@@ShikuesiPreviously, in an agrarian society, children from an early age were workers for their family, and their birth was profitable. Now, when people increasingly live in cities, and child labor in factories is prohibited, children are becoming a burden that eats up money. It's simple

Because once a woman gives birth, they are essentially trapped into caring for the child. The rich and the government doesn't give a crap about the wellbeing of kids, only that there are enough people for them to exploit

They aren’t expected to work and they aren’t expected to take care of the parents. You’re describing the duties of the Chinese men. That’s why during the one child policy, everyone chose to have a son and not daughters.
@@johnnyreb1209they live with the son. You think the son is doing all the cooking cleaning and caretaking for his parents in the home? No, that overwhelmingly still falls on the daughter in law.

The Chinese government should pay back the fines they collected from families who breached the one-child policy, and compensate those who were forced to have abortions.
I can’t help thinking that American people values a Chinese girl more so than Chinese people do thanks to Marxism-Lenism, which has perverted Chinese society.
Who know treating people like cattle and showing how little you care about them would result in them having zero sympathy with you. Wow, yet another obvious conclusion.
A lot of baby girls, future wives that their sons could have married, were aborted Due to the one child policy. It kind of sucks that the only way to get china to culturally care about women is to impact Chinese men. 1 in 5 girls were aborted. If you are poor you are more likely to have a girl because the zygote containing the x chromosome is more resilient, if you have an easy life you are more likely to have a boy because the y chromosome is fragile. Being poor impacts your nutritional intake and this can affect the gender of the baby. Lots of y zygotes get self aborted by the body because of stress and poor living conditions. Temperature can also affect the gender of the baby. If you are constantly cold it might kill the infant inside of you, if you can afford to heat your house in the winter your child will survive. Those in the city had the money to pay for a girl, then they could try for a boy. But those in the poor countryside would abort girls so they could have a male son as traditionally sons were the only ones that inherited and they also got the family name.
Oh the irony. When China said 'you can only have one child' many people were desperate to have more children. China now says ' please have as many children as you want' many people are saying we don't want any thanks.
@@reinertgregal1130 It's happening in a lot of places across the world. Not just China. Americas birth rate was decreasing and they banned abortions to keep that from being the trend.

Just give any couple who want kids a free house, it’s that simple isn’t it? If they’re that desperate for new people then that’s the price. This is the CCP’s fault for interfering in the natural order of things via one child policy.
A free house, make education free, get rid of 996 work, give a year of paid parental leave per child, free healthcare, then people might consider having children.
@@ironboy3245 The same geniuses who thought that killing the birds that ate some of the grain was a great idea, causing the Great Famine due to an exploding insect population. This is the direct cause of the one child policy. Not forward thinkers but knee jerk reactionists.
My best friend was conceived in China in 1991 with her parents already having one child. Thankfully, her parents and sibling were able to immigrate to Australia before her birth! Her parents went on to have a total of 4 children and were incredibly financially frugal for over 20 years. The result of this is that her parents retired quite young and are living in their own beautiful home in Sydney (all 6 of them had lived in a 2 bedroom home behind their restaurant for the previous 20 years!) I often think that families like theirs are the kind who would have truly benefited China as a whole. Their 4 children became a pharmacist, accountant, engineer and a doctor. Due to the one child policy, China forever lost an incredibly hard working couple, but also 4 incredibly talented young people (3 of which are now parents themselves!)
The more immediate explanation is that China’s old population is growing so large, that not enough young people can take care of the elderly. More than having enough soldiers for war.
I mean, there was an experiment with rats that pretty much summarized what could happen with overpopulation, Universe 25 was that experiment, at one point the rats stopped having babies because in their limited space the competition for anything was too much. The worst? At one point they started killing each other, I fear this might happen.
Society is not completely broken, stop being over dramatic. Even though inflation is high people right now are living better than they were 100 or 200 years ago. If you have a child you can and you will make it work, it's in our nature. The reason people are apprehensive is because they are surrounded by too much information and freedom of choice. If you are continuously bombarded by how hard and impossible something is, you're going to eventually believe it. Humans were never meant to be overloaded with this much information at such a fast past, it causes them to overthink things and make overly cautious decision to a fault. It's only going to get worse from here...
Damn… they hated when people had another child after the first… and I had friends whose parents lost their jobs or who lost their homes for having a second child. Yet now they are on everyone to have 3!?!?!
Wow.... That's terrible, literally punishing people for the same thing they want now. What's insane is that they think people will forget that shyt and go along with what the government wants
Yeah blame men for feminism, hookup culture, toxic relationships, not earning more than privileged women, or paying more for wife support (I mean child support). When they sleep around and expect a sucker to support another man’s child, respectable men will eventually remove themselves from a losing situation. This isn’t even half of the reasons the newer generation aren’t reproducing or striving for better. This will bring the human population closer to extinction.
You can't own land in the U.S. You can only be a tenant and buy the exclusive right to occupy the land you're on. Your money isn't your own. Whenever you use it in trade or commerce, you pay a sales tax which is the rental fee for using the semi-private money system of the Fed Reserve.

