In the past two years, I believe you will find a strange phenomenon, although people's living standards have improved, but the fertility rate is constantly declining!More and more people are starting to diswant to have children and get married!
According to the recently released China Statistical Yearbook 2023, a total of 11 provinces maintained positive natural population growth in 2022, with Ningxia, Guizhou, Qinghai and Guangdong ranking in the top five. There are 20 provinces with negative natural population growth rates, and 7 of them turned from positive to negative last year. China's birth population was 9.56 million, a decrease of 1.06 million over last year, officially starting the process of negative population growth.
So why do so many people not want to have children?After the standard of living has improved, shouldn't there be more income and energy to have children?Why is the fertility rate declining?In response to this phenomenon, a population economist and chairman of the board of directors of Trip.com Group expressed his opinion, and he believes that the main problem lies in the serious involution of education in China
Speaking of "involution", I believe many people are no strangers, from the current society, all walks of life are full of various types of involution, among which the education industry is the most prominent, followed by "chicken baby", "pit school" and other hot words derived, from this year's many things can be clearly seen!Recently, respiratory infections have been on the rise, and major hospitals are crowded with children who are seeing a doctor, in this case, children and parents should have seen a doctor with peace of mind, rested well to recover better, and when they recovered, they returned to school to continue learning Xi!
But everyone found a strange phenomenon, although many children have infusions in their hands, they are still struggling to write their homework, and there is no slack in the slightest!What's more, some children have a high fever, parents not only do not send their children to the hospital, but simply to prescribe a few medicines, even if the doctor repeatedly emphasizes that the child's condition is very serious, but still in exchange for the parents' sentence "afraid of delaying homework"!
Such a scene can't help but make people feel sad and helpless!Many people have complained, why are parents so ruthless?Isn't the child's life more important?Why is he so ruthless and indifferent to the child's condition?In fact, the reason for this, in the final analysis, is not to blame the parents, looking at it, the whole society has reached a very high level of attention to children's education!Every parent hopes that their children can get good grades and not lose at the starting line, so they have enrolled in a variety of make-up Xi classes and interest classes since childhood, hoping that in this way, they can improve their children's academic Xi and performance in order to have a better performance in the process of going to school!
In this process, parents have paid a lot of time and money for this, as parents, not only do they work hard every day to earn money, just to provide their children with a better education, but also need to wait until after work, to help their children with homework to improve their academic Xi grades, they have to live under great pressure!Because of this, many people are unwilling and afraid to have children, and these burdens have caused the decline in people's fertility rate!
Liang Jianzhang believes that involution causes a low fertility rate
