With the liberalization of China's population policy, many people are looking forward to ushering in the era of two or three children, but the latest statistics are surprising - China's one-child fertility rate has fallen to 05！This means that no one wants to have even one child now, so what about the second and third children?
This issue involves China's long-standing population policy and population structure, and we need to seriously consider and resolve it. First of all, I think everyone knows that China has been implementing the family planning policy for decades, which has played a very important role in controlling the number of people and alleviating the pressure on the population. However, with the development of social economy and the intensification of the aging problem, we are also facing new challenges.
Let's take a look at why no one wants to have even one child now. Studies have shown that with the improvement of living standards and the increase in the cost of childbirth, many families have a wait-and-see attitude towards childbearing. In the city, the cost of children's education and medical care is increasingly burdened by familiesIn rural areas, the problem of left-behind children is also becoming more and more serious due to the migration of the labor force. In addition, the elevated status of women in the workplace has also led many people to choose careers over childbearing. All these factors have led to a significant decline in people's enthusiasm for childbearing.
What about the second and third children?First of all, we need to face up to the reality, China's total population is still huge, but the population structure has a serious aging problem. If the fertility rate remains low for a long time, it will lead to a shortage of labor and an increase in the burden of social security. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the population policy in a timely manner and liberalize the two-child or even three-child policy to supplement the labor force and ease the pressure on the elderly.
We also need to pay attention to children's education, medical care and other issues, reduce the pressure on families to have children, so that more families are willing to have children. **Relevant policies can be introduced to reduce or exempt education and medical expenses;Improving the welfare of children;Strengthen care for left-behind children and other measures to encourage childbirth. We also need to pay attention to the change of young people's concept of marriage and childbearing, strengthen sex education and publicity on marriage and childbearing, so that more people can establish a correct concept of childbearing, realize the importance of childbearing to the family and society, and take the initiative to devote themselves to the cause of childbearing.
To sum up, China's one-child fertility rate fell to 05 Behind this is the negative impact of China's long-term family planning policy, as well as a reflection of socio-economic development and demographic structure. We need to adjust the population policy in a timely manner, promote the implementation of the two-child and three-child policies, and at the same time pay attention to children's education, medical care and other issues, and guide the change of young people's concept of marriage and childbearing, so as to promote the healthy development of the population and the sustainable development of society. It is hoped that through the joint efforts of all of us, China's population problem can be effectively resolved.
