 yuan has 63.28 million yuan, the group with a monthly income of 10,000-20,000 yuan has 7.84 million people, and the group with a monthly income of more than 200 million yuan will not be discussed for the time being. The overall data can be concluded that there are 1,328.24 million people in the group with a monthly income of less than 5,000 yuan, accounting for 94.87% of the total population, which means that if your monthly income is more than 5,000 yuan, it has exceeded nearly 95% of the Chinese people. If this data is compared with the total household income, the vast majority of households on the mainland have not reached the fifth level of total income.
For a kind of statement on the Internet that only if the family's annual income level reaches the sixth level, it can raise a second child without any pressure, which is actually biased. The state has introduced a variety of policies to minimize the cost of raising children, last year's "double reduction" policy has been in the children's education of various expenditures to families down, and, at the time of the two sessions, there are also experts suggested that the three-year education of children's kindergartens will also be included in the scope of the national compulsory education stage, while planning to include infant milk powder into the national overall plan, although these policies are only in the discussion and analysis stage, but also see the determination of the country, Let families willing to have a second or third child have as little economic worries as possible, and cannot give up raising children because of simple economic difficulties.
Some experts suggest that families willing to have a second or third child should be given a huge housing subsidy or a huge cash subsidy directly given to them, hoping that with the help of huge bonuses, they can not be stingy about the parenting of their children because of economic problems.
Although the cost of raising children accounts for a large part of family expenses, in the last century, when the overall economic level of our country was still very low, there was no imagination of a low birth rate, so in the final analysis, it is still necessary to change our thinking, not to regard children as a burden on the family, but to regard children as the hope of the family.
