"** Document No. 1"., as the name suggests, is the first document released every yearIt is usually released at the beginning of the year.
On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China began to issue Document No. 1.
Nowadays"** Document No. 1".It has become a proper term for the Communist Party of China to attach importance to rural issues.
From 2004 to 2024, it issued the first document with the theme of "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" for 21 consecutive years, emphasizing the status of the "three rural" issues as the "top priority" in the period of China's socialist modernization.
It is worth noting that in document No. 1 of 2024!
It was mentioned for the first timeSupport the strengthening of rural fertilityIt also requires this infant and child care service, and does a good job of this care service for migrant children, left-behind children, women, the elderly, and the disabled.
This is also a documentFor the first time, rural births will be madeIncluded in the work arrangement, it can be seen that the state has also begun to pay attention.
On January 17, 2024, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the 2023 national population data was released:
At the end of the year, the national population was 140967 million, a decrease of 2.08 million from the end of the previous year. The annual birth population was 9.02 million and the death population was 11.1 million!
Mortality rate of the population is 787%, and the natural growth rate of the population is minus 148%。
This is since 2022Population growth was negative for the second time.
This means that our population is continuing to decrease!
The declining number of new births means that we are aging ahead of schedule.
The issue of fertility is indeed a big problemHow to solve it is also a problem related to the development and survival of this country.
Let's look at the first document that was put forward for the first timeEncourage rural fertilityDoes this mean that the burden of childbirth should be shifted to the countryside? What about hoping that farmers will have more children?
So is this possible? We don't know!
Before we talk about fertility, we must first find outReasons for low fertilityWhat is it and what is it due to?
1. Stable income, it determines whether you can get married smoothly, and the happiness of marriage determines the problem of childbirth. Only happiness will give birth to children!
If you don't have the ability to make money, don't rush to get married.
Without a stable income, even if you enter the palace of marriage, it will be very difficult to live later!
Just imagine that you have to make money every day when you wake up. Running around for life, and living on your own are stretched, naturally you won't think about having children, right?
In addition, in the past few years, the general environment is not very good!
Starbucks users fell from 4 million to 2 million. Haidilao closed 300 stores and survived with broken arms.
The once top "little bit" stores in many places were closed, and the number of new stores continued to decline. There used to be thirty or forty cups of Hey Tea and Nai Xue, but now it only costs more than 10 pieces!
Even the once giants of the industry are no longer in the limelightNot to mention the lives of ordinary people!
So come to a conclusion: everyone really has no money!
In addition to the subjective factors above, like:The cost of living is high, the cost of parenting is high, the cost of education is high, and the cost of medical care is high.
Most families are basically burdened with housing loans and car loans, which are important reasons for the low fertility rate!
So is it feasible to shift the encouragement and support of childbirth to rural areas?
Looking at the comments of netizens, I was silent!
1. Capital cuts ordinary people's leeks, over and over again, how can there be a chance to breathe.
2. Maybe you have caught the peasants and worked hard, and all the sixty-year-old peasants who paid 130 yuan a month thanked you.
3. I went to the countryside and learned that many young men are singles and can't find a daughter-in-law. In addition, most of the rural areas are now mostly this old man, how can they give birth? A pound of corn is more than 8 cents, what to raise?
4. Is there this maternity leave for rural birth? Is there a subsidy?
5. If you don't give birth in the city, you let the countryside live, how many people are going to school in this rural area now?
So after reading so many reviews, it is not difficult for us to conclude that:It doesn't work!
The reason? I've also summed it up.
1. The hollowing out of rural areas is serious, and young people with fertility have basically gone out to work, and the rest are left-behind elderly people and children.
2. The security system is very inadequate, the cost of raising children in rural areas is also high, and there is a shortage of education and medical resources. These are all important obstacles to the implementation of policies!
As more and more young people from rural areas migrate to cities, the rural population is aging even higher than in this city.
Rural economic development lags behind that of urban areas, as does reproductive knowledge and infant care services.
In the past, fertility was much higher in rural areas than in urban areas, but in recent yearsFertility rates in rural areas are also declining.
So here's the problem, if you don't take some practical action, it is estimated that you will be encouraged not to move!
What about the criteria for this subsidy?
If you don't subsidize tens of thousands of dollars, it is estimated that everyone will be indifferent!
To increase the desire to have children in rural areas?
If not resolvedFree medical care for the elderly, free education for primary and secondary schoolsI am afraid that all wishes are just wishes.
Those who have the ability to give birth continue to live, and those who do not have the ability will not give birth, which encourages loneliness in the end.
