In today's challenging times, housing prices in many cities are prohibitively high, especially in first-tier cities, and many young people are facing huge pressure to buy a home. Today, I would like to take a closer look at what other economic and social issues are affecting our life choices in addition to high housing prices.
First of all, we cannot ignore the fact that, despite the high house prices, the broader price rise is also affecting the daily lives of each of us. From food to daily necessities, from basic necessities to leisure consumption, the general rise in prices has made many families' budgets even tighter. According to statistics, the domestic price level has risen by about 12% cumulatively in recent years, while at the same time, the pace of wage growth has been far from keeping pace with the rate of price increases.
In addition, the continuing decline in the marriage rate reflects changing social attitudes and increasing economic pressures. More young people are choosing to marry later or not at all, which not only slows the rate of population growth, but also has a profound impact on the traditional structure of society and the future labor market. Young people generally believe that without an economic foundation, marriage will only increase the burden of life.
At the same time, our country is also experiencing a significant aging of the population. At present, the elderly population of more than 260 million poses unprecedented challenges to the pension system and medical resources. The elderly population is expected to reach 400 million in the next two decades, accounting for nearly one-third of the total population by then. This change not only means that there is more pressure on pension payments, but also that more labor is needed to support the quality of life of the elderly population.
This series of questions shows that it is not enough to focus on housing prices, but also to consider and respond to the problems of rising prices, declining marriage rates, and an aging population. Solving these problems requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and all sectors of society. For example, the government can reduce the financial burden on young people by providing more public housing, optimizing tax policies, and promoting reforms in the health and elderly care systems to cope with the growing elderly population.
In short, the solution of these problems will have a direct impact on the quality of life of each of us and the stability of society. Your participation and input is invaluable, and we look forward to hearing more from you.
