"The cost of raising a child in China is almost the highest in the world! ”
This sentence is not said casually, but by a team of experts such as population economist Liang Jianzhang and other experts to release the "China Fertility Cost Report 2024 Edition" to show the conclusion.
Why?
Through research analysis, the report concludes the following:
The cost of raising a child aged 0 to 17 years old in a family is 53 on average80,000 yuan; The average cost of raising children from the age of 0 to the age of undergraduate is 680,000 yuan.
According to urban and rural areas, the average cost of raising an urban child aged 0 17 is 6670,000 yuan; 0 The average cost of raising a 17-year-old in rural Haizhu is 3650,000 yuan.
Compared with the previous ** ten years of raising children, although the material and economic conditions at that time were not very good, it seems that most of the children who grew up at that time are now considered to be "bearing fruit".
In view of the reasons for the soaring cost of child rearing over the years, the following points have been summarized by looking at the information;
First, the economy is developing rapidly, prices are rising, and the currency is depreciating
Nowadays, the country is in a stage of rapid development, and with the joint efforts of countless ancestors, it has finally unlocked "new achievements" and become a powerful country that is now attracting the attention of the world.
Second, the people's cognitive level has improved, and the concept of green health has changed
From the past when everyone did not have enough to eat and did not eat well to today's healthy and unhealthy food, the contradiction between national demand and productivity has also prompted a change in the way a new generation of parents raise their children, hoping that their own suffering will not be suffered by their children.
Third, science and technology continue to innovate, and scientific and technological means emerge in an endless stream
For example, Ma Yun's Ali, or Ma Huateng's WeChat, etc., the paper currency has been turned electronic, and the people's concept of money is no longer really in their hands, but as a simple number of February** dynamic incentive plan, and it will not hurt at all to spend, let alone the accustomed means of early consumption.
However, although the living conditions are better now, it seems that the spiritual world of children today is not rich enough, although the children did not have mobile phones, computers and other electronic products, but there are many games between friends, and the country seems to be very "uniform" to play.
Finally, I think that although the cost of raising children is high nowadays, each era has the characteristics of each era, as long as the children can be healthy and well-educated, it is the characteristics of this era!
