In this era of rapid change and unpredictability, there is a piece of news that has sparked heated discussions in all corners of society like a bombshell -- if you do not have children, you will be deprived of social welfare guarantees! This is a bold proposal put forward by a well-known expert and professor, which is intended to motivate young people to have children in this way, so as to increase the country's fertility rate. However, will this offer really work out?
Let's not discuss whether this measure is reasonable, but let's explore the deeper reasons behind this proposal. Why is fertility such an important issue, and why is it necessary for experts to teach such "strategies" to urge young people to have children?
Reproduction, as an important way for human reproduction, has always been the cornerstone of social development. However, in modern society, with the development of the economy and the change of people's ideology, more and more young people choose to marry later and have children later, or even not marry and have children. This trend is already very evident in many developed countries, and now, it is quietly affecting our country as well.
In the face of this phenomenon, the proposal of the expert professor seems to be reasonable, but if you taste it carefully, you can't help but be suspicious. Why are young people reluctant to have children, is it because they really don't want to have children of their own, or is it because the weight of reality is putting them off?
High housing prices have left many young people without a place to live in the cities, the soaring cost of education has left parents worried about their children's future, and the rising cost of health care has put a heavy financial burden on families. Against this backdrop, is childbearing a simple decision?
Let's imagine a young couple, who have just entered the society, facing the pressure of work, the challenges of life, and at the same time have to consider a series of issues such as buying a house, buying a car, and providing for the elderly. In such a situation, adding a child is undoubtedly adding another layer to their already heavy burden. This is not persecution, but the helplessness of reality.
And the proposal of the expert professor seems to be solving the problem in a "carrot and stick" way. On the one hand, it "threatens" young people to have children by removing social welfare guarantees, and on the other hand, it may seem to them that childbirth itself is a "reward" - when you have a child, you can enjoy all kinds of social benefits and security. However, will this simple and crude way really solve the problem?
We can't help but wonder whether such a measure really respects the individual's choice? Reproductive rights are a fundamental right of every human being, and they should not be influenced by any external factors. We can use policies to guide and environment to optimize, but we must not use threats to force us.
Moreover, increasing fertility does not happen overnight. What it requires is the joint efforts of the whole society, from improving the reproductive environment, reducing the cost of childbirth to increasing the willingness to have children, every link cannot be ignored. And all of this requires us to think and act with our hearts.
Going back to the question at the beginning of the article, if you don't have children, you will be removed from social welfare protection, can such a measure really increase the fertility rate? The answer is obviously no. Fertility is not a game, it requires sincerity, responsibility and dedication. As a member of society, we should pay more attention to the key factors that really affect the fertility rate, rather than "force" young people to have children in a simple and crude way.
On this issue, we need to be more understanding and tolerant, rather than blaming and persecuting. Let us work together to create a more relaxed and friendly environment for young people to have children! Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of declining fertility and make our society more harmonious and better.
In closing, I would like to say that procreation is everyone's right and everyone's choice. We should respect everyone's decision, instead of blaming and persecuting with a condescending posture. Because in this world, there is nothing more touching than respect and understanding.
