According to incomplete statistics, the post-00s have 57 million fewer people than the post-90s, why are people more and more resistant to having children?
Because in the past, social fertility was funnel-shaped, there were many poor people, and there were many rich people, and there was only one middle wage earner.
There are many rich people because the rich are rich and need family inheritance, so they need people to prosper.
The most important reason why the poor have more children is because the children at that time were free-range, and the cost of raising them was very low.
Children can help the family work at the age of six or seven, and when they grow up, they are proper laborers, eating and living in their own homes, the cost is low, and all the benefits are controlled and distributed by their parents, until they are finished with their parents.
In the small-scale peasant economic system, children are assets and parents' labor, so the poorer they are, the more they must have more children, otherwise how can they turn over and get rich?
No matter how poor you are now, as long as the people are prosperous, then working in the village is a considerable force, and no one is afraid of fighting, if only you can control your son, good times will naturally come.
However, with the process of urbanization, the gap in the cost of raising children is becoming more and more obvious, and social fertility has become a rose type, and only the rich people who live in the flower bones still have the courage to give birth, because they still have money, still need people to thrive, and still have no economic pressure to raise children.
And the working white-collar workers have become the group of people with the most Dinks, because they have a lot of parenting pressure and no parenting time.
Now you have to raise a child, not only for him to study, but also for him to learn all kinds of talents, but also to empty his savings to help him pay the down payment, and when he is finally raised to become a talent, he will not be able to stay with you to help you work.
You can only work for the capitalists, let the capitalists exploit you, and even wait for you to retire when you are old.
With extremely high costs and almost no benefits, having children has changed from creating assets to creating liabilities, who wants to have more children?
The post-90s and post-00s generations have discovered that having children in modern times is a loss-making business, and secondly, they have a high level of education, and they are not very willing to exploit their children as animals, so they will be cautious when they have children.
But in my opinion, it is not a sorrow for the poor to have children, but a kind of blessing, and the children of poor families enjoy the blessings of their parents first, and then the blessings of their bosses, and they enjoy blessings all their lives.
Children from poor families have poor living conditions since childhood, they do not eat well, they do not dress well, and they have low self-esteem, but they have cultivated the spirit of hardship and hard work, and they also have a grateful heart.
When they were young, they were grateful for the fertility of their parents, the education of the school, and when they grew up, they were grateful to the boss, not only voluntarily giving up overtime pay, but also taking the initiative to 996 and 007, enjoying the blessings of the children of the poor.
The poor are not having children for themselves, they are contributing to society, and they should be encouraged to have more children.
The more poor people live, the more cheap labor there is, and the factories can find cheaper workers, so that the advantage of exporting goods will be greater.
As long as the house is expensive enough, a suite can buy a lithography machine and catch up with the United States in minutes.
Although the children of poor families cannot afford to buy a house, they can rent a house. I can't afford a car, but I can ride a shared bike. I can't afford to marry a wife, but I can buy an inflatable wife.
So there are no worries.
It can be seen that the poorer the more people are born, it is not sad at all, it is obviously a kind of luck, and they have contributed to the country all their lives, and poor families should be encouraged to have more children and contribute more to the country, rather than spreading negative energy to make them self-sterilized.
It's ironic, don't you think?
