If we can seize the opportunity and try to stand on the cusp of the wind, then even if we don't succeed, at least we can get twice the result with half the effort. As it stands, these trends are becoming more and more prominent.
Some people predict that if there is no accident in 2025, there may be 6 major trends of change in China!
The problem of pension pressure in ordinary families is likely to be gradually alleviated.
Nowadays, some people are lamenting the pressure of pension, as for the pressure of pension, in fact, the most important thing to look at is two factors, one is how much they have savings? Another factor is how much is the pension each month? Is it enough to spend?
For people who have not paid social security and cannot receive social security pension, then the most important solution to their pension pressure is their own savings. However, for the balance of social security pension, as long as you spend enough money every month, then the pension pressure will not be too great.
And from the data point of view, pensions have been rising in recent years, 5% in 2018, 5% in 2019, 5% in 2020, 4.5% in 2021, 3.8% in 2022, and 3% in 2024.
Schools and brick-and-mortar stores, these two industries are likely to close their doors even more.
Can a school continue to open? One of the main factors is whether there are enough students, and if the number of students is getting smaller, then the school is getting closer and closer to closing. The total number of births is decreasing, which means that the number of students is getting smaller and smaller. And we're now urbanizing. A lot of people are moving to the cities, and there are fewer and fewer students in their rural areas, so it will be even more obvious that the schools that are open in the rural areas are closing.
Of course, not only schools, but also many traditional brick-and-mortar stores are facing the problem of closure. Because there are some intermediate links in the physical store, and the house price is very expensive, the rent of the shop will not be too cheap, as well as labor costs, water and electricity bills, etc., which makes the total cost of the physical store a lot, because the cost is high, so the price is also high.
Nowadays, many people lament that money is not easy to make, so it is even more possible to save as much as possible. Relatively speaking, if you shop, more people will gradually prefer e-commerce shopping.
Older leftover women refuse to lower their requirements, and older leftover men don't chase girls, so this group of people who are very old and not married will have more older leftover men and women, and gradually prepare for not getting married for the rest of their lives.
Looking at so many older leftover men and women today, plus so many divorced people, it already shows that many people are not as eager for so-called marriage as they used to be.
Nowadays, it doesn't matter if a man is looking for a partner, or a woman is looking for a partner. Basically, I don't want to wronged myself, I don't want to settle in love, anyway, I feel that I would rather lack than abuse, I would rather live alone for a lifetime, and I don't want to live with an inappropriate person, barely making do.
As the requirements for girls to marry are getting higher and higher, it is becoming more and more difficult for many boys with relatively ordinary conditions to find a partner. Now many older leftover men gradually don't want to go on a blind date very much, because they feel that even if they go on a blind date, there is a high probability that there will be no result, so they simply don't go. The key is that many girls are quite old, but they still refuse to lower their requirements. Therefore, among this group of older leftover men and women who have not yet married, it is estimated that there will be many people who will not marry in their lifetime.
If AI continues to develop like this, the pressure on employment may be even greater.
I've always felt that AI products should be used to serve humans. For example, all kinds of smart homes help us with housework, so that we can have more free time, to play with our phones, play games, or do other things. But once AI products enter the workplace, it's a big difference. If more and more jobs are replaced by these automated machines, how can ordinary workers who do not have a skill, the pressure to find a job will be greater.
The phenomenon of "no more than three generations poor" will become more obvious.
Nowadays, many people are looking for a partner, even if they don't put the material in the first place, but they will also consider the material conditions, like the kind of poor boys, it is not easy to find a partner, even if they find a partner, if they can't meet the other party's marriage requirements, such as bride price, car, house, etc. Then it is very difficult to get married, and the probability of breaking up in the end is relatively high. If you can't marry a wife, you won't be able to have children, and maybe you will really be "poor for three generations".
Many industries are slowly becoming less involuted.
There is a word called "things must be reversed", I think it is also very suitable to be used here, once it is too involuted, then more and more people will find that they can't roll up at all, and they will slowly lie flat. When more and more people lie flat, the so-called involution phenomenon will gradually ease.