The truth is the people they should be targeting are the rich - who can afford more children... but instead they are enforcing this on the poor who are already struggling (and most are not the problem anyway). Utterly ridiculous - not even considering the generational trauma of all those millions of murdered babies from their one-child policy.
Old saying....." The happier the people, the more the kingdom flourishes ,the rulers' lives are long .But when the people suffer under the iron rod and iron boots apon their necks ,the kindom is doomed to calamities, and the rulers life is short."

This isnt limited to the chinese. Its the same for all the industrialized, modern cities and countries. Basically poor people are leaving the responsibility of child rearing to the rich cos they cannot afford to but the rich people are too selfish to raise many children. The only people who can do businesses are the rich people with capital. So why doesnt the gov enforce this on the rich since they are rich enough to actually support multiple children?
The capitalist system requires both parents to work and makes everything expensive. The dream of the World Economic Consortium, that you will own nothing and be happy leaves no room for children
Poor people in the US have more children so your thesis is incorrect. Taxes subsidize the poor at the expense of the middle class not to mention fiat currency and low interest rates allow for inflation.
@@jwill540 the middle class is no longer middle class. we are poor but of course that is subjective. You are right though middle class are the target group being imposed upon.
Not having children is not selfish, it's a personal decision that everyone should be able to make for themselves, regardless of their economic status. Rich people don't owe the state children any more than poor people. What's selfish is forcing others to have children regardless of their wishes because YOU think they should have them. If governments want people to have more children, they should provide economic conditions where people feel secure and know they won't be left with nothing should something happen (like losing a job or a serious illness in the family); where they can believe in a safe future for their kids (physically, economically and politically); where they know they can still thrive professionally as parents (so childcare and especially incentives for women who clearly invest more time and energy into having a child than their partners, and who still bear a disproportional burden of childcare, which affects their earnings and, as a result, their quality of life when they retire); good healthcare during pregnancy and birth (and of course later for the children); and also they should destigmatise and support single parents and invest in fertility treatments for people who want to have children. Forcing ANYONE to have a child against their wishes is just wrong and cruel, both for the parents in question and the children that are born to them.
It's the same here in Russia, childbirth rates dropped drastically. They even started talking that young girls don't need higher education and that they should start families at age of 18 y o and get pregnant instantly. I'm surprised they don't force girls into this. Of course childbirth rates will go down if you treat your citizens like sh%t.
I agree in the USA many young persons are also refusing to have children. Most of it, as in your country, is political and economics. All political leaders from EVERY nation need to treat their citizens far better than putting themselves first due to their own greed for money.
That's the very reason why we are in this mess: trusting politicians. There are only two kind of politicians, 1. The ones who focuses on money, leeching the taxes, 2. The ones who focuses on power itself, they are the worst type, but both of them see us, the population, as cattle. Politicians are hell bent to cause problems on society because they can validate "our necessity of them", because they sold us not jist the "solutions" of their self inflicted chaos, but the idea that politics is inherently necessarily to resolve problems; in reality they have nothing really valuable to offer and they know it. In short, politicians always dragged us down to their level in the pits of filth. The least thing we have to give to politicians is trust, which is the source of their "power", we trust they're capable but they are not, we trust they're gonna do their job but they don't, we trust them to make the best decisions and surround themselves with the best people to help them but they are a mafia, and lastly we trust them they'll think on our best interests but over and over again they show how disposable we are to them. NEVER EVER TRUST A POLITICIAN, they are our declared enemies, they hate us.
While the stuff about political leaders is true, I would argue that it's still primarily the greed of individual citizens causing declining birthrates. As countries get less religious, they get more self centered materialistic individuals with relative morals. If there is no grand purpose beyond this life, no belief in God defining absolute morals and purpose, why sacrifice to have a family and raise the next generation? What's the point?
United States is country that doesn't condemn women from having children late. If a 45 y.o. Woman will get pregnant in China, India or even Britain, she and her husband will be shamed. That is not the case in US.
