Japan's population growth rate has dropped sharply, with 860,000 people born a year. Why?

Since ancient times, the population problem has become very important to a country. The birth rate in ancient times was particularly low. Take the most prosperous Tang Dynasty as an example, the birth rate was above 10%. Not only that, many babies died at birth, and the mortality rate is quite high. The average life expectancy of people is only 2 1 year. In ancient times, the medical level was low and normal, but in modern times, science and technology.

Just as China is the most populous country in the world, its population growth rate is even more terrible, ranking first in the world. Fortunately, the family planning policy has achieved good results, but look at developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Their situation is just the opposite of ours. In Japan, only 860,000 people are born a year, which is a headache for the Japanese government. They don't need to find a way to control population growth. On the contrary, it is necessary to issue special welfare policies to encourage people to have more children, which can also make the phenomenon of population aging better. Even so, there are more and more Dink families. Many young people not only don't want to have children, but even don't want to get married.

Some developed countries not only have no population growth rate, but also have negative growth, just like Japan. Although it is a developed country with a high population density, the young and middle-aged labor force is indeed a scarce product for Japan. After the Meiji Restoration, the natural population growth rate in Japan was the lowest in 20 19, and the Japanese government said it was very tired. Once there is no young labor force, it will naturally lead to an economic downturn, so it began to pay benefits to young couples, but obviously this is nothing.

So what is the root cause of this situation in Japan? Actually, there are two points. First, you can't have children. You know, the biggest feature of the aging population is that there are many elderly people. Moreover, the elderly in Japan are basically very long-lived, and the elderly can't have children. This is a problem. And young people don't want to have children. China, because of the traditional thinking since ancient times, people think that having more children is a major event that must be accomplished in life, but Japanese young people don't think so. They are very Buddhist.

They yearn for freedom and also want to pursue what they like. They don't want to get married early and start fighting for their children and families. They feel that their children are a burden to them. Because of the small population, the Japanese government has introduced a free delivery room policy, but no one wants to have children. Free delivery is conditional. There must be a minor child at home. Their policy is not aimed at their own country, but to attract those foreigners to immigrate to Japan. This is really tempting.

But in fact, our country has been slowly changing in recent years. Many people no longer think that marriage is very important, nor do they think that marriage is a major event that must be completed in life. Dinks are also increasing in China. Young people want to live happily, but having children is a burden. If they are not ready to be parents, they have to shoulder the responsibility of being parents, which is also very tiring.
