In the context of this era, all kinds of information are numerous and complex, forming an intricate network society. Recently, the editor watched a promotional video about the three-child policy and had deep thoughts about it. The film reveals the country\’s concerns about the current demographic structure and the complex mentality of young people facing fertility issues.
1. The historical transformation from family planning to the three-child policy
In my childhood memories, family planning is the cornerstone policy of the country, advocating \”fewer births and better education\”, and the people must strictly follow it. There are slogans in the streets and alleys to highlight the importance of this move. However, as time goes by, with the progress of society and the problem of population aging, the country has changed its strategy and switched from birth control to encouraging childbirth. This change is not only a policy adjustment, but also a positive response to the needs of social development.
2. Changes in the attitude of the younger generation towards childbirth
Today’s younger generation, especially those born in the 1980s and 1990s, grew up in an environment with abundant materials and rapid development of information. They have a unique outlook on life and fertility. Their treatment of fertility is no longer simply about procreating offspring, but more about the quality of life and individual growth. From observation, many young people are cautious about having children and are more inclined to improve the quality of life and realize self-worth.
3. Social aging and the pressure on young people in the future
As those born in the 1970s and 1980s gradually enter their old age, the pressure on young people has become increasingly heavy. They may have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting two or more elderly people, which puts them under tremendous pressure both financially and physically. In the face of changes in social structure, how to alleviate the burden of the younger generation through reasonable policy adjustments has undoubtedly become one of the severe challenges currently faced.
4. Publicity and practical effects of the three-child policy
Although the country actively promotes the three-child policy and intensifies publicity efforts, judging from the implementation, it is still unable to achieve the preset goals. This situation prompted me to have a deeper understanding of policy implementation: policy implementation does not rely solely on publicity, but also needs to be based on reality and solve people\’s worries about childbirth, such as reducing education costs and improving the medical and social security systems.
5. DINK’s new outlook on life
In today\’s society, many people choose DINKLife. They believe that if they cannot provide good living conditions for their children, having children will be regarded as a lack of responsibility. Although this concept deviates from the traditional view of fertility, it reflects the public\’s desire for quality of life in today\’s society. Regarding this kind of phenomenon, how we should treat it and provide appropriate guidance is an issue worth pondering.
6. Social Pressure and Reproductive Choice
In the current social environment, young people are under multiple pressures, such as rising living costs, intensifying competition in the workplace, and uncertainty about the future, which have led them to be cautious about fertility issues. In order to effectively increase the fertility rate, we need to start by easing social pressure and create a more relaxed and stable living environment to support the younger generation.
7. The relationship between farmers’ old-age care and fertility
The problem of rural elderly care is often ignored in fertility issues, and this issue directly affects their fertility decisions. I believe that improving the current pension situation of farmers is not only a manifestation of social fairness and justice, but also increases the willingness to have children
