In recent years, with the rapid development of social economy and the popularization of quality education, parents have paid more and more attention to their children's education, not only to ensure that their children receive a good education, but also to face a lot of education costs. At the same time, China's birth rate is declining and the problem of an aging population is intensifying, raising concerns about young people's willingness to have children. In order to deal with this problem, some places have introduced a series of policies to encourage childbirth, such as the introduction of multi-child subsidies and the encouragement of eugenics. However, for many young people, the pressures of life have made it difficult for them to afford to live alone, let alone raise children, especially in the case of second or third children. Faced with the problem of young people's difficulty in raising a baby, Professor Zheng Bingwen of the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences put forward a new proposal, he believes that young people can turn to relatives for help, he believes that difficulties are only temporary, young people still have a long way to go, and missing the best age for childbearing may bring regret. However, this proposal has been questioned and criticized by most people as just a false proposal. Therefore, we need to take this question a step further and understand the challenges faced by young people and whether Professor Cheng Bingwen's advice is reasonable.
1.Challenges faced by young people: Young people face many pressures in today's society, including education, healthcare, economics, and retirement. These problems may be the main reason for the low fertility of young people.
2.Professor Cheng Bingwen's advice: Professor Cheng Bingwen believes that young people can turn to relatives to solve the problem of raising children. He believes that difficulties are only temporary, that young people still have a long way to go, that they should dare to pursue the beauty of life at a young age, and that missing the best age for childbearing may bring regret.
3.Reasons for being questioned: Many people have questioned and criticized Professor Cheng Bingwen's proposal. On the one hand, young people are already under a lot of pressure, and it is difficult for them to take on the responsibility of raising an additional child;On the other hand, the relationship between relatives may have become estranged, and even if they turn to relatives, there is no guarantee of substantial help.
The declining fertility rate and the aging of the population have become the focus of social attention, and a series of policies to encourage childbearing have been introduced, but young people are facing various difficulties:
1.Educational pressure: In order to get a better education for their children, parents pay a lot of financial and energy costs.
2.Medical pressure: With the continuous increase in medical costs**, once a child falls ill and needs to seek medical attention, the family will face a greater financial burden.
3.Financial pressures: Expenses such as mortgages, car loans, living expenses, etc., make it difficult for young people to afford to live alone, let alone raise children.
4.Pension pressure: With the deepening of the aging of society, young people also have to face a series of problems such as pension gaps.
In this context, is Professor Cheng Bingwen's suggestion reasonable?From the actual situation, there are certain theoretical and practical misunderstandings in Professor Zheng's proposal
1.Relatives' willingness and ability: Relationships between relatives are complex, and whether it is feasible to turn to relatives to raise children requires a consensus on the relatives' willingness and financial capacity, and it cannot simply be assumed that relatives will take on this responsibility.
2.Estrangement of interpersonal relationships: With the development of society, the patterns of contact and communication between people have changed, and the relationship between relatives may have become estranged, and even if they turn to relatives, there is no guarantee of effective help.
3.Understanding of young people's stress: The pressures faced by young people are multifaceted, including economic pressure, psychological pressure, etc., and expecting them to turn to relatives to solve problems will not fundamentally solve their plight.
In summary, although Professor Cheng Bingwen has put forward a new perspective, from the analysis of the actual situation, the challenges and problems faced by young people cannot be solved simply by relatives. Therefore, instead of placing the responsibility of raising children entirely on relatives, we should consider how to solve the problem of raising young people from a more comprehensive and specific perspective.