The different is that ISA never killed of 1 gender and prefer only the other that they have a Inbelance of 2 gender that now suffer the Nastion that the problem in China because they killed to Many daughter and only wanted son, and didn't even though to chance it afther all the wars where done to allow familie to have 2 children and break the rule they now stresses and have struggle to get more young adult having babys and They need have more daughter to fix there stupid acstiona nd here the probely it probely gonna take 50+ years to fix that damage. Meanwhile USA and other countries mostly have with gen, Cost, Money, House, School and only small part is probely some are different. Other can be due other people from other countries coming to USA and steal/get houses before people who already live or are born in the Nastion it self
Not just sterilizations, but forced abortions, infanticide of so called unwanted girl children. They are screwed Karmically for these inhumane policies.
It's pure stupidity on the governmental side and an abysmal lack of foresight. How stupid were they to implement the one child policy? You need at least 2 children per couple to sustain the population, more like statistically 2.1 because people die of before they get old. But only one child? I cannot believe they didn't see that coming. Either they wanted this chaos or they are plain stupid, nothing in between!
I don’t know what’s more frightening the infanticide, forced abortion and forced sterilization from the One Child Policy or the prospect of this new Breeding Program. This is absolutely frightening for Chinese Women.
The older ones weren't naive, they were threatened. The world being so open means the government can't outrightly do what they want like Romania did back in day.
Sadly this documentary fails completely with pointing out one very important factor: the misogyny and sexism of Chinese culture. Misogyny: millions of women have never been born or were killed as infants and are missing now. Sexism: women over 27 are deemed undesirable and too old for marriage. There is even a Chinese word for them. Doesn’t matter if they are beautiful, educated and successful- they are looked down upon and hardly ever find a partner.
Where are women over 27 considered undesirable in China? What I see is just women crying that they can't find anyone successful enough for them. The more beautiful, educated, and successful they are, the higher their standards. It's just as you say; there are a lot more men than women, so women can always be picky.
Also I hate how childish image of a woman is considered beautiful. And “desirable” women's age is 14-25. I will never understand a culture, where children are considered beautiful and s*xy. And 27 year old is too old. P*dos literally won
they are not "deemed" they ARE undesirable.. also less fertile so kinda useless for reproduction.. you probably missed the whole point.. and are 99.99% a woman.. which doesn't surprise me.
Not the only victims, men have it very hard too, unlike women they aren't born with value unless daddy is rich and gives him value. In fact, you aren't even considered a man if you don't pay a dowry, have a house, car, good job, savings, be young and handsome, tall, funny, charismatic, giving, share money to her parents. Right now, young women have it very good in comparison. If they don't find a partner before 27 is because they were searching for Mr. Perfect, they got themselves to blame for that one since they wasted the only value they were born with.
I’m American, and old enough to remember when we were firmly told not to have children we couldn’t afford and everyone was worried about overpopulation, pushing rubbers, IUD’s, pills, and sterilization. So, we didn’t have children we couldn’t afford. Twenty years later, and suddenly we were “selfish” and “having bad priorities” either having no children or maybe two? Few of us could afford more than two; many couldn’t afford any. I went into poverty to have my two kids, as many currently middle-aged women did. 😕
I am so happy the young people are smart and self aware. Their country wants to use women's bodies for financial gain for the economy. That's so cruel!
China doesn't take Child Support Policy seriously, so after giving birth, all the burden will be poured on women. Women don't only do all childcare, house labour but also have to pay all the bills by herself while men can just cheat and don't pay child support. China.
and disregard for life as well. Reminder that cheating (ignoring safety regulations), deception (covering flaws of any kind) and fake foods (made with "ingredients" not thought for consumption) is only possible when they see life is not precious.
@@kriscubero6778 Exactly. In my opinion this all boils down to what I call a Godless society. No regard for life is prevalent in this kind of system, and morality is a weird grey area that isn’t defined, or just hardly exists at all.
Who would want to bring up their children in a dystopian society run by the CCP? I respect the choices of the young Chinese who decide to go against tradition and stay single.
Maybe they shouldn’t have killed all of their girls in the early 90s. I could see this coming even back then. As expected, they found a way to shift responsibility onto the few women of childbearing age.
What did they think would happen when they imposed the one child per family rule? And, given the massive preference for male children - good luck with that.
It's the stupidest thing in the world. Hey, I would like to own a Lamborghini but I can't afford it, so I don't have a Lamborghini. It's as simple as that. Officials who don't understand this are the most stupid thing in the world.

