The phenomenon of modern young people's reluctance to have children after marriage: ** Root causes and countermeasures.

In modern society, more and more young people are choosing not to have children after marriage. This phenomenon has attracted widespread attention, and its prevalence seems to be increasing year by year. The purpose of this article is to analyze the root causes of this phenomenon, analyze its impact on society and families, and how to deal with it.

First, we need to understand the reasons behind this phenomenon. The shift in traditional attitudes is an important factor. In the past, childbearing was considered a natural consequence of marriage, but now, more and more young people are pursuing personal and professional growth, and childbearing is seen as a burden that can hinder the achievement of these goals. In addition, the improvement of the status of women is also one of the reasons for this phenomenon. Nowadays, women are more focused on self-fulfillment and career development, and childbearing may have an impact on these. At the same time, the change in the perception of family responsibilities is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Modern young people pay more attention to the emotional bond and spiritual communication between husband and wife, rather than the traditional family roles and responsibilities.

This phenomenon has far-reaching implications for society and families. First, it had an impact on population policy. With the declining fertility rate, the problem of aging is becoming more and more serious, which puts tremendous pressure on the social welfare system and the pension system. In addition, it has had an impact on the perception of mate choice. In modern society, the criterion for choosing a mate is no longer just fertility, but more attention is paid to personal qualities and spiritual fit.

For these young people, the inner struggles and needs they face are also worth paying attention to. Many of them may have longed to have children of their own but have chosen not to have children for a variety of reasons. At the same time, they may also face family and social pressures and are perceived as incomplete families or people who are not fulfilling their responsibilities. Therefore, we should pay attention to the psychological needs of young people, respect their choices, and provide them with the necessary support and assistance.

In order to combat this phenomenon, ** and society should take a series of measures. First of all, policies should be adjusted to encourage young people to have children. This includes policy support in providing more childcare benefits, expanding the scale of childcare services, and reducing the burden on families. In addition, education and guidance for young people should also be strengthened to help them establish correct conceptions of childbearing and family values. At the same time, all sectors of society should also actively participate in publicity and education activities, break the shackles of traditional conceptions of childbearing, and provide a more relaxed social environment for young people.

To sum up, the reluctance of modern young people to have children after marriage is a complex social phenomenon. It is not only about balancing personal choices and social pressures, but also about shifts in cultural traditions and values. Therefore, society should work together to respect young people's right to choose and autonomy, and at the same time guide them to establish correct conceptions of childbearing and family values through adjusting policies and social propaganda. Only in this way can we find a way to balance modern ideas and traditional cultural values, and promote the harmonious and stable development of society.
