With a 59 year net increase in population in 2020, why are people reluctant to have children now?

Because young people of school-age now have a lot of pressure, work pressure, housing and car loans, so the age of marriage is late, even if they get married, they only consider having one child, because now the child-rearing pressure is high and the burden is heavy.

Because the pressure on young people is relatively high now, there will be pressure to buy a house, the pressure to buy a car, and the quality of life will decline after having children, so they are reluctant to have children.

Because there are many people who feel that having a child is very expensive, and there are also many people who feel that having a child is very painful, so this situation will occur.

Because many people feel that their pressure after giving birth to a child is doubled, and it is very likely that they will not be able to bring a good life to their children.

Because of the current social pressure, many people can't even support themselves, let alone raise children.

This is an increase of 480,000 from the end of the previous year, rather than only 480,000 births.

China's population growth slowed down in 2021, an increase of 480,000 over the end of the previous year: At the end of 2021, the national population (including the population of 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and active military personnel, excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents and foreigners living in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) was 1412.6 million, an increase of 480,000 over the end of the previous year, and the natural population growth rate was. In terms of gender composition, the male population was 723.11 million and the female population was 689.49 million, and the sex ratio of the total population was 100 females.

In terms of age composition, the working-age population aged 16-59 is 882.22 million, accounting for the proportion of the national population; The population aged 60 and over is 267.36 million, accounting for the national population, of which 200.56 million are aged 65 and above, accounting for the national population. A reporter from China City Daily inquired about the data of "China Statistical Yearbook 2021" and found that in the past decade, the natural population growth rate in 2012 was the highest, reaching a difference of nearly 7,000 points compared with 2021. Since 2016, China's natural population growth rate has been declining sharply every year.

In 2021, the number of women of childbearing age decreased by about 8 million: in 2021, the annual birth population was 10.62 million, and the birth rate of the population was ; The number of deaths was 10.14 million, and the mortality rate of the population was. Overall, in 2021, China's population maintained a steady growth, but the number of births decreased compared with the previous year, and the birth rate declined, about 1 lower than the birth rate in 2020.

The problem of declining births is the result of a combination of factors. There are three main reasons for this:

First, the number of women of childbearing age continues to decline. In 2021, the number of women of childbearing age aged 15-49 decreased by about 5 million compared with the previous year, of which the number of women of childbearing age aged 21-35 decreased by about 3 million.

Second, the fertility level continued to decline. In recent years, the concept of childbearing has changed, the age of marriage and childbearing is also delayed, and some other factors in the cost of childbearing have increased, and the willingness of young people to have children has decreased.

Third, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has also postponed the marriage and childbearing arrangements of young people to a certain extent. A number of international surveys and studies have found that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the fertility level in many countries and regions has declined. In 2020, the number of births in Japan decreased compared to the previous year, and the number of births in South Korea also decreased compared to the previous year.

Hello, the number of births has reached a new low, and the main reasons why young people are reluctant to have babies are as follows:

1. The cost of living is under great pressure. With the development of society, people's cost of living is constantly rising, from surviving in the past to living well now, for young people, the continuous increase in the cost of living has made many young people shy away from getting married and having children. If a person can't even live a good life on his own, how can he think of having children?

Unless it is extremely irresponsible.

2. Decrease in fertility intention. With the increase in the cost of living and the influence of various ideas, young people's willingness to have children is decreasing. Many people will feel that they can't live a good life, so how can they raise their children well?

On the other hand, with the improvement of knowledge level and cultural quality, the fertility willingness of highly educated people is gradually decreasing, which is a general trend. People have become less willing to have children, and more willing to live their current lives well.

3. It is a normal development trend. Because of family planning, the post-90s and post-00s generations are relatively small, so there are fewer young people of marriageable age and suitable for childbearing, and there are fewer young people, and the natural fertility rate and the number of children will decrease. With the gradual liberalization of the birth policy, it may reverse the trend of continuous decline in the birth rate to some extent.

Today's young people not only have higher requirements for childbirth, but also have high expectations for parenting, not only to give birth to children, but also to raise children well.

Times have changed dramatically now, and it is not a few decades ago that a family could have had multiple children. First of all, it is important to note that the cost of raising children is too high.

