2022 is destined to be an extraordinary year. This year, the Chinese population decreased by 850,000. The number of births fell below 10 million to 9.56 million. Lower and lower birth rates are affecting our future.
The number of births fell below 10 million
The last fertility peak in China was in the 80s. Beginning in '81 and continuing until the mid-90s, China had more than 20 million births every year. The huge number of post-80s generations has also created the peak of the Chinese Internet, and Baidu Tieba is a witness of its prosperity.
However, in the mid-to-late 90s, the number of Chinese births began to enter a period of decline. From 20 million births all the way down. By 2022, it even fell below 10 million, only 9.56 million. This indicates that China will also buy into the ranks of declining birthrate, negative population growth and aging.
The population began to decrease
If the birth rate is decreasing, it is not the most terrible, the decline in the total population is very realistic.
According to statistics, in 2022, the Chinese population will decrease by 850,000. That is, the Chinese has entered a stage of negative growth!
Negative population growth in 2022 is the first negative population growth in 61 years since 1962!
The decrease in population means that demographic dividends, intensive industries, just need to buy houses, consumption drive, etc. have become castles in the air.
Young people are stressed
What caused the birth rate to decrease so much? The main thing is that young people are unwilling to get married and have children, which in the final analysis is that young people are stressed!
The sky-high bride price is on the news from time to time.
The ultra-high divorce rate also restricts young people's love dreams.
In addition, employment pressure, parenting pressure, supporting parents, economic environment, etc., are all factors that restrict young people from getting married and having children, and it is too difficult for young people to find a suitable object to marry and have children!
Buying a house, eternal pain
Even if the above pressure is solved, even if you find an understanding person and prepare to get married. There is another hurdle that cannot be crossed, that is, buying a house!
Now in big cities, buying a house is simply out of reach. Millions of house prices at every turn make ordinary wage earners completely lose confidence.
Going to a small city to buy a house? Not to mention that there are no jobs and employment prospects, the woman's side alone will not be able to pass. And then the house prices in some small cities are already very expensive!
Buying a house hollows out the income of Chinese families for many years to come.
Buying a house makes many small couples breathless.
Buying a house is an eternal pain for young people in China.
What to take to save the birth rate?
So, is there any way to save the birth rate and reduce stress on young people?
There are many ways, but the actual effect is difficult to say.
Take buying a house, for example, after how many years have been mentioned, house prices are still unattainable.
In addition, school district housing, the pressure of raising children, various miscellaneous expenses, employment, work, etc., are like a tight curse that makes young people dare not think about the slightest.
In the difficult situation of young people themselves, talking about having children is so pale and powerless.
Only after solving the pressure of young people's lives, employment pressure, and parenting costs can the birth rate recover slightly. And now this situation is really difficult.
