In recent years, the term "gnawing the old" has gradually become the focus of **, and it seems that the younger generation has been burdened with too many undeserved crimes.
Recently, Bai Yansong agreed with the "Views on Reducing Family Burdens in the 2024 Social Security Policy" in an interview with the "News 1+1" program of ** TV station, and emphasized that the first thing to do is to reduce the burden on the younger generation.
It can be said that this point of view speaks to the pain points of the current society.
So, is it really young people who are "gnawing" at the old? Or are there deficiencies in social structure and institutional design, so that young people have to rely on family support?
We have to admit that today's young people are facing unprecedented challenges, with high housing prices, rising education costs, and fierce competition for jobs, ......These pressures are like mountains, weighing them down.
In my opinion, it is not only necessary but also urgent to reduce the burden on families, especially for the younger generation.
It is undeniable that the issue of housing prices has always been a big mountain on the minds of young people. In many cities, housing prices are soaring beyond the reach of the average household. Young people who are just entering the society often do not have enough savings to cover the high down payment and monthly payment, and this is when family support is particularly important.
But this kind of support does not mean that young people are "gnawing at the old", but that they are forced by social reality.
This can also be seen from another angle, ** needs to increase efforts to regulate housing prices, provide more affordable housing and affordable housing, so that young people can be financially independent, reduce the burden on families.
In addition to housing prices, the lack of childcare facilities such as nurseries and nurseries is also a major problem for young people. In many cities, quality childcare is scarce and expensive, and many young couples are too busy to take care of their children themselves, so they have to leave their children in the care of the elderly. This also makes many people regard this as another form of young people "gnawing at the old".
Seriously, with the increase in life pressure, many young generations choose to return to their parents and live a life of "companionship gnawing the old". Perhaps they are saving on the cost of living, or they can't find a suitable job, or they are simply enjoying time with their families, which has led to this controversial lifestyle.
If the employment of young people is relatively smooth, and wages are increasing, then there is no need for the elderly to subsidize them.
Personally, I feel that if there is really the word "gnawing the old", it should also be placed on those giant babies who do not ask for work, do not work hard, are greedy for pleasure, and rely on their parents to survive. For those who work hard to live, but have limited conditions and need short-term support from their parents, this is not called "gnawing the old".
No one grows up, and they can completely get rid of the help of their parents, not only money, but also help to bring grandchildren and help make suggestions.
Therefore, in fact, we have not done enough for young people, but we insist on inventing the word "gnawing the old", and it has become as if these responsibilities are all on the young people.
Of course, it cannot be denied that some young people are overly dependent on their families, but this is not a common phenomenon and should not be the object of public criticism and criticism.
Instead, we should pay more attention to and understand the dilemmas and challenges faced by these young people, and help them find solutions and ways to solve them.
If we want society to be good, we must understand young people, sympathize with young people, empathize with young people, and support young people!
