The issue of reducing the burden of childbirth, parenting and education on families mentioned in the strengthening of social security in 2024 has attracted the attention of all sectors of society. In response to this topic, the famous host Bai Yansong expressed his profound insights.
He believes that the first priority should be to reduce the burden on the younger generation, as it will have a positive impact on the whole family. Bai Yansong mentioned the word "gnawing the old" and examined it. He pointed out that "gnawing at the old" seems to blame the laziness of the younger generation, but in fact it reflects the problem of society not providing enough support for young people. For example, high housing prices have led young people to need parental help with down payments and monthly payments, and inadequate nurseries and childcare centers have forced parents to travel long distances to care for their children. In addition, difficulties in finding employment and slow wage growth have also increased the financial burden on young people.
Bai Yansong called on society to pay more attention to the needs of the younger generation, not only to have compassion and empathy, but also to take practical measures to help them. He looks forward to giving priority to the issue of reducing the burden on young people at the upcoming two sessions, because solving the burden on young people will benefit the whole family.
This view has sparked heated discussions from all walks of life, and people have expressed their support for the creation of a better environment and conditions for the younger generation to grow up.
