Expert Zheng Bingwen expressed his opinion on the phenomenon that young people are afraid to have children. He said that the reason why young people are afraid to have children is mainly because they face many life pressures, such as education, pension, medical care and so on. He also understands this phenomenon, but he also stresses the importance of this stage of childbearing. He believes that despite the difficulties, young couples should look forward and seize this period of fertility. He suggested that if you encounter difficulties, you can borrow the strength of relatives and friends to help tide over them. He emphasized that the opportunity for childbearing at this stage is fleeting, and after the age of age, there will be regrets.
However, the expert's remarks sparked widespread controversy. Many believe that experts are detached from real life and do not understand the realities of young people. It is widely accepted that difficulties are not short-lived, but long-lasting. Childbirth requires not only a lot of energy and material resources, but also huge financial support. Therefore, the expert's statement that "the difficulties are temporary" does not seem to correspond to reality. In addition, the expert's reference to "relatives and friends to help" has also been questioned. After all, not all of our relatives and friends have the ability and resources to support their birth plans. Some even point out that even their own biological parents cannot fully help themselves, let alone other relatives and friends.
Some of these points of contention are heated in rhetoric, but there are also some poignant points. Some people think that the poor have no relatives to turn to, and only the rich can enjoy the support of their relatives. Some people even shared their own personal experiences, pointing out that childbirth is a permanent dilemma. They listed many difficulties, from the cost of myopia, education expenses to wedding housing, vehicles and other expenses, all of which do not require huge financial support. These difficulties will not be solved in the short term, but will require long-term sustained economic support.
The reasons why young people are afraid to have children are complex, and many practical problems are one of the main factors. First of all, educational stress is an important concern for young people**. In China, good educational resources are often concentrated in large cities and first-tier cities. Therefore, in order to provide a better education for their children, many young couples have to face the pressure of high housing prices and high education costs. This makes them hesitant to have children easily.
Secondly, medical problems are also causing problems for young people to plan their own lives. With the development of society, medical expenses have gradually increased, and the cost of some major diseases is extremely high. Young people are worried that having a child and facing medical expenses at the same time will put a huge financial burden on their families. This is also one of the important reasons that restrict their fertility.
In addition, the issue of old-age care is also the reason why young people are hesitant to have children. As society ages, young people worry that they don't have the financial means and time to take care of their parents. They are worried that if they have children, they will not be able to meet the needs of their parents at the same time.
In addition, career development is also a major consideration for young people to have children. Today's competitive workplace is making it easier for young people to devote more time and energy to pursuing their careers. They worry that having children will affect their job and career prospects.
Verbal persuasion may not be enough to address the problem of young people not daring to have children, and more comprehensive policy measures are needed to solve the problem. Here are some things you can do to help young people with fertility:
1.Improve the allocation of educational resources: Increase the investment and allocation of educational resources, promote educational equity, enable more regions to provide high-quality education, and reduce the educational pressure on young people.
2.Improving the health system: Strengthening medical capacity, reducing health care costs, increasing insurance coverage, and providing more accessible and affordable health care for young people.
3.Improve the social security system: Strengthen the construction of the pension insurance and medical insurance system, alleviate the worries of young people about pension and medical problems, and enable them to have children with more confidence.
4.Optimize the career development environment: Provide more career development opportunities and training resources to help young people balance work and family life, and improve their confidence in childbearing.
5.Improve the birth policy: appropriately relax the restrictions on the birth policy, increase the birth allowance and other related subsidies, and encourage young people to have children.
The implementation of the above measures requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society and experts. Only through all-round policies and measures can we solve the problem of young people not daring to have children, increase the fertility rate, and achieve sustained and stable population growth.
