Government wants couples to have three children, young men undergo sterilization before marriage; Said- it is difficult to survive, how to raise children
Sometimes the government gets tough. Now take China. A country about which the world knows only as much as it tells. In 1979, he introduced the 'Single Child' policy i.e. one couple one child policy. The birth rate went down. The elderly population grew faster than the young. The craze of indiscriminate development was riding on the government. When they woke up in 2016, the couples were allowed to have two children. Now after five years this number has been reduced to 3.
Whatever the government had to do, it did it. Democracy is not where different sections of the society are discussed, their consent and advice is taken. Just had to pronounce the verdict, then it was heard, but the government forgot that people do not want more than one child now. It was perhaps even less that a report made Xi Jinping's forehead sweat. A New York Times report has claimed that some young men in China are getting vasectomy before marriage, for them money, fame and career are everything. Let us try to know some more things about this chuckles going on in China by quoting some different media reports.
What do people say?
Hu Deifeng, 35, lives in Sichuan and previously worked in the migration sector. He says – I cannot even think of more than one child. It was already very difficult. When the mother became ill, the problem increased a lot. I think we are alive, but we are not able to live. Hu's mother also does not want her son to continue working and still be burdened with debt.
Li Yung, who works in an IT company, says – Society does not want us to give birth to more than one or two children. Young generation does not even want to think about more than one child. Now no matter what the government offers, no one wants three children.
China has a Weibo platform on the lines of Twitter. Here people are telling how expensive education is, house prices are sky high and there is no account of working hours. In such a situation, it is impossible to raise three children.
A user on Weibo said - Take out those who give advice to three children. Will you help us raise these children? Will you give them a house? Some surveys were also conducted, but even in these people did not seem too enthusiastic about the new policy.
What is the government hiding?
The Jinping government is not ready to tell the truth of the new policy to the people. The CNN report quoted sources as saying – The government has given assurance of help to the people on the 3 child policy, but what and how will this help be? Not ready to say anything on this. Professor Lu Hongping of Hebei University says – a good thing happened in five years. Maternity leave was increased to 160 days. Other than that nothing. People don't have trust, so families are shrinking.
