Why don't younger generations want to live with their elders?

My personal opinion is: "Just because the younger generation doesn't want to live with the elderly doesn't mean unfilial."

First, we need to understand the meaning of "filial piety". Filial piety means "loving parents", but it doesn't mean that children must live with their parents. Nowadays, with the development of economy and technology, people have more choices and freedom. Some people may have to leave their hometown or even emigrate overseas because of work, education and other reasons. For these people, it is inconvenient or possibly impossible to live with their parents.

Secondly, we need to consider the aging population and changes in family structure. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, by 2020, the population aged 60 and above will account for 18.7%, and this proportion will continue to increase with time. Therefore, the growing pressure of the elderly group on family life has also increased. At the same time, the family structure is also changing, such as the number of nuclear families is decreasing, which means that the roles and responsibilities of family members are also changing.

Finally, we need to respect everyone's personal choice. Although living with parents helps to strengthen the feelings of family members and take care of each other, it is not suitable for everyone. Some people may be unable to live with their parents because of their personality, living habits, or close relationship with their families. Such a personal choice is not necessarily unfilial.

Therefore, from the perspective of modern society, "the younger generation is unwilling to live with the elderly, which does not mean unfilial", because filial piety is not fixed in an act, but covers many aspects of respect and soul. Everyone's situation is different, and you need to make a choice according to your actual situation. What's important is that we need to respect everyone's choice, build a family relationship of mutual respect, understanding and support, and provide a harmonious and caring living environment for everyone.
