With the continuous development of society, people's living standards are also constantly improving. However, there has been a worrying phenomenon in recent years-fewer and fewer children. This phenomenon not only exists in a certain region, but also is a global problem.

The change of fertility concept

With the change of social concept, many young people's reproductive concept has also changed. On the one hand, some young people postpone giving birth, concentrate on their own careers and pursue personal development and quality of life; On the other hand, some people choose not to have children because they can't bear the responsibility of raising children because of economic pressure and work pressure.

Raising costs are high

With the development of social economy, the cost of raising children is getting higher and higher. From health care, education and medical treatment during pregnancy to housing and marriage after adulthood, all these require huge economic investment. Many families choose not to have children or only have one child because they can't afford these expenses.

The improvement of gender equality consciousness

With the improvement of gender equality awareness, many women no longer only bear the responsibility of giving birth to children, but pursue personal career and freedom. In order to pursue personal development and freedom, these women are more inclined to choose not to have children or have fewer children.

The deterioration of environmental problems

The aggravation of environmental problems such as environmental pollution and climate change has made many young people full of worries about the future. They think that having children will increase the burden on the earth, so they choose not to have children or have fewer children.

According to statistics, the global birth rate has been declining in recent years. In China, the population born in 20 19 is only14.65 million, which is 10 million less than that in 20 18. At the same time, China's total fertility rate has also dropped to the lowest level in history. Other countries such as Japan and South Korea are facing the same problem.

There are many reasons why there are fewer and fewer children now. From the change of social concept to the increase of economic pressure and the aggravation of environmental problems, the fertility of young people will be affected. To solve this problem, we need to start from many aspects, including changing the concept of childbearing, reducing the cost of parenting, raising the awareness of gender equality, improving environmental problems and so on. Only in this way can more young people be willing to have children and take up the responsibility of raising children.
