The first is economic factors. Although the living standards of these two generations have improved a lot from 1980s to 1990s, and their education level is higher than that of previous generations, the economic level is rising. Higher income, better job opportunities, but higher living expenses. High housing prices have become a lot of pain after 80 s and 90 s. Some people can't afford to buy a house all their lives and settle in first-tier cities. Some people's monthly living expenses are only enough for the basic expenses of work. When the economic conditions are not rich enough, young people dare to have children at will.
Second, the factors that breed fear. Nowadays, young people face fierce competition in the workplace and buying a house every day, and even children's study places have to compete. The economic cost, time cost and personal experience needed to raise children are not what the previous generation said? One more person and one more pair of chopsticks? So simple. In today's society, raising a child must compete with others for a good hospital and a good bed from the beginning of pregnancy. Children should worry about safe milk powder when they are born, and they should worry about early education and kindergarten when they are older. In addition, both news reports and word of mouth are intensifying young people's fear of childbirth and parenting.
Finally, there is a more enlightened factor. The post-80s and 90s generation grew up alone and received more open education in the process of education. Therefore, they are very different from the older generation in their concept of childbearing, and they are more pursuing the realization of self-worth than having to complete the task of carrying on the family line. Giving birth to a child is also based on harmonious family relations, rather than having to finish something at a certain age. Of course, these are not absolute factors, but for the post-80 s and post-90 s, the reluctance to have children is very complicated and diverse, which also reflects that society is more inclusive. We should respect every adult's choice based on his inner thoughts, as long as he can bear the consequences.
