Some scholars have made statistics on the Chinese data after 20 years through the article "2020-2022, the inflection point of the Chinese population", if the newborn birth rate maintains a continuous downward trend, after 2041, the decline rate of Chinese population will become the fastest country, after 2050, the annual birth population will drop to less than 3 million, and the death population will reach more than 25 million, without one, the death data will be 10 times the newborn population, what a terrible number.
Theories about the reasons for the new generation of young people who are unmarried and infertile are hotly debated all the time: there is a freedom to say, the family of origin says, and economic pressure says that no matter which kind of young people are finally dubbed the "self-indulgent generation".
Prejudices such as "the only child is spoiled and habitual", "the ability to resist pressure is not good, there is no fighting spirit", "it is a beat generation, a generation without value" and other prejudices have become the pot carried by the new generation of post-90s and post-00s.
Frequent unemployment, work setbacks and even make many young people themselves begin to doubt themselves, questioning the struggle of their more than ten years of study career - are they really a beat generation?
Let's first look at a set of data, the "China National Mental Health Development Report (2019-2020)", in the epidemic period of 2020: the detection rate of depression among Chinese adolescents was 24.6%, of which mild depression was 17.2% and severe depression was 7.4%. The detection rate of major depression in high school is 10.9% to 12.5%.
Equivalent to one in every ten high school students with severe depression, not to mention the decline in physical fitness, the hard core of psychological quality has long lagged behind the post-70s and post-80s.
Next, we will analyze how psychological problems arise from the education system and affect the concept of marriage and career of contemporary young people.
Wen Tiejun, a second-level post professor at Chinese Min University, has mentioned that the focus of the education system is still on undergraduate education and higher education, and the abolition of vocational education has indirectly affected the concept of employment and marriage of contemporary young people. In this regard, the huge loopholes under Chinese-style education have created the "Beat" post-90s and post-00s.
The number of vocational education and colleges has been continuously reduced in the past seven years, because people have always had great discrimination against vocational education, parents and teachers always say: if you can't afford to go to school, you can only read secondary schools and technical schools, therefore, everyone wants to improve their academic qualifications as much as possible, completely do not play the advantages of students' personality, take advantage of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and scores become the only standard to measure children's "ability".
The slogan of quality education for the whole people has been shouting, however, the implementation of the difficulty is very huge, can not change the status quo, this is the first pit that affects the struggle of contemporary young people, first of all, the beginning of the small ascension, the initial increase in the learning pressure is successively increasing, the average admission rate of ordinary high schools in most provinces is about 65%, and concentrated in large cities, some small cities and regions of the general high admission rate is only about 55%, relatively poor families put their future hopes on the children's transcripts of various subjects.
Wait for the second stage of the university to come, the university stage is to consider the students' so-called "fighting spirit" and "self-willpower" of the important stage" and this stage is affected by the middle and high school, the degree of planning and effort of the university directly determines the degree of "lying flat" after graduation, on June 7, 2021, Bai Yansong criticized contemporary young people for working flat, self-release, and no fighting spirit.
Young people's desire for pleasure, unmarried and infertile, are all related to the "two pits" under Chinese education? The answer is obvious, in fact, instead of criticizing the results, it is better to directly rectify the status quo of college students " lying flat " , originally this stage should be an important stage for students to explore themselves, the ways and methods of vocational education may still have a way out, but a large number of master's and doctoral degrees graduated from the discipline of the brainwashing, all kinds of exercises and work pressure, began to torture children whose minds are not yet mature.
Perhaps since elementary school, our values have been distorted, everything is around values and interests to seek a good job, and the popular majors in colleges have always been market-oriented.
Therefore, students strive to take the "finance, computer" graduate and doctoral, in addition to some particularly good 985.211 at the same time to the education of the market and personality training as the orientation, in order to cater to undergraduate education, most of the rising colleges and universities just went through the middle and high school academic qualifications only, ignoring the last golden stage of personality training in the university.
Wait until born in the society, the third pit will come, most of the high-quality jobs are saturated by graduate students and doctors, ordinary undergraduates either have a skill, or can only take a small salary, the number of 10.76 million college graduates in 2022 has reached a new high, not only is it "difficult to find employment" and the current "difficult to recruit" problem, there are so many college graduates who want to go to the position can not go, manufacturing companies want to recruit technical talents can not be recruited, especially the gap of high-skilled talents is very large, the unemployment rate is rising, and even in the takeaway industry and the express delivery industry The "volume" was up, among which there were a large number of undergraduate and graduate students.
The words "work is difficult, the salary is too low" always surrounds our ears, and thus the phenomenon of lying flat appears, and the ensuing concept of love and fertility concept begins to torment young people who are physically mature but immature in heart.
So some people began to accuse in a grandiose voice: Continue to fight, shouldn't young people have vitality? However, a person's willpower is limited, and "lying flat" is a group generalization phenomenon of "learned helplessness" from a psychological point of view, and the most typical manifestation is the exhaustion of willpower.
A person with a large number of failures and lack of independent personality is most likely to "lie flat", this failure is mainly manifested as a one-sided failure of scores, the failure of academic promotion, or the failure of personal emotion, willpower and motivation are not the same, causing willpower loss of five factors: effort, perception difficulty, negative emotions, subjective fatigue and blood sugar levels, and motivation comes from the sense of target direction after personality independence.
Maybe neither of them can be well obtained from the existing education system, so what is the significance of our 16 years of school life?
The two-child, three-child policy has no impact on the new generation of young people at all. The reason for this is that the vicious circle of education has become a heavy burden on young parents, which not only seriously affects the confidence of young parents to have a second and third child, but even makes them have the idea of Dink, affecting the rest of the consumption of young parents.
Personal, family, school and social problems, which are led by children's education problems, have gradually evolved into a series of existing demographic and social problems.
Therefore, only the change of the education system can truly and fundamentally save a new generation of young people, the anxiety and fear of contemporary young people have actually planted seeds at a very young age, no snowflake is innocent when the avalanche occurs, and personal psychological problems eventually constitute group psychological problems, which must be buried for decades before they are gradually exposed.
A person's success is inseparable from three major elements: their own efforts, a good environment, and a good teacher.
Perhaps, contemporary young people have achieved the first point, and the rest needs to rely on the system and the general environment to help them go to a higher level, rather than becoming a stumbling block on the road to the perfection of their personality.
