It is difficult to raise a baby and ask relatives for help temporarily, and relatives question why they entrust me?
With the development of society, more and more young people are reluctant to have children. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of experts, economist Zheng Bingwen said when talking about the problem of young people being afraid of having children"Young people should enjoy the period of motherhood and be able to borrow from friends and relatives for a while, otherwise they will regret it after the childbearing age. "However, netizens ridiculed this statement, arguing that Zheng Bingwen did not understand the crux of the problem.
In fact, there are many reasons why young people are reluctant to have children. First, as social competition intensifies, young people are facing increasing economic pressure. The continuous rise in the cost of housing, education, medical care, and so on has made it impossible for many young people to bear the economic pressure of having children.
Secondly, the lifestyles and values of modern society have changed. Many young people are more focused on personal freedom, career development and quality of life, and having children can have a negative impact on their lifestyle and career development. In addition, the role of women in society is also changing, with many women pursuing higher self-fulfillment and career advancement, which has led them to adopt a more cautious approach to motherhood. In response to this problem, experts have come up with various solutions. Cheng believes that young women should grasp the actual period of motherhood, and can temporarily seek help from relatives and friends to relieve financial pressure. She believes that more support and assistance should be given to young people, that is, more public services such as housing, education, health care, etc., to reduce their financial pressure. In addition, fertility can also be incentivized through the development of policies such as maternity allowances, tax breaks, etc.
Netizens, however, scoffed at Mr. Cheng's suggestion. They believe that Zheng Bingwen has failed to grasp the crux of the matter. In fact, young people's willingness to have children is not only determined by economic pressures, but also by many other factors. For example, the positioning of women's roles in society, family values, cultural traditions, etc., will affect young people's fertility intentions. Therefore, there is a need to address young people's fertility from multiple perspectives. First and foremost, protection and support for women must be strengthened. Women face additional difficulties and challenges in childbearing and child-rearing. Better laws and regulations must be put in place to protect women's rights, such as more maternity leave, parental leave and other welfare measures. In addition, support and assistance for families should be strengthened, including through the provision of more childcare services, family education counselling and other measures.
Second, it is necessary to strengthen the guidance and reform of social and cultural traditions. Many traditional socio-cultural attitudes have a negative impact on young people's willingness to have children. ** The guidance and reform of these traditional concepts should be strengthened, and young people should be encouraged to establish correct family concepts and values. In addition, it can also improve young people's awareness and sense of responsibility for childbirth through publicity and education. Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the social security system. The social security system is the key to solving the problem of young people's fertility. ** The social security system should be strengthened to provide more comprehensive and reliable social security services for young people. For example, we can develop a more complete social security system and provide more social welfare services to alleviate the economic pressure and worries of young people.
In short, to solve the problem of young people's reluctance to have children, we need to start from many aspects. ** It is necessary to strengthen the protection and support of women, strengthen the guidance and reform of social and cultural traditions, strengthen the construction of the social security system, and improve the willingness and sense of responsibility of young people to have children. Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of population decline and promote the sustainable development of society.
