A study led by the University of Michigan in the United States reviewed the genetic and health information of more than 276,000 people.

The study also found that when controlling the number and timing of reproduction of genes, it was possibleHaving only two children can help increase longevity. Having too few or too many children can shorten your lifespan.

But in today's Chinese society, let alone two, I don't dare to raise one. Nowadays, young people are afraid of marriage and dare not get married, and once they get married, they will be old and young, and the economic pressure will also increase. Nowadays, the cost of living is getting higher and higher, and housing prices, education costs, etc., are unaffordable for young people. Once you get married, it means that you need to pay more expenses, including mortgage, children's education expenses, etc. In the current employment situation, many young people are unable to meet these expenses with their income, which makes them discouraged from getting married.

Young people's understanding and expectations of marriage have also changed. Young people in the past saw marriage as a responsibility, a contract, and the need to continue the family and pass on the lineage. However, young people in modern society place more emphasis on personal freedom and independence, they pursue their careers and interests, and there are higher requirements for marriage. They want to find a like-minded partner through marriage, not to marry for the sake of getting married.

There are also young people who are pessimistic about marriage itself. They have seen too many cases of disharmony and failure of marriages from the examples around them, so they have developed fear and distrust of marriage. They are afraid that they will also be in trouble in their marriage, and they are frightened by the breakdown of their emotions and the loss of intimacy.

To sum up, the phenomenon that young people in modern society are afraid of marriage and dare not get married is mainly because of the economy.

Stress, changes in understanding and expectations of marriage, changes in social attitudes, and pessimism about marriage are just a few of the reasons. The existence of these problems makes young people full of fear and doubts about marriage. In order to alleviate this situation, we should actively promote social development and reform, provide a better economic environment and job opportunities, and at the same time strengthen marriage education, so that young people can recognise and understand the meaning of marriage, so as to alleviate their fear of marriage. Only then will young people re-examine marriage and dare to embrace and take on family responsibilities.