Unbelievable. Adding more expenses to the burdens of poor people struggling to find work, food, houses, and care for their elderly is the craziest, stupidest idea. The having of children isn't what is broken in China.
There's more beyond your wall. Instincts give you the strength to overcome fate. Parenthood is one of the strongest.. Use your strengths or perish. You will do things you could not imagine, you will open doors you didn't see before, you will pay the price and it will be worthy. Children are for you not for others... Neither for the government High chance that they will emigrate with lots of degrees and experience or try to change the system just to protect their children even if it is just one child.
Children in the United States of America are going through the same thing they cannot find jobs they cannot leave home, they will never be able to afford a house or be able to retire, having a child is completely unsustainable.
Heh, it's kind of funny. I got a new job and was reading over the 401k plan and I'll get that money and be able to retire when I hit 70. Like, my family has a tendency to hit the bucket in our 60s. No fucking way I'm signing up for the 401k. I'll be dead before I see it.
I will only give birth if I get a monthly salary equal to my pay before I leave my job, and I am allowed to not work and just focus on taking proper care of my child and ensuring that they are happy. If I have a child but have to go back to work in a few months, what is the point of having a child
Stay at home parenthood should 100% be a paid job. Raising a child is just too expensive and time consuming to perform when you have a full time career.
Credit where credit is due! Sometimes I just have to applaud the people of China and this is one of those times. With the situation they're in, doing nothing is really the best, cheapest, and easiest form of protest.
If not in China, why? You don't need to. If you are Caucasian, you need to have at least 3 kids. Your tribe is being out bred. I am an African telling you this; have more children.
I saw a video where homework over the Lunar New Year crossed one family's apartment. These kids were young too like second grade. I've seen videos of small children having breakdowns because of the workload. If I were a twenty something there's no way I'd want to put my child and myself through all that. Better to not have them and avoid all that trauma.
In countries like the Philippines, we pretend we want to help the poor become rich. In reality, poverty is manufactured. We need poverty to grow so we continue having more cheap labor. 😂
When young people realize there is no path forward, they realize they will live for the moment and not be trapped. I applaud their willingness to help the country downsize and enjoy their lives in with friends as they do.
“… when the previous generations suffered too…” They ran up like 7,800 trillion in debt and future pension obligations worldwide, and the people over age 70 hold more wealth as a share of total wealth than they have in at least 100 years… how did they suffer?

Boomers are the greediest generation that’s ever lived despite their parents having to fight the greatest world war in history, ungrateful to boot and then they have the audacity to call younger people lazy.
I’m not totally disagreeing with this phenomenon in the west (at least among the upper middle class) but I’m not sure “Boomer” is a thing in China. These generational categories are fairly random & meaningless, especially when applied to other countries, cultures, and ethnicities.

@@chikaka2012 afaik the generations are generally the same in other countries absent local factors like Chinas 1 child policy. Japan is leading the trend, they lost 1 million population each of the last 2 years.

