Why did the birth rate drop when the second child was officially opened? Post-90s couples say why

Today, when the national economy is fully developed, in order to encourage young couples to have children, the country fully liberalized the two-child policy in 2015. According to expectations, China's birth rate should have a relatively significant increase, but this is not the case.

Statistics from relevant departments show that after the full liberalization of the two-child policy, China's birth rate did increase in 2016, with a year-on-year increase of 7.9%. However, in 2017, China's birth rate did not rise but fell, and the following years showed a downward trend.

This is how it happened? We might as well listen to the views of a post-90s couple.

Mr. Wang and his wife are both born in the 1990s. The two had established a relationship foundation when they were in college. They got married soon after graduation, and it has been 5 years since then.

In the second year after their marriage, Mr. Wang and his wife gave birth to a daughter. Although the two-child policy had been implemented at that time, after the birth of the daughter, the couple had no movement, which made both parents a little puzzled.

In the eyes of the older generation, ''more children'' means ''more happiness''. Now that the country implements the two-child policy, young people should seize the opportunity to have one more child. In this way, there is no need to worry about the old age life.

However, Mr. Wang and his wife did not think so, and they did not want to have a second child, but they actually had some difficulties.

According to Mr. Wang, he and his wife got married soon after graduation. The savings between husband and wife is actually very limited. In addition to buying a house, buying a car, and having a baby, their economic income and expenditure situation is not optimistic. If you listen to the elders and try to have a second child, you may not be able to raise them.

Of course, the decline in the birth rate is not controlled by Mr. Wang alone, which shows that most of the young couples born in the 1990s have some unspeakable secrets, which led to the emergence of this situation. So, what are the reasons why most post-90s couples are reluctant to have a second child or even a child?

The reasons for the decline in the birth rate

· The pressure of life is huge

Although in today's society, people's material living standards have been significantly improved, but this also brings the problem of huge living pressure.

Compared with the older generation, many post-90s couples have become house slaves and car slaves. Some people work hard for most of their lives and fail to buy a house. This kind of life pressure is really staggering and helpless.

In such a social situation, it is completely understandable that young couples are hesitant and hesitant to have children. After all, the birth of a child will mean more financial pressure on the family.

· The status of women has improved

With the development and progress of people's thinking, today's social status of women has been significantly improved compared to the past. Under this general trend, women have gradually come out of the single label of ''housewife'' and ''full-time wife'' and become ''independent women'' and ''workplace women''.

This change not only relieves the pressure on family income and expenditure, but also means that the couple has become a ''excessive wish'' to have children. After all, pregnancy and childbirth will have an impact on women's work, and after the birth of a child, women in the workplace often lack time to take care of their children.

·Pursue the quality of life

The continuous improvement of education level has caused many young couples to break the inherent way of life of the older generation and begin to pay attention to the pursuit of quality of life. For example: hold a party at the right time, take a trip that says go, etc.

The pursuit of high quality of life makes couples have to have more savings, and many people choose to reduce their expenses by being an only child or even a ''Dink''.

Of course, most of the above three reasons appear in first- and second-tier cities. In third- and third-tier cities, most young couples will still consider the issue of having a second child. So, what factors should be considered when having a second child?

What do you need to consider for a second child?

·Female physical condition

Although some young couples have the idea of ​​having a second child, in most cases, they will not rush to have a second child, but will consider it after three or five years. This is a process of adaptation and preparation.

But we all know that the best age for women to have children is between 25 and 30 years old, so most women are actually about to or already beyond this range when they are considering a second child. At this time, women should fully consider their own physical conditions and do what they can.

·family's financial situation

Having one more child will inevitably lead to an additional expense. In today's era of great work and life pressure, it is not easy to raise two children at the same time. Therefore, before the couple decides to have a second child, they should fully consider their family's economic situation to avoid the couple being unable to support the child after the birth.

·Dabao's personal wishes

After fully considering the above two conditions, if the big treasure in the family has reached a sensible age, then the couple should also consult the children's opinions.

If the big treasure in the family does not want the parents to have one more sibling, then the couple had better give up the idea of ​​having a second child. After all, after the second child is born, the two children will grow up together. If Dabao does not like his younger siblings, then there will definitely be many conflicts in this process, which will seriously damage the harmonious atmosphere of the family.
