In the current period, the issue of fertility has become the focus of attention from all walks of life. In response to the challenges of an ageing population, a series of policies have been introduced to encourage young people to start families and have children. However, many practical barriers still affect people's decision-making, such as economic pressures, housing prices, bride price culture, etc., especially in large cities and rural areas.
In big cities, the high cost of living makes it difficult for young people to decide to get married and have children. In Beijing, for example, housing prices are high and life pressure is huge, and even white-collar workers can hardly afford the financial burden of getting married, buying a house, and maintaining a car. Under such circumstances, the idea of family planning was naturally postponed.
Rural areas face different problems. Although the cost of living for farmers is relatively low, the prevalence of bride price culture has discouraged many older young men. In some places, the bride price is ridiculously high, making it difficult for ordinary families to afford. This has also become a major obstacle to the marriage of young people in rural areas.
However, the practical effectiveness of the policy will still need time to be tested. For young people, in the face of so much pressure, getting married and having children is still a big issue that needs to be carefully considered. Therefore, all sectors of society need to work together to build a more inclusive and supportive social environment and reduce the burden on young people.
This includes, but is not limited to, changing society's traditional attitudes about marriage and childbearing, such as reducing the burden of bride price, providing more financial support to young families, and optimizing the allocation of educational resources to reduce the cost of education. At the same time, measures such as urban housing price control and social welfare optimization should also be promoted simultaneously, so that young people will have more confidence and ability to start a family, have children and raise children. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