China also made the mistake of allowing even more of a fake economy than “the west”. Literal fake meat, fake concrete, gutter oil… that level of fraud means very little built will last. Roads bridges and buildings from 50-2000 years ago are being used throughout Europe and North America. So China will also suffer more relatively, over the next 100 years. There was absolutely a baby boom after ww2 in China. Do you know how many people died in ww2 in China? 3.5 million. And how many were born from 1945-1960? That sure looks like a baby boom to me.
What nonsense. Boomers have stolen nothing. The main strain is only thst they didn't have enough kids to support old age pensions instituted not by them but by the Greatest Generation.
Blame corporations/investment firms that have created such an outrageous divide between the poor and the rich. Sorry but if you cannot afford to pay off a house after working for 30 years + have enough money to retire with then you should not even be thinking about having a kid. If the government cannot realize that corporations are the problem then that's on them.
The government is ran by sociopaths. They don't realize your struggles because they don't care, they literally do not think that deeply about you, they just can't relate.
It is very strange that they are demanding that the ones that they rejected and threw away should help them now. The ones that they tossed aside don't owe them a damned thing.
Living in this world is stressful, dangerous, can't afford something nice to live, work as slaves (if you are lucky to land a job), hardly have time for yourself and family. Govs: OH NO! WHY ARE PEOPLE DECIDING NOT TO HAVE ANY KIDS!!??
I think a lot of peoples around the globe are making this extreme decision - freeing future people from suffering by making sure they are not born. Me included, it’s extreme, but it is the only true choice left.
Yes, I've noticed it of some cultures - as well as China, Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, the Antipodes. Far less children, more young people saying no. It's not just the very high cost of living, practically unaffordable for Millennials, it's the very obvious and calamitous decline of the environment too. I don't know how much world news these young Chinese have access to, but they know well enough (through their own news system) that the environment is clearly in freefall. Who in their right mind wants to bring a tiny child into a world that is overheating in some places, flooding in others, harsh storms in others? It has already been said that the very young and very old are most vulnerable to heatwaves and wet bulb events. When things get really desperate, and you may have to resort to migration across country or to another country, the last burden you want to bring with you is young children. They always want, always need, cry and scream when they don't get it, must be carried when they are tired, and it's devastating to watch them perish. History is full of heartbreaking stories of children and/or their parents buried by roadsides.
Having children (creating a human life that will grow from infancy to adulthood and eventually die) is extreme, despite humans always having done it. I think the social buffers and blinders are eroding and people finally see procreation for what it is.
If you cannot afford or provide for the child then don't have it. It is better off not having one then bringing one into a world where it cannot be cared for properly.
So is the west. I guess they'll just both hire desperately poor Latinos , Africans and south Asians. You already see Latinos fighting for Ukraine and Africans, latino
If anything, having a second or third child is more competition in the job market! How are the younger sibling(s) going to be able to provide any support to anyone when the current generation isn't able to support itself? Truly the wisdom of the CCP is boundless!
😂 young millennials are the same here. We are already tired from a workday and when we don’t work we just want to rest, exercise, and get errands done.

A lot of baby girls, future wives that their sons could have married, were aborted Due to the one child policy. It kind of sucks that the only way to get china to culturally care about women is to impact Chinese men.
1 in 5 girls were aborted. If you are poor you are more likely to have a girl because the zygote containing the x chromosome is more resilient, if you have an easy life you are more likely to have a boy because the y chromosome is fragile. Being poor impacts your nutritional intake and this can affect the gender of the baby. Lots of y zygotes get self aborted by the body because of stress and poor living conditions. Temperature can also affect the gender of the baby. If you are constantly cold it might kill the infant inside of you, if you can afford to heat your house in the winter your child will survive.
Those in the city had the money to pay for a girl, then they could try for a boy. But those in the poor countryside would abort girls so they could have a male son as traditionally sons were the only ones that inherited and they also got the family name.

My best friend was conceived in China in 1991 with her parents already having one child.
Thankfully, her parents and sibling were able to immigrate to Australia before her birth! Her parents went on to have a total of 4 children and were incredibly financially frugal for over 20 years. The result of this is that her parents retired quite young and are living in their own beautiful home in Sydney (all 6 of them had lived in a 2 bedroom home behind their restaurant for the previous 20 years!)
I often think that families like theirs are the kind who would have truly benefited China as a whole. Their 4 children became a pharmacist, accountant, engineer and a doctor. Due to the one child policy, China forever lost an incredibly hard working couple, but also 4 incredibly talented young people (3 of which are now parents themselves!)
In China they might not had the same vita.

