Recently, there is a very hot topic on the Internet, that is, China's baby raising cost is the highest in the world.
According to the "China Fertility Cost Report 2024", the latest cost of raising babies for Chinese families (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) has increased by 10.9% compared with the 2022 version of the report, with an average cost of 538,000 yuan for children aged 0-17 and an average cost of 680,000 yuan for raising children to graduate from undergraduate. This data shows that the cost of raising a baby for Chinese families continues to rise.
According to statistics, China's baby raising is more than 5 times the per capita GDP, and most men can't support their wives and children.
In fact, we all know that from the baby's birth to his college, we can estimate that according to regional differences, at least 500,000 to 700,000 yuan, and then an average of 18 years, the maximum cost of a baby per year is about 37,000 yuan, if it is to raise two babies, at least more than 70,000 yuan.
It's ridiculous to think about it, and how much an ordinary man can earn in a year, we all know in our hearts, and at the end of the year, our hands are empty.
That's why there are so many single people and so few people who are willing to have babies, the main reason is that there are two words, no money.
Who doesn't want to have children and grandchildren, who doesn't want people to be prosperous, but the question is can you afford to raise them after birth?
There is a number called the labor support rate, which means that aside from the cost of their own survival, you can still support a few people, I saw a set of data from the Internet, Lao Mei is 4.8, Xiaori is 3.8, Germany, France and Britain is 6.8, people who have been to these countries know, and those who don't know can also be found on the Internet, in fact, in these countries, there are many full-time wives, and the elderly do not help to take care of the children, and the income of men's work is enough to support 3 to 6 people.
According to the data, our adult labor support rate is only 1.1, which can only support yourself, and most people cannot support other family members.
Some people may think that this number is accurate, but in fact, everyone has their own feelings, can your salary support your wife and children, and if there is no help from parents, how many of our families can function normally?
Isn't there such a saying on the Internet recently? If you want to talk about a boyfriend, you should find a pension from your parents, and don't talk about it if you don't have a pension. You know why, right?
On February 20 this year, the "Fertility Population Study" designed by Liang Jianzhang and other experts released the data of the "China Fertility Cost Report 2024" to estimate the latest childcare costs. caused ridicule from netizens, what else can there be besides these global highests that violate people's livelihood.
Therefore, this issue is related to the normal survival ability of more than one billion families in China, and it should indeed arouse the great attention of the whole society and relevant departments.
What we are thinking about now is not to think about stimulating the economy every day, so that people can buy and buy, because people don't have the money to buy anywhere.
What's even more incredible is that it is said that a storm of price increases seems to be coming, and many places have already implemented price increases in water and electricity bills to promote economic development.
Although some people think that it may be uncomfortable for the people in the short term, it will be beneficial in the long run.
Many netizens questioned this, don't say anything about the price increase is to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, just say that the cost of a family's expenses is high, which is nothing more than making people desperately earn money, and the money is always insufficient.
But no matter how hard we try, we are still tired of life, and the reason is because we can't make money.
So why can't the money be earned, where does the money go? What is the problem? Can't you understand it as an expert?
If these problems can be straightened out, I believe that the problem of economic downturn, the problem of low marriage rate, and the problem of low fertility rate will not be a problem at all.
