"Declining birthrate" has become a hot topic at the moment, and experts have racked their brains but have yet to find a good solution. Unexpectedly, netizens have come up with a series of "brilliant ideas". From banning the production of condoms, to scheduled power outages at night, to taxing those who don't have children, these seemingly absurd suggestions reflect the anxiety and thinking of ordinary people about population issues. So, in the face of the increasingly severe population situation, how should we respond?

The Dilemma of "Declining Birth Rate": Anxiety about the Loss of the Demographic Dividend

In recent years, "population crisis" has become a lingering social buzzword. Everyone is asking: "Where have all our babies gone?" Statistics show that the number of newborns in my country has been declining year after year, and even negative growth has occurred. This is no small matter, it concerns the country's development plan.

Back then, we were still worried about the "population explosion", but in the blink of an eye, we have reached the situation of "sparse population". This change came so suddenly that people exclaimed: "This plot twist is too fast!"

Experts are very concerned about this "big issue". Unfortunately, the "prescriptions" they prescribe are always ineffective and make people shake their heads. Some say that childbirth subsidies should be increased, while others suggest extending maternity leave. It sounds like it makes sense, but the actual effect is probably "much ado about nothing".

Netizens' "stroke of genius": whimsical or ridiculous?

While the experts were scratching their heads, netizens emerged with a series of "shocking" ideas. Let's take a look at these "brilliant ideas":

A netizen said: "Ban the production of condoms and allow people to have unobstructed contact." My dear, do you have any misunderstanding about "barrier"? Condoms have more than just this function! What's more, if you do this, I'm afraid it will trigger a "safety and hygiene revolution."

Some netizens also suggested: "After 8pm, cut off the power and Internet so that people can concentrate on their work." Well, now it's good that we have to "close the country" and "isolate ourselves from the world". Think about it, it's pitch black at night, what are people doing in the dark? I'm afraid it will trigger a "carnival in the dark"?

There is even a proposal: "If you are 28 years old and do not have children, you will start to increase taxes by 5% every year." This netizen, do you have any unique understanding of taxes? In this way, everyone has to count their ages on their fingers. , for fear of overpaying unjust taxes.

Finally, someone said: "Let state-owned enterprises and civil servants take the lead! If you want to be a section chief, you must have three children." Oh my, now being an official depends on fertility. Just imagine, a group of leaders with big bellies walking around, how festive it would be!

At first glance, these suggestions are simply "earth-shattering". But if you think about it carefully, you can feel that ordinary people are concerned about population issues. They may not understand professional terms, but they express their thoughts on major national events in their own way.

Behind the "Population Economy": How Should We Respond?

After all, the population problem cannot be solved by a few "magic tricks". It involves multiple levels such as economy, society and culture, and requires systematic thinking and long-term planning.

First of all, we have to face reality. Having a baby is not a "dowry" and you can't have one whenever you want. High housing prices, high education costs, and high pension pressures, which one is not a "mountain" weighing on the shoulders of young people? Instead of shouting slogans, it is better to solve these practical problems.

Secondly, we must respect individual choices. Everyone has different plans for life, and choosing not to have children or having fewer children is also a right. Instead of forcing people to have children, it is better to create a friendly fertility environment so that those who want to have children dare to have them and can have them.

Furthermore, we need to re-examine the definition of "demographic dividend". With the rapid development of science and technology, population size is no longer the only criterion for measuring national strength. Improving the quality of the population and cultivating highly skilled talents may be the long-term solution to cope with changes in the population structure.

Finally, we need to look at the world. Population issues are a global problem, and many developed countries are facing similar challenges. We can learn from their experiences and lessons, combine them with China's national conditions, and explore a path that suits us.

Facing the population dilemma, we should neither take it lightly nor be overly anxious. Instead of being obsessed with numbers, it is better to calm down and think about how to make every life grow happily. After all, doesn't the future of the country depend on every living life?