From birth to school, a can of milk powder costs a few hundred yuan, which is already very expensive, after all, if an adult goes to work, he will earn one or two hundred a day, so it is enough to go out and earn two days of wages for a child, let alone give birth to twins. Secondly, when children go to school, there are a lot of tuition fees, plus living expenses, one child is fine, if there is one more, it will make the family who is not rich even worse. Although the current nine-year compulsory education can greatly reduce the burden on a family, it cannot withstand the toss of a few children.

In addition, the marriage and childbirth of children is a lot of expenses, in our often say, a boy is a million, this sentence profoundly illustrates the problem, if you want a child to get married, you need so much money. First of all, the car, house, and bride price add up to six or seven hundred thousand, and it is another expense to hold a wedding. In fact, if a person enters the society early and drops out of school relatively early, he can still get a lot of money, so that a newly graduated college student has no money, even if it is a work-study program, the whole money is a drop in the bucket, and it is good to only take care of himself.

He had just graduated, and he didn't have that much money on him, and most of them were quite old after graduation, and if he went to work to earn money, he would waste several years. But if you don't go to work, you can get married directly, but it still doesn't work, there is no money, there is no way.

Looking at a few decades ago, there were several people in a family, the children were all thrifty and grew up, the clothes worn by the eldest were left for the second child to wear, and there were holes in the clothes, so they picked up the needle and sewed and mended it for another three years, so they didn't say that they didn't want this dress, they lost it. When I was young, there were 6 brothers and sisters in the family, and I was the fifth in the family. However, due to my physical condition, I didn't eat much at that time, and I was relatively thin, so my mother often secretly hid a steamed bun for me, and kept it for me when I was alone.

1.The first aspect: the economic pressure is greater, and there are too many practical problems to consider.

With the increasing pressure on housing prices and survival, young people now have a basic life that is not guaranteed to a certain extent, let alone combine families and have children. What's more, childcare is also expensive these days. Unlike the children in the past, as long as they ensure food and drink, everything will be fine, but now children have to participate in many extracurricular tutoring classes, such as some early education classes and talent classes, and the cost has increased greatly.

In first-tier cities, whether it is the school district or the difficulty of children in school, it is a problem that parents are worried about.

The second aspect: life is stressful. Nowadays, raising a child requires a lot of financial and material resources, and it also requires a certain amount of mental pressure for parents.

They don't grow up all of a sudden, but they need all the effort and energy of their parents to nurture them. Especially for a mother, from the beginning of pregnancy, her life is almost only a child. Before having a baby, she could go out shopping with friends in her free time, but after giving birth, it completely destroyed all social interaction and took up all her personal time.

Therefore, today's young people, when they feel lonely, are more willing to choose pets as their emotional sustenance, but raising a child is not the same as having a pet, when the decision is made to give birth to a child, it means that young parents must grow up quickly, at least to withstand the pressure of the next few decades, and young people are more willing to focus this energy on their lives before they are ready for all this.

In fact, this should not be a problem, because the answer to this question has been passed by many people. As far as our circle of friends is concerned, the top students of that year were admitted to the 985211 and chose to stay in the big city. Don't look at them on the way to study, because of IQ, because of the reason for being willing to endure hardships, it is smooth, but once you want to settle in a big city, it is really a lot of effort, first of all, the first step, you have to fight your way out of thousands of thousands, and you can get an offer from your favorite company.

The next thing is to fight for the house. For the sake of the mortgage, you must be able to endure any hardship and any sin, not to mention that this is suitable for the quality of life? Rushing forward desperately for the sake of the house, it is estimated that young people will not feel tired, but at the same time, they are certainly not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of life.

Okay, it's time to get married, can you meet your favorite lover, in the fiercely competitive large and medium-sized cities, is love also mixed with money considerations, human calculations? Even if you are lucky enough to meet a pure love, you must always work hard for your love nest. Tired enough, housing loans, car loans, and even the pressure of work and life, they can't breathe, do they have another child to increase the burden?

That may be the last feather that weighs down the camel. After that, 985211, let's talk about the people who stayed in the fourth and fifth tier towns. Compared with big cities, people who stay in small cities in the fourth and fifth tiers are more willing to have children.

