Preface
Previously, the first financial report closed more than 20,000 kindergartens across the country within two years, and then the wave of kindergarten teachers unemployed followed.
The collapse of a large kindergarten will be accompanied by the unemployment of dozens of kindergarten teachers, and laid-off kindergarten teachers can only engage in live broadcasting, nail art, and odd jobs in order to survive.

It's not that they refuse to continue to work as kindergarten teachers, but that kindergarten teacher jobs are too difficult to find.
Looking back at 2017, there is still a gap of several million
Over the past year, nearly 40 kindergartens have been closed every day across the country.
The number of preschool educators has dropped by 170,000, and some kindergarten teachers said that only a few of their classmates are still in the preschool education industry, and the rest have changed careers to make a living.
If all the kindergarten teachers run away, what should our children do with preschool education? Has kindergarten become a "sunset industry"?
Kindergarten teachers' treatment is "extremely low"
The salary of the kindergarten has always been a problem, whether it is a kindergarten teacher who graduated from a secondary school or a junior college, the salary is not satisfactory, and the salary of two or three thousand is the norm.
Even the salaries of senior managers are not very optimistic, and some kindergarten teachers have exposed that those old and young teachers who are about to retire are only 5,000 yuan in salary.
This salary is quite considerable if it is in a small city in the third and fourth tiers, but this is the provincial capital city of Wuhan, and the salary of 3,000 yuan can indeed only live a very poor life, but there are many kindergartens that can't even afford a salary of 3,000 yuan.
The salary of kindergarten teachers in core cities is still like this, and we can't imagine how low the salary of kindergartens in some small cities or towns is.
Some kindergarten teachers like to get along with children from the bottom of their hearts, and it doesn't matter if the salary is a little lower, after all, there is this love to support it.
However, these kindergarten teachers are able to keep doing this job with their love, but the kindergartens they work in are difficult to sustain because it is too difficult to recruit kindergartens in non-core areas.
Lack of students leads to serious involution of kindergartens, everyone is racking their brains to compete for the only few remaining children, the price is lower and lower, the income is also lower and lower, if the income can not cover the operating costs of the kindergarten, then the kindergarten is left with only one way to go out of business.
Kindergartens have closed down, and kindergarten teachers can only be unemployed and laid off, not because they don't work hard enough, but because there is no platform to carry their work.
At this time, kindergarten teachers can't even earn low wages, and even the most basic living expenses will have problems.
Some kindergarten teachers are disappointed in the preschool education industry and can only change careers in order to make a living, and some of them are really unable to find a job as a kindergarten teacher and can only be forced to change careers.
Whether it is a kindergarten teacher who actively changes careers or passively changes careers, they all have one thing in common, that is, the income of kindergarten teachers is really unsustainable.
It can also be seen that there is a big problem in this industry, and the root cause is our birth rate.
The preschool education industry has fallen into a "low birthrate" turmoil
The reduction of the birth rate is to a certain extent directly determines the market situation of the preschool education industry, young children are the lifeblood of kindergartens, the more new children, the more future customers of the preschool education industry, their market will expand.
The decrease in newborns also means that the preschool education market is shrinking, the industry has entered a state of "oversupply", and the demand of the industry in the society continues to decrease, so the supply will follow the market trend to shrink.
The tide of kindergarten closures and the wave of unemployment of kindergarten teachers is a good proof that the declining birthrate is a sudden brake on the preschool education industry.
Those kindergartens with very strong competitiveness may continue to flourish in the future, but those with weaker competitiveness may be swept away by the low fertility turmoil.
If the low fertility turmoil continues, then the preschool education industry may become an industry that only exists in top kindergartens in the future, and other general kindergartens can only survive or simply close down.
This may have a negative impact on the employment of kindergarten teachers, kindergartens are becoming fewer and fewer, there are few jobs that can be provided, and there will be a considerable number of kindergarten teachers who cannot be employed, and they cannot find relevant jobs at all.
Since the industry is not good, it is understandable that these kindergarten teachers can endure the pain and change their careers, because it is difficult for kindergarten teachers to see the future of this industry.
The future of kindergartens may be nursing homes
The impact of the wave of kindergarten closures is indeed huge, and to put it mildly, such a trend may affect primary and junior high school education, and it may become more and more serious in the future.
So kindergartens want to survive must face the problem of transformation, many practitioners brains directly transformed into the "old people's garden", since there are no children to collect, it is better to collect some "old children".
Many people regard the pension industry as the blue ocean of the future, because the continued low fertility rate may lead to the aggravation of the aging trend of the population in the future, the previous generations have been born too much, and the current people are too few, and the future is very likely to have more elderly than young people.
At that time, the demand for elderly care will be unprecedentedly huge, and the decrease in the number of young people means that many people will not be able to take care of their elderly parents by themselves, and the best choice is to find a professional institution to take care of them.
This is theoretically very reasonable, and it is also reasonable for children to be sent to kindergartens by their parents for "further study" when they are young, and for parents to be cared for in "old children's kindergartens" when they are older.
These old people are really the best explanation for rejuvenation, opening up new ideas for the kindergarten industry, and maybe doubling income, because there are too many only children in our generation.
In the past, it was two parents who sent a child to kindergarten, but now it may be a child who sends an old couple to the "old children's garden", and the number of customers is directly multiplied by two.
If the kindergarten transforms in this direction, there is also a great advantage, that is, the cost may not be very high, the kindergarten itself has ready-made facilities, only need to change the details, and then replace the kindergarten teacher with a chaperone.
But if we do this, as children, we may also feel guilty, in the past, our parents sent us to kindergarten, watching us grow up day by day, and parents can see hope in their eyes.
If we send our elderly parents to a nursing home, then we can't accompany our parents in their last years, we are growing up little by little, and our parents are disappearing little by little, and our behavior in exchange for saving trouble is regret after all.
epilogue
If the demographic trend is not reversed in a short period of time, then there may be no living space for private kindergartens in the future, and public kindergartens are estimated to be able to support for a long time.
Therefore, if you still have a friend running a kindergarten around you, please be sure to persuade him to control the investment, and it is enough to maintain the master, and there is no need to expand the investment.