Society is not completely broken, stop being over dramatic. Even though inflation is high people right now are living better than they were 100 or 200 years ago.

Poor people in the US have more children so your thesis is incorrect. Taxes subsidize the poor at the expense of the middle class not to mention fiat currency and low interest rates allow for inflation.
@@jwill540 the middle class is no longer middle class. we are poor but of course that is subjective. You are right though middle class are the target group being imposed upon.
Not having children is not selfish, it's a personal decision that everyone should be able to make for themselves, regardless of their economic status. Rich people don't owe the state children any more than poor people. What's selfish is forcing others to have children regardless of their wishes because YOU think they should have them.
If governments want people to have more children, they should provide economic conditions where people feel secure and know they won't be left with nothing should something happen (like losing a job or a serious illness in the family); where they can believe in a safe future for their kids (physically, economically and politically); where they know they can still thrive professionally as parents (so childcare and especially incentives for women who clearly invest more time and energy into having a child than their partners, and who still bear a disproportional burden of childcare, which affects their earnings and, as a result, their quality of life when they retire); good healthcare during pregnancy and birth (and of course later for the children); and also they should destigmatise and support single parents and invest in fertility treatments for people who want to have children. Forcing ANYONE to have a child against their wishes is just wrong and cruel, both for the parents in question and the children that are born to them.
It's the same here in Russia, childbirth rates dropped drastically. They even started talking that young girls don't need higher education and that they should start families at age of 18 y o and get pregnant instantly. I'm surprised they don't force girls into this.
Of course childbirth rates will go down if you treat your citizens like sh%t.
I agree in the USA many young persons are also refusing to have children. Most of it, as in your country, is political and economics. All political leaders from EVERY nation need to treat their citizens far better than putting themselves first due to their own greed for money.
That's the very reason why we are in this mess: trusting politicians. There are only two kind of politicians, 1. The ones who focuses on money, leeching the taxes, 2. The ones who focuses on power itself, they are the worst type, but both of them see us, the population, as cattle.
Politicians are hell bent to cause problems on society because they can validate "our necessity of them", because they sold us not jist the "solutions" of their self inflicted chaos, but the idea that politics is inherently necessarily to resolve problems; in reality they have nothing really valuable to offer and they know it. In short, politicians always dragged us down to their level in the pits of filth.
The least thing we have to give to politicians is trust, which is the source of their "power", we trust they're capable but they are not, we trust they're gonna do their job but they don't, we trust them to make the best decisions and surround themselves with the best people to help them but they are a mafia, and lastly we trust them they'll think on our best interests but over and over again they show how disposable we are to them.
NEVER EVER TRUST A POLITICIAN, they are our declared enemies, they hate us.
While the stuff about political leaders is true, I would argue that it's still primarily the greed of individual citizens causing declining birthrates. As countries get less religious, they get more self centered materialistic individuals with relative morals. If there is no grand purpose beyond this life, no belief in God defining absolute morals and purpose, why sacrifice to have a family and raise the next generation? What's the point?

Where are women over 27 considered undesirable in China? What I see is just women crying that they can't find anyone successful enough for them. The more beautiful, educated, and successful they are, the higher their standards. It's just as you say; there are a lot more men than women, so women can always be picky.
Also I hate how childish image of a woman is considered beautiful. And “desirable” women's age is 14-25. I will never understand a culture, where children are considered beautiful and s*xy. And 27 year old is too old. P*dos literally won
they are not "deemed" they ARE undesirable.. also less fertile so kinda useless for reproduction.. you probably missed the whole point.. and are 99.99% a woman.. which doesn't surprise me.
Not the only victims, men have it very hard too, unlike women they aren't born with value unless daddy is rich and gives him value.
In fact, you aren't even considered a man if you don't pay a dowry, have a house, car, good job, savings, be young and handsome, tall, funny, charismatic, giving, share money to her parents.
Right now, young women have it very good in comparison. If they don't find a partner before 27 is because they were searching for Mr. Perfect, they got themselves to blame for that one since they wasted the only value they were born with.
I’m American, and old enough to remember when we were firmly told not to have children we couldn’t afford and everyone was worried about overpopulation, pushing rubbers, IUD’s, pills, and sterilization. So, we didn’t have children we couldn’t afford. Twenty years later, and suddenly we were “selfish” and “having bad priorities” either having no children or maybe two? Few of us could afford more than two; many couldn’t afford any. I went into poverty to have my two kids, as many currently middle-aged women did. 😕
I am so happy the young people are smart and self aware. Their country wants to use women's bodies for financial gain for the economy. That's so cruel!
China doesn't take Child Support Policy seriously, so after giving birth, all the burden will be poured on women. Women don't only do all childcare, house labour but also have to pay all the bills by herself while men can just cheat and don't pay child support. China.
I think it would be evil to bring a child into a country based on cheating, deception, and having so much fake/dangerous food.
and disregard for life as well. Reminder that cheating (ignoring safety regulations), deception (covering flaws of any kind) and fake foods (made with "ingredients" not thought for consumption) is only possible when they see life is not precious.
@@kriscubero6778 Exactly. In my opinion this all boils down to what I call a Godless society. No regard for life is prevalent in this kind of system, and morality is a weird grey area that isn’t defined, or just hardly exists at all.