But not all of the people who stay in the fourth and fifth tier cities are willing to have children, and now they have given birth to one or even two children, at least one of them is in the system, and at least one of the parents is healthy and financially well-off, and can and is willing to lend a hand to help small families take care of their children. If this condition is not met, people living in small cities in the fourth and fifth tier may postpone their plans to have children, and only consider having children after ensuring that their jobs are stable and their financial guarantees are guaranteed. After giving birth to a child, there must be education problems, school district housing, specialty fees, make-up fees, etc., today's young people are different from their parents a few decades ago, especially the only generation of mothers, more emphasis on self-worth, affirmation of self-value realization, thinking about life, thinking more than the fathers.

So I want to solve this problem, one, the housing price problem, and the second education problem. If these two major problems are solved, and if there is still room to spare, the employment problem of young people will be solved, and I believe that by then, the situation will be far different.

The fertility rate is decreasing year by year, which is the trend of human civilization. The development of the economy, the improvement of cultural life. Nowadays, young people pursue a high-quality life, live a romantic world for two, abandon the traditional customs of inheritance, and have a negative attitude towards childbearing.

The number of births in many provinces has hit a 10-year low, which is enough to show that young people are of high quality, pursue a comfortable and comfortable life, and do not want to be bound by marriage and children, and have babies to drag down the quality of life.

At present, the housing prices are high, the cost of living is huge, the pace of life is fast, the competition in the workplace is fierce, the employment form is not optimistic, and the factors such as education and medical care make the young people under great mental pressure. I don't want to have children, and I am afraid of having children.

The cost of having a child is huge, and there are more than 1 million in isolation from birth to study to university, which is a huge pressure on ordinary working-class young people.

Originally, getting married, buying a house, and buying a car cost a huge amount of financial and economic resources, and even consumed the parents' life savings. If you have another child, you will be overwhelmed. Under this kind of thinking, many young people consider not having children. As a result, the fertility rate has become a trend that has been declining year by year.

The cost of living is large, and I dare not give birth if I want to.

In fact, ask the young people around you carefully, do they really not want to have children? It's not, but I don't dare to give birth if I want to. Like a friend of mine, she actually likes children, and asked her why she didn't want to have a second child, and she said that she was worried that she wouldn't be able to raise it.

Because, her husband's monthly salary is 10,000, her monthly salary is 5,000, and the two of them have a total income of 20,000. Then, I have to repay more than 6,000 mortgages every month, more than 7,000 education expenses for my children, plus more than 3,000 living expenses, and 1,000 for each of my parents.

Indeed, the cost of living is too big now, because the prices are high, the housing prices are high, and the wages are not rising much. Young people sometimes can't even take care of their own lives, and even have to reach out to "gnaw at the old", how dare they have children easily? After giving birth to a child, it is old and young, and life will only be more difficult.

I can't bring it myself when I'm born, and I'm reluctant to give it to the old man.

In addition, there is now another question, that is, who will take the baby after giving birth. Modern education advocates that parents should spend more time with their children, but now mothers also have to work to make money and maintain financial independence. Handed over to the elderly and reluctant, not assured, and the elderly with a baby have many problems, either the concept of parenting can not keep up, or the child to develop some bad habits, or there is no way to tutor the child's homework.

Therefore, many young people are not fully prepared and really dare not have babies easily.

Now the concept of education has changed, and it is no longer the same as before, so that children can be fed and clothed. Nowadays, young people are very concerned about education, not only to provide children with better educational resources, but also to pay more attention to children's mental health, love and companionship. Young people will not have children blindly if they cannot be given enough love.

Life attitude and pursuit of change, I don't want to live for my children for the rest of my life.

The last reason is that today's young people are different from their parents in the past, and the older generation of parents are busy all their lives, all for their children. However, young people nowadays have their own attitudes and pursuits towards life, and they don't want to live for their children all their lives. So, they either don't have children and do dink for the rest of their lives, or they only have one child, so that life is easier.

A generation has a generation's thoughts, and it cannot be said that young people are selfish, but it can only be said that they know how to enjoy and understand life better than the older generation of parents. However, the acceleration of aging and the decline in fertility are indeed very worrying. Therefore, if you are a young person with conditions, you should have a child or give birth, and don't wait until you are old to regret it.
