The fertility rate in the mainland is decreasing year by year, and many young people are reluctant to have more children, and even many young people are afraid of marriage, refuse to marry, and refuse to have children.
If it continues in the long run, the fertility rate on the mainland will become lower and lower. In addition, the aging population of the mainland is growing year by year. In the future, the population of the mainland will gradually decrease, which will have a certain impact on the development of the mainland in all aspects.
Why don't people want to have more children now?
Population economist Liang Jianzhang gave his opinion: the cost of raising has become one of the most important factors affecting fertility intention. The average cost of raising urban children aged 0~17 is 667,000 yuan. The average cost of raising rural children aged 0~17 is 365,000 yuan.
Yes, from the birth of the child to the child's graduation from college. From the lowest cost, it will cost more than 300,000 yuan in rural areas. Besides, there are many children in rural areas. There are basically more than two per family. It's normal to have four or five in some remote mountain villages.
Wages are low in rural areas. In order to be able to accompany their children, parents can only choose to work in the township, where the job is unstable and the salary is low. A salary of about 30,000 yuan a year is considered good.
Let's talk about urban consumption, it costs more than 600,000 yuan to raise a child. Although wages in the city will rise, the cost of raising children will also double.
Parents have worked hard all their lives, and they may not have hundreds of thousands, but they spend all their money on raising their children.
The most troublesome thing is that when parents work hard to spend all their life savings on raising their children, when their children graduate from college, they can only receive a salary of more than 2,000.
In other words, when parents work hard to train their children to become adults, the parents' pension problems are not guaranteed.
Let's take a look at what netizens have to say.
The interest classes that children attend can cost thousands of yuan at every turn, which is not something that ordinary families can afford. The child's medical expenses and the cost of going to kindergarten are all expensive. Now raising a baby is not only about money, but also about the company of parents.
Raising a child now, 1 million may not be enough. Because not only do you have to raise him, but when it comes time for him to get married and have children, you also have to give him a bride price, buy a car, and buy a house. Also to help with grandchildren.
The most terrible thing is that the children who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise may not be able to find a job in the future, or they may only get a salary of more than 2,000.
If there is no mortgage and no car loan, I believe that many families can still afford to raise their children.
Don't always think about money, we have to think about the essence of the continuation and inheritance of life?
In general, many people are reluctant to have children now, the main thing is that the cost of raising is too great and not affordable for ordinary people.
And there is a very popular saying among young people now: as long as I don't touch the mortgage or car loan, I won't pass on the family lineage. With a salary of two or three thousand, you can still live a very chic life.
That being said, we should think about what is the purpose of our life, and what is the essence of the continuation and inheritance of our lives?
Netizens, what do you think is the reason that hinders people's desire to have children?