Cant have communism with no population. Your move, pooh.
Especially women who do not want to work till exhaustion - work, child, houshold and elderly.
Maybe they shouldn’t have killed all of their girls in the early 90s. I could see this coming even back then. As expected, they found a way to shift responsibility onto the few women of childbearing age.
The irony is if the government went away people would focus more on having a family.
What did they think would happen when they imposed the one child per family rule? And, given the massive preference for male children - good luck with that.
Suddenly the government is realizing that the country is short millions of women. What did they think killing millions of female babies would do?

Thats the main question🤨.
Children in the United States of America are going through the same thing they cannot find jobs they cannot leave home, they will never be able to afford a house or be able to retire, having a child is completely unsustainable.
Heh, it's kind of funny. I got a new job and was reading over the 401k plan and I'll get that money and be able to retire when I hit 70. Like, my family has a tendency to hit the bucket in our 60s. No fucking way I'm signing up for the 401k. I'll be dead before I see it.

Stay at home parenthood should 100% be a paid job. Raising a child is just too expensive and time consuming to perform when you have a full time career.
Exactly well said
Credit where credit is due! Sometimes I just have to applaud the people of China and this is one of those times. With the situation they're in, doing nothing is really the best, cheapest, and easiest form of protest.

I saw a video where homework over the Lunar New Year crossed one family's apartment. These kids were young too like second grade. I've seen videos of small children having breakdowns because of the workload. If I were a twenty something there's no way I'd want to put my child and myself through all that. Better to not have them and avoid all that trauma.
In countries like the Philippines, we pretend we want to help the poor become rich. In reality, poverty is manufactured. We need poverty to grow so we continue having more cheap labor. 😂
Same with terminating our life. They block it as we are worth more to the system miserable but alive
Wow they literally are telling you what they need and you act surprised when you don't provide it and they are not doing the thing.
When young people realize there is no path forward, they realize they will live for the moment and not be trapped. I applaud their willingness to help the country downsize and enjoy their lives in with friends as they do.
“… when the previous generations suffered too…”
They ran up like 7,800 trillion in debt and future pension obligations worldwide, and the people over age 70 hold more wealth as a share of total wealth than they have in at least 100 years… how did they suffer?
They have run this all into the ground and they’re off living high on the hog sailing around Europe and sipping pina coladas in bora bora.
If they wanted a future they should have left us one. Boomers are the greediest generation that’s ever lived despite their parents having to fight the greatest world war in history, ungrateful to boot and then they have the audacity to call younger people lazy.
Are you forgetting the wars, the diseases, the poverty? Just because those left are doing better doesn’t mean their entire lives were easy.
I’m not totally disagreeing with this phenomenon in the west (at least among the upper middle class) but I’m not sure “Boomer” is a thing in China. These generational categories are fairly random & meaningless, especially when applied to other countries, cultures, and ethnicities.
@@chikaka2012 So the oldest 25% of China didn’t run up massive and unsustainable debts while saying “don’t worry, growth and future generations will be able to pay this off easily!” That’s just an American thing?
@@chikaka2012 afaik the generations are generally the same in other countries absent local factors like Chinas 1 child policy.
Japan is leading the trend, they lost 1 million population each of the last 2 years. Because they also had much fewer kids but they also have very low immigration to wallpaper over the citizen birth gap.
Yes the elder Chinese ran up massive debts and over consumed. China also made the mistake of allowing even more of a fake economy than “the west”. Literal fake meat, fake concrete, gutter oil… that level of fraud means very little built will last. Roads bridges and buildings from 50-2000 years ago are being used throughout Europe and North America. So China will also suffer more relatively, over the next 100 years.
