Recently, the fertility rate in East Asia has dropped to the lowest in the world and has once again rushed to the hot search, and the "commonplace" topic of how to stimulate young people to have children has once again aroused heated discussions.

In 2022, the Chinese population began to grow negatively, it is the first negative growth since 1949 except for the three-year period of natural disasters, although we are a large population, but the Chinese population dividend is about to end, is about to face the situation of "getting old before getting rich", although now the country has vigorously introduced various policies, "second child", "third child" have also been released, but now it seems that there is little effect, in the end, this method can only be a symptom but not a cure, having children can not only rely on a small number of people to participate in this matter, but need the participation of the whole people, How to make young people not afraid of marriage, not tired of marriage, and want to get married is something that needs to be solved urgently!

A few days ago, the Yuwa Population Research Think Tank released the "China Marriage and Family Report 2023 Edition", disclosing the current situation of marriage and family in China, and the report pointed out that the number of marriage registrations in China has declined for nine consecutive years. In China, marriage is still an important foundation for childbearing, and not getting married means not having children. Due to the development of today's society, college graduates are already 23 years old, poor and white college students have a material basis to get married, and the time of marriage is bound to be delayed, and people have already given birth to children at the age of 23 in the past, and now even more even choose not to get married, which will inevitably lead to a decline in fertility.

So how to increase young people's desire to marry and have children? According to international experience, only the real gold of the raising subsidy can really solve the problem, this kind of subsidy is not to be seen and touched, but the real gold can fall into the hands of people. For example, in Russia, children will receive a monthly subsidy of 12,000 rubles (about 1,300 yuan) for 3 years; Italy: provide subsidies to parents of children, with a maximum amount of 240 euros (about 1,870 yuan), from the 7th month after pregnancy until the child reaches the age of 18, and provide a one-time subsidy of 800 euros per child (about 6,000 yuan) for parents of newborn babies; Sweden: The couple has a total of 480 days of paid maternity leave, and also provides subsidies for childcare, while parents can also receive a monthly subsidy of 1,250 crowns (about 960 yuan), up to a maximum bonus of 135,000 crowns. (About RMB 9.)50,000).

In short, only by increasing the marriage rate will the fertility rate be increased, the worries about getting married and having children will be reduced, and the problem of low fertility will be solved. Those who are financially rich will have several children without encouragement, and those who are financially strapped can't afford to get married, so what can they talk about having children?
