Reason: From the perspective of modern society, people's fertility will obviously decline, which also makes the aging more obvious to some extent. The reasons for the obvious decline of people's fertility rate include excessive social pressure, serious housing, wages, prices and overtime atmosphere, serious ineffective competition (involution), gender inequality and great pressure on the elderly to support. And * * * makes young people physically and mentally exhausted, even if they can be as busy as ninjas, it is also difficult to deal with.
Impact: This will inevitably increase the pressure on the only child to provide for the aged. Due to the traditional Confucian filial piety, it exaggerates a social concept that the elderly in their own families should support themselves, otherwise it is unfilial, which urges their children to form mental pressure to actively support the elderly.
Measures: Enterprises can reduce employees' overtime hours, improve employees' working efficiency during working hours, and let employees free up more time to deal with the support and self-development of the elderly. This can reduce the pressure caused by overtime work and increase the time for children to get along with the elderly population on the premise of ensuring the efficiency of the company.
