Now many people say that they are stressed, so they can't get married and can't have children. So just in terms of having a child, how much does it cost for a child to graduate from birth to graduation, that is, from 0 to 17 years old? Recently, a population economist published an article saying that it will cost an average of 680,000! After reading this data, I am afraid that I will scare off a wave of couples who have not yet given birth, and frighten a wave of young people who are not yet married.
Of course, some people are also dismissive of this, looking back at their grandparents, how much did they spend growing up? At the age of 0 to 17 years old, going to school plus eating and drinking is not to mention hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, thousands of people are afraid that they have reached the top.
But we have to take into account that the current society is very different. Raising children is no longer a joke, in addition to basic eating, drinking and education, it is also necessary to provide the necessary material satisfaction to the child. For example, how much does a mobile phone cost? How much does clothing cost per year? Previously, a suit of clothes could be worn for a long time, and even if it was broken, it could be repaired. But is it okay now? I'm afraid it won't work. In addition, eating, drinking, education, and education are very different from before.
When we start counting from before the birth of the child, raising a child requires the parents to have a pre-pregnancy and prenatal medical examination, and then the expenses at the time of delivery must also be prepared, and of course, the postpartum recovery expenses of the child's mother will also be paid. After the birth of the child, baby care products, baby food, insurance, etc. are not arranged? The infant stage is no longer something that can be fooled with a mouthful of breast milk before, and for the safety of the child, all aspects of insurance and physical examination are also indispensable.
When the child is a little older, it is necessary to consider the problem of his schooling. Although our country has nine-year compulsory education, the tuition fee is drizzle compared to other surcharges. For example, extracurricular tutoring classes, tools to assist children in learning, clothes and food, etc., are not a small expense.
In general, if you want to raise a child well, it is not something that ordinary families can afford, especially in cities with higher prices. So what do you want to do to change that? In my opinion, it is necessary for the state to improve the welfare of childbirth. Because although the five insurances already have maternity insurance, there are not many that can be enjoyed. In this case, there should be some additional benefits. In the infant stage, the state should also control all kinds of products for infants and young children, and not let the ** be too high.
But in any case, the status quo is such a status quo, and it costs an average of 680,000 yuan to raise a baby from the undergraduate graduation to the current stage.
