He Suohuan, a writer of sexual affective psychology, writes love stories, interesting strangers, and material knowledge.

"Negative population growth" for the first time in 61 years: what does it mean that young people are reluctant to have children?

The National Bureau of Statistics released the latest data and was on the hot search:

In 2022, the number of births was 9.56 million, the first time since 1950 that the number of births fell below 10 million.

In other words:

Today's people are less and less willing to have children; At least for some time, this figure won't change much.

"Negative population growth" for the first time in 61 years: what does it mean that young people are reluctant to have children?

Look at another hot search: the population decreased by 850,000.

According to data in the news, this is the first time in 61 years that the population has experienced negative growth.

There are fewer and fewer people having children, and more and more elderly people, gradually aging.

The more the elderly die, the fewer people are born, and the population naturally becomes negative growth.

"Negative population growth" for the first time in 61 years: what does it mean that young people are reluctant to have children?

Why are people reluctant to have children now?

What does this mean and what are the reasons?

-01

"More men than women", the number of women of appropriate age to give birth has decreased

This is one of the main factors.

Saw the latest data online:

There are 32.37 million more men than women.

What signals are revealed behind this data?

First: It will be more and more difficult for men to get married

In other words, single men will only increase, because in the environment of more men than women, no matter how you choose, there will be a group of men "left".

Even if you want to get married and have children, your own competitiveness is not enough in the marriage market, and you will eventually become the eliminated people.

Second: marriageability, lower for women of childbearing age

Women themselves are more than 30 million fewer than men, and the number of women is less than men in the age group suitable for marriage and having children.

From this data, fewer women have children, or women are less willing to have children.

Today's people, the concept of fertility has changed significantly

For people of the forties and fifties, the older generation, which family is not all a few children to start with?

For post-70s people, many families are basically "only children".

It was not until the second and third children were released that it was found that young people were reluctant to have children.

And those who have children are basically the 80s and some people who want a second child with a tail in the 70s.

Saw a set of data online:

The age of childbearing for women has risen to 29.

In other words: women of childbearing age for the first time are basically born around 1993.

What does this mean?

Young people do not want to give birth and the willingness to have children decreases.

Those who want to have children are hesitating and waiting.

"Negative population growth" for the first time in 61 years: what does it mean that young people are reluctant to have children?

In fact, this point can be analyzed by comparison with young people's views on marriage and love.

The single population has exceeded 200 million, in which, how many marriageable but single people are there?

Love and marriage are unwilling, how can young people choose to have children again?

They prefer to live a life of "freedom, uninhibited, and less stress".

The cost of having children and raising them is too high

Let's do the math like this:

Young people get married, counting from the time the woman is pregnant.

The cost of various examinations during pregnancy and the cost of giving birth to a child are normally around 15,000.

After the birth of the child, confinement sister-in-law, monthly milk powder diapers, various expenses of the child.

After the age of 3, children's kindergartens, various interest classes, are calculated at an average of 20,000 a year.

This is not counting the usual children's toys, early education, books, life, etc.

In other words, after giving birth, your annual expenditure on children is almost 20,000-30,000.

Plus family expenses, expenses between husband and wife.

In this way, the pressure is not ordinarily great.

"Negative population growth" for the first time in 61 years: what does it mean that young people are reluctant to have children?

What's more, what are the most realistic pressures in front of young people?

Prices:

My own house is still paying the mortgage, and when I pay the mortgage for 20-30 years, I have to buy a house for my children.

Climb out of one pit and fall into another.

Cost of Education:

People around you sign up for interest classes for your children, choose a good kindergarten, can you accept the will to let your children follow you, does it not matter?

Everyone is rolling, only you don't roll, and the pressure in your heart is great.

I also saw a data online:

Now in the post-90s, most of them are in a state of "debt".

Even their own lives are difficult to manage, how do they expect it, how do they have the courage to have children?

To have a child, it has taken a lot of courage and determination; Let them have a second child, it is estimated that they will have to be considered.

I'm afraid that the next task of having a child will depend on the 00s.