There was absolutely a baby boom after ww2 in China. Do you know how many people died in ww2 in China? 3.5 million. And how many were born from 1945-1960? That sure looks like a baby boom to me.
What nonsense. Boomers have stolen nothing. The main strain is only thst they didn't have enough kids to support old age pensions instituted not by them but by the Greatest Generation.
Blame corporations/investment firms that have created such an outrageous divide between the poor and the rich. Sorry but if you cannot afford to pay off a house after working for 30 years + have enough money to retire with then you should not even be thinking about having a kid. If the government cannot realize that corporations are the problem then that's on them.
Corporations are people and that's bigotry probably
And nepotism too.
once people realize that "outrageous divide" is pretty much just numbers on a computer somewhere, it'll get ugly
The government is ran by sociopaths. They don't realize your struggles because they don't care, they literally do not think that deeply about you, they just can't relate.
It is very strange that they are demanding that the ones that they rejected and threw away should help them now. The ones that they tossed aside don't owe them a damned thing.
Living in this world is stressful, dangerous, can't afford something nice to live, work as slaves (if you are lucky to land a job), hardly have time for yourself and family. Govs: OH NO! WHY ARE PEOPLE DECIDING NOT TO HAVE ANY KIDS!!??
AMAZING you mean
SOCIETY is brokne at a LOT of countries
Do not mix up!
I think a lot of peoples around the globe are making this extreme decision - freeing future people from suffering by making sure they are not born. Me included, it’s extreme, but it is the only true choice left.
Bravo 👏
same. i didnt want to be born but here i am. Dont want my kids to suffer like me in this hell so i would never get married and have kids
Yes, I've noticed it of some cultures - as well as China, Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, the Antipodes. Far less children, more young people saying no.
It's not just the very high cost of living, practically unaffordable for Millennials, it's the very obvious and calamitous decline of the environment too.
I don't know how much world news these young Chinese have access to, but they know well enough (through their own news system) that the environment is clearly in freefall.
Who in their right mind wants to bring a tiny child into a world that is overheating in some places, flooding in others, harsh storms in others? It has already been said that the very young and very old are most vulnerable to heatwaves and wet bulb events.
When things get really desperate, and you may have to resort to migration across country or to another country, the last burden you want to bring with you is young children. They always want, always need, cry and scream when they don't get it, must be carried when they are tired, and it's devastating to watch them perish. History is full of heartbreaking stories of children and/or their parents buried by roadsides.
For women, controlling our own bodies is the most powerful thing we can do
Having children (creating a human life that will grow from infancy to adulthood and eventually die) is extreme, despite humans always having done it. I think the social buffers and blinders are eroding and people finally see procreation for what it is.
If you cannot afford or provide for the child then don't have it. It is better off not having one then bringing one into a world where it cannot be cared for properly.

😂 young millennials are the same here. We are already tired from a workday and when we don’t work we just want to rest, exercise, and get errands done.
Children do drain a person's life away and money, I never had any but I se how unhappy others with them are..
Pregnancy and childbirth must ALWAYS be voluntary. Because all the medical risk, pain, and permanent physical changes falls on the woman. Also no need to have kids if you will bring them into poverty and exploitation
Im sure the always benevolent CCP will take your advice into account as they deal with the coming calamity and potential collapse of their power.

You are right, of course, but an authoritarian government does not care about how its subjects feel.
No risks of a healthy pregnancy and birth. It is the FREE WILL part that it meant be a CHOICE that matters here! They simply have NO RIGHTS to tell otehr when to have kids and for the wrong reasons to.
Also child care starts AFTER BIRTH. They need CONSTANT physical and emotional care until they turn AT LEAST 18
