Chapter 829: with translation of chapter title
With the development of the times, the value of marriage is becoming increasingly diluted; in the Western world, the protection of rights and interests of Non-marital Children is too good, so marriage is becoming less and less accepted, especially broccoli, the marriage rate is very low. Here we also have a bit of this tendency, and the result may be something that people who want to raise the birth rate in some places cannot imagine: doing so will not increase the birth rate.
The problem of childbearing is almost an unsolvable problem; the more emphasis is placed on individual rights, the lower the birth rate will be, and this is a trend. A large part of the reason is the improvement in education level. People who receive higher education, after graduation are usually in their twenties; first they have to face the problem of survival, and their male peers of the same age are in a similar situation. Only after they have a little family background and can free themselves from survival problems does their age become quite large. The older they are, the lower their desire to marry and to have children. Once they have just struggled hard and no longer worry about survival, most people at this point just want to enjoy a few years.
At this point another important problem arises: people in their thirties find it hard to have pure feelings anymore. Without talking about feelings, people naturally shift their focus of attention to Benefit.
At this time, men who possess sufficient wealth also become pragmatic; they no longer believe in feelings, and they do not have high demands for the woman's wealth, so naturally their focus shifts to the woman's age, cultivation, and appearance.
Here marriage has produced a huge mismatch; older men with greater competitive advantage naturally affect the optimal marriage age range, which is women around twenty.
The intrusion of older men will greatly influence young women's views on marriage, because the domineering CEO has appeared.
The entire marriage system has fallen into a huge vicious cycle; the large number of leftover women translates into a huge amount of difficulty in finding partners for ordinary men.
Yang Qing actually has always known this problem, but there are almost no ways to solve it.
This is an unsolvable problem, unless women's education is restricted.
Now we are in a civilized society, so this naturally cannot happen.
Without restricting women's education, to solve this problem we would have to forcibly stipulate a marriage age: once a certain age is reached, one must marry. This is the same as stipulating a minimum marriage age, except that it becomes a maximum marriage age, with accompanying compulsion.
However, similarly, this is difficult to implement, because the whole world is talking about human rights.
(For some countries that restrict women's education, there are actually deep-rooted reasons as well; it cannot be simply attributed to men's violence against women.)
For this unsolvable problem, Yang Qing's current method is International Marriage; this is what Dragon Mountain is doing, and to a large extent, Dragon Mountain has helped Daxia alleviate great social contradictions.
The problem of International Marriage can solve part of the contradictions, but another problem Yang Qing is still powerless to address.
That is the social impact caused by a large number of leftover women.
These people are relatively outstanding among women, but at the same time, because of their failure in marriage, they deeply affect their psychology.
Having psychological problems, and moreover being a group of very capable women, when combined, they cannot produce a very good response.
Extreme feminism, many of them are the main force.
The failure of resource allocation has a large negative impact on the whole society.
Yang Qing actually doesn't have many solutions for this group either.
He can only try to reason with them, but he also knows that reasoning with them is ineffective.
This is the only thing he can do now.
Female students hearing Yang Qing's words become very angry.
"Why, why is it that men in marriage only need to Earning Money, while we women, because of marriage and childbearing, have to take care of the family and interrupt our careers—is this fair?"
"If there were no childbearing, I could do better than men; it is precisely because of childbearing that we women are discriminated against in all aspects."
"Childbearing fundamentally prevents us from enjoying the same social status as men; this is unfair."
Speaking of social status, Yang Qing also has something he wants to say.
"Is it possible that all the inequality women face now, with childbearing being only one of the causes?"
"Before we talk about this topic, I want to know how you understand the phrase 'born equal'."
Born equal?
This sentence left her in a daze.
"Are we born equal?"
Yang Qing let out a sigh.
"To a certain extent, this sentence is not problematic."
The woman's tone became even more resentful.
"Then why was I born a rural person, while your Yang Family's children, at birth, have a status that countless people cannot attain?"
"What kind of born equal is this?"
"Equality is a lie told to us ordinary people; you are born as people at the top of the pyramid."
Yang Qing called Yang Rong over.
"Rongrong, come here, tell us what benefits you have obtained in the Yang Family that people cannot attain?"
Yang Rong leaned over, looking toward the Live Broadcast Room.
"If we talk about benefits, my living conditions are indeed much better than those of ordinary people."
"However, sister opposite, I don't know about other families, but in the Yang Family, actually many people live no differently from ordinary people."
"In some places, they are even worse than ordinary people."
"At the very least, we cannot get into Tequ Daxue and Shanhedaxue."
"Our advancement in education is about the same as yours, also through the college entrance exam."
"You might say our family has a university in Gangdao as well, but actually the family does not recommend that we enter university through special status."
"Because if we take these privileges, after we become adults, that is, after eighteen, we will have to reduce some support."
"You also shouldn't think that having family support after eighteen means we can achieve great things."
"Support is not infinite; actually, people differ little, and the children of the Yang Family are not all geniuses."
"At least half of them are ordinary people, so they can only do ordinary work."
"At least in terms of people, we are actually not that different."
"Even worse than you, because you might be born with the appearance, figure, and intelligence that we envy..."
"These are things we cannot obtain in a lifetime."
"From this perspective, saying born equal is not quite right, but this inequality is not without equality either."
"Moreover, sister, if you believe people are born unequal, why then cling to equality?"
"After all, we are born female, they are born male."
"While we envy their special status, in fact many men also envy us women."
"Those who work in coal mines are all men, those who guard the borders are all men, the vast majority of those engaged in construction are also men, those who work in sewers are men, and those who engage in flood control and disaster relief are also men."
Those who do firefighting are men, those who do anti-drug work are also men, those who are sailors are also men, those who do support construction are even more men......
We cannot only see men's special status, yet fail to see the price they pay.
When the nation was founded, those who charged on the front lines were also mostly men; women might die due to war turmoil, while most men died from gunfire and artillery.
