In recent years, the problem of declining fertility has attracted widespread attention around the world. Particularly in large cities in some developed and developing countries, fertility rates are declining at an alarming rate. And the mainland is also facing such a problem, and many big Vs have discussed it. The reasons behind this trend are analyzed.
In fact, higher levels of education also have an impact on fertility. With the improvement of educational attainment, people pay more attention to the quality of children's education and the environment in which they grow up. Many parents believe that having a child requires a lot of time and effort to accompany and educate them. As a result, many families choose to have only one child or not to have children, taking into account the quality of education and personal energy.
And increasing the fertility rate has also become a problem that society needs to face, we can even see the big from the small, and see all this happening, for example, taking the second volume of the third grade of the people's education version of the "Ethics and the Rule of Law" textbook as an example, the cover change of the old and new versions has caused heated discussions among netizens.
The original family of three became a family of four, and a new baby was added to the stroller. Some netizens thought that this was instilling the concept of a second child in students, and expressed dissatisfaction with it. And some attentive netizens found more slots in the new version of the textbook, such as the kite in the hand of the "sister" is missing, and the smile of the parents has become reluctant. These changes were interpreted by netizens as a true portrayal of the life of the second-child family, which aroused widespread resonance.
The three old men playing Tai Chi behind them are also gone, and they were ridiculed by netizens for going out to work.
In fact, for highly educated people, especially college students, the hesitation about childbirth comes more from the dual pressure of employment and life. In their opinion, one child is enough to breathe, let alone another one. The era of "five, six, seven or eight children can live" has long been history.
Today's parents pay more attention to the quality of their children's training, emphasizing eugenics. Childbirth is no longer just about solving the problem of food and clothing, but also about providing children with a better living environment and educational resources, in order to cultivate them into useful talents for society. From kindergarten to college graduation, parents need to invest immeasurable time and material resources.
In order to encourage childbearing, some regions have enacted maternity subsidies. However, it did not cause much repercussions. Some netizens said that for families who can have three children, these subsidies are not enough to change their birth decisions, and for one-child families who need these subsidies, these contents cannot change their lives.
College students who have undergone higher quality education generally hold the concept of "eugenics, late marriage and late childbearing". They have a more rational and in-depth thinking about fertility issues. In today's increasingly fierce competition for talents, it has become a consensus that children must be born responsibly and cannot be easily allowed to grow. This makes college students more cautious and hesitant when faced with fertility issues.
Under the combined effect of multiple factors such as employment pressure, cost of living, and educational resources, college students' attitudes towards childbirth are becoming more and more negative. Even though the country has opened up the three-child policy, the actual problem is that many college students dare not even have one child. This is not only a matter of concept, but also a helpless choice under the pressure of reality.
At the same time, how to balance the relationship between two children in a two-child family is also a matter of concern. Parents should give Dabao more care and understanding, guide them to actively accept the arrival of Erbao, and jointly create a harmonious family atmosphere. Only in this way can every child grow up healthily under the nourishment of love. It can't be said that because the tuba didn't play well, all the pressure was put on the trumpet!
