Reducing the burden on families: a new perspective on social security from the younger generation
In the discussion of strengthening social security in 2024, reducing the burden of childbirth, parenting, and education on families has become a core topic. The proposal of this topic not only reflects the country's deep concern for the well-being of families, but also reflects the widespread concern of the current society about the life pressure of the younger generation. Mr. Bai Yansong's views provide us with a new perspective for understanding this issue.
Mr. Bai Yansong believes that the younger generation should first be concerned about reducing the burden on families. This is because the younger generation is the future of the family, and the reduction of their burden will directly benefit the entire family, including the older members. By criticizing the use of the term "gnawing at the old", he pointed out a misunderstanding of society's responsibility for young people. In his view, the phenomenon of "gnawing at the old" is actually a manifestation of the lack of social support for young people, rather than the problem of young people themselves.
Indeed, the current social environment has put unprecedented pressure on young people. Problems such as high housing prices, job competition, and children's education have left many young people feeling powerless. In this case, the family becomes their last safe haven, and the elderly often play the role of supporters. However, this support should not be taken for granted, and society has a responsibility to create better conditions for young people to be able to take on the responsibilities of the family independently.
To achieve this, we need to start on a number of fronts. First of all, we should increase investment in housing security, provide more affordable housing and affordable housing for young people, and reduce their housing burden. Second, we need to strengthen the construction of public service facilities such as nurseries to help young people solve the problem of child care. In addition, the employment and career development of young people should be promoted through measures such as job training and entrepreneurship support.
Of course, reducing the burden on young people does not mean ignoring the needs of other age groups. A healthy society should be one in which all ages are cared for and supported. However, we must recognize that the younger generation is the future and hope of society, and their sense of happiness and gain will directly affect the stability and development of the entire society. Therefore, in the process of reducing the burden on families, we need to give more attention and support to the younger generation.
While reducing the burden on the younger generation, we cannot ignore the importance of family education. Family education is an important part of a child's growth and a part of the family's burden. Therefore, we need to help young parents better take responsibility for parenting by providing more homeschooling guidance and support.
* Professional family education counseling courses can be organized to teach young parents scientific parenting knowledge and methods. At the same time, schools and social organizations can also actively participate in the construction of family education support systems, and provide parents with necessary help and resources. Through these measures, we can improve the parenting ability of young parents and reduce their burden of homeschooling.
In addition, we need to focus on equity in education. The uneven distribution of educational resources is an important reason for the increase of the burden of family education. Some families have to bear the high cost of education and various additional burdens in order for their children to receive a better education. Therefore, it is necessary to increase investment in the field of education, promote the balanced distribution of educational resources, and provide fair educational opportunities for all children.
At the same time, all sectors of society should also actively participate in the development of education. Enterprises can support education by setting up scholarships, grants, etc.; Social organizations can carry out various educational public welfare activities to provide more educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups. Through these joint efforts, we can build a more equitable and inclusive educational environment and reduce the burden on families.
Reducing the burden on families is a systematic project, which requires the joint efforts of society, society and individuals. We should start from the needs of the younger generation and create a better living environment and development space for them through policy support, social care and personal efforts. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the importance of family education and promote the realization of educational equity. Only in this way can we truly reduce the burden on the family so that every member of the family can enjoy happiness and tranquility.
