In today's society, a problem that plagues countless families is becoming more and more prominent - educational involution. Children are forced into a highly competitive Xi environment from an early age, and parents have to invest a lot of time and money to make up for Xi and participate in various competitions for their children's future. However, this endless competition has not brought corresponding rewards, but has left the whole society in a vicious circle.
Liang Jianzhang, a population economist and chairman of the board of directors of Trip.com Group, believes that the involution of education is one of the important reasons for the low fertility rate. He believes that the education system in most countries has not changed for almost 100 years, but the world has changed dramatically. With the development of human knowledge, innovation requires more and more Xi knowledge. Therefore, we need to fundamentally change our education system.
Liang Jianzhang proposed an innovative solution: by increasing investment in fixed assets, a part of it will be used to subsidize childbirth. According to his calculations, China's GDP will reach 121 trillion yuan in 2022, and if 2% of GDP is used to subsidize childbirth, it is equivalent to about 24 trillion yuan. If the average monthly subsidy per child is 1,500 yuan, that is, the average annual subsidy per child is 180,000 yuan. If the annual birth population is 10 million, then the subsidy for the birth population of the year needs 180 billion yuan.
Such a subsidy policy will not only reduce the financial pressure on young families, but also encourage them to have more children. In this way, it can effectively alleviate the problem of educational involution, so that children no longer bear excessive Xi pressure, and at the same time can contribute to China's population structure and social stability.
Although Liang Jianzhang's plan is not the only answer, it is not an overnight solution. However, it offers a new direction of thinking and allows us to see the possibility of education reform. I hope that in the future, we can see more such creative and practical suggestions to jointly promote the progress of China's education, create a more fair and healthy Xi environment, so that every child can enjoy high-quality educational resources, so that parents no longer worry about their children's education.
