"I'd rather be good alone, why be dragged down by marriage and children? It's so much more free!"
Such voices are becoming more and more common among young people. Compared with the enthusiasm of the fathers for "inheritance", today's young people are not interested in getting married and having children.
Young people are "afraid of marriage and pregnancy", why are they not interested in "inheritance"?
Carefully analyzing the crux of this "fear of marriage and pregnancy", I have to say that this is indeed a thorny problem faced by young people. First of all, economic factors, most of them are still struggling to pursue career development and financial stability when they have not long entered the society, and they simply cannot afford the high cost of getting married and having children. Nowadays, not to mention buying a house, just an ordinary child needs to invest hundreds of thousands of yuan from birth to college, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for young people who have just gained a foothold.
The workplace environment has also become a major obstacle for young people to resist marriage and childbearing. Women, in particular, are still facing the problem of glass ceilings in many industries, and once they give birth, their status in the workplace is even more precarious. During childcare, they have to swing between work and family, and this pressure and anxiety can naturally be daunting.
Therefore, for today's young people, the psychology of "fear of marriage and pregnancy" is not a complete departure from the family concept, but more of a helpless self-protection. Faced with a difficult life situation and an unfavorable social environment, they would rather choose to live independently than be held back by marriage and parenting.
This attitude of "talking about marriage and changing colors" has undoubtedly cast a shadow on the mainland's future population development. So, how can we solve this thorny problem and make young people want to start families and carry on their own family again? The government and society urgently need to introduce more targeted support policies to create a more relaxed and friendly environment for them. Only in this way can the knot of "fear of marriage and pregnancy" be gradually untied, and new hope can bloom again on this land.
The crisis of population "fault" has caused a tragedy through the ages?
The issue of population has never been a trivial matter. However, at present, the continuous decline in the mainland's fertility rate may cause a "demographic fault" crisis that is more severe than we imagined.
Historically, it is not difficult to see that demographic imbalances often lead to various social unrest. For example, an imbalance in the aging of the population will inevitably lead to a sharp contraction of the labor force, which will lead to sluggish economic growth. You know, how can a country with a declining population still maintain economic prosperity and social stability? What's more, the large number of elderly people means a huge pressure on the elderly, which will become another heavy burden for the government.
At the same time, the collapse of family values is more likely to trigger a deep crisis of social values. After all, the family is the basic cell of society, and once people gradually abandon the concept of "passing on the family lineage", then how can we talk about social harmony? I am afraid that the tragic scene of the elderly living alone will soon be left unattended and lonely.
It can be said that the ripple effect of demographic imbalances will have a profound impact on our lives in every way. Whether it is the collapse of the economic system or the turmoil of social order, it will have a huge impact on the country and the people.
Therefore, we must attach great importance to the serious consequences of the current continued decline in fertility. This is not only related to the future rise or fall of a country, but also directly related to the vital interests of hundreds of millions of people. For the government, it has become a top priority to formulate targeted support policies. Only in this way can people regain their enthusiasm for childbearing and prevent the occurrence of a population fault crisis.
Speaking of which, we can't help but worry about those young people who are "afraid of marriage and pregnancy". After all, if they are no longer willing to enter the marriage hall and start a family, then this imminent demographic disaster may really be unavoidable. Perhaps, as long as the social environment once again creates ideal conditions for them to have children, they will also re-realize the value of "inheritance".
To save the crisis of "cutting off incense", the government must take a "fierce medicine"!
When it comes to solving the problem of declining fertility on the mainland, we have to mention the key role played by the government. After all, in order to reverse this increasingly severe crisis of "cutting off the incense", it is not enough to rely on the efforts of individuals and families, and the key is to introduce a series of targeted support policies from the government.
First of all, it is natural to start by reducing the cost of childbirth. As we all know, the cost of raising a child is daunting for many families these days. From medical expenses and education expenses to housing and daily living expenses, every expenditure can be overwhelming. You must know that for young people who have just entered the workplace, these huge financial pressures are undoubtedly worse. Therefore, the government should introduce various preferential policies such as financial subsidies and tax incentives without mercy to effectively reduce the burden of childbirth on the vast number of families.
At the same time, improving the status of women in society and the workplace is also the key to solving the crisis of "cutting off incense". As we all know, women still face glass ceilings in many industries, and once they enter the childcare stage, their career development is even more precarious. This unfair situation will undoubtedly make more women resist the idea of having children. In this regard, the government should start from the legal and institutional levels to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of women, and provide them with more employment security and development space. Only in this way can women truly get rid of their over-dependence on the family and become more actively involved in the cause of childbearing.
Compared with the above two measures, the creation of a social environment conducive to family building may be the most critical and necessary. Even if the government has introduced preferential policies and women have been better protected, if the entire social atmosphere still lacks support and recognition for the family, then it is difficult for the general public's enthusiasm for childbirth to be truly stimulated. Therefore, the government should take the initiative to create a social atmosphere that encourages childbearing and respects the family, so that everyone can deeply feel that forming a family and inheriting the bloodline is something to be proud of.
Having said that, whether these measures can truly solve the crisis of "cutting off incense" may still take a long time. After all, the population problem is simply too broad in scope. However, as long as the government sincerely cheers for this, I believe that one day, we will be able to prevent the tragedy of the population fault line.
What is hidden behind the young people's "not giving birth or marrying"?
"I'd rather live alone than be tied down by marriage and children!" Such a cry can be said to be resounding among the young people of today. Faced with the crisis of "cutting off incense", most of them showed an obvious attitude of "fear of marriage and pregnancy", which made many people have to worry about it.
If you dig deeper into the real reasons behind this phenomenon, you will find that many people do not really want to have children, but are just bound by real conditions. For example, frequent financial pressures and job instability make it impossible for them to afford the high costs of marriage and family. What's more, the status of women in the workplace is still unsatisfactory, and once they have children, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of career development. Under such circumstances, who would have the heart to think about the major matter of "passing on the lineage"?
Therefore, young people cannot simply be labelled as "unmarried and infertile". In fact, as long as the social environment and economic conditions are further improved, they are likely to re-examine this issue and take the initiative to devote themselves to the great cause of marriage and family building. After all, deep down, most people still have a beautiful vision of forming a cozy nest. It's just that, under the pressure of reality, they have to give up this dream for the time being.
If the government and society can give more support and help, I believe that young people's attitudes towards childbearing will change greatly. For example, from economic subsidies to job security to improving the employment environment, as long as a series of targeted measures are taken, they will be able to create a more favorable environment for childbirth. At the same time, it is also necessary to create a good atmosphere of encouraging childbirth and respecting the family at the level of public opinion, so that everyone can deeply feel that inheriting the bloodline is something to be proud of.
After all, the rise and fall of a country depends largely on the stability of its demographics. If this crisis of "cutting off the incense" continues to worsen, it will be truly terrifying. Therefore, the government and society must act to solve this thorny problem and bring new life back to this hot land. Only in this way can our country and nation truly move toward prosperity and rejuvenation.
