Abstract

This article mainly discusses in detail another important social issue, that is, the decline of China’s fertility rate. In the article, the main causes and factors of the decline in fertility rate are classified as “involution”. The meaning of the inner volume is probably due to the unhealthy competition caused by the large number of people, the resulting work and employment pressure, the poor employment environment, the rising cost of employment and education make people have no energy to consider the next generation. People have been squeezed out of their wallets and hearts by the high cost and low salary of the city, and have been busy since. The paper gives two solutions from imitating foreign countries and domestic countries respectively. Imitating Japan’s practice of diverting young people to the countryside, away from areas with high employment pressure, and increasing the importance of lower-level jobs, providing higher salaries and educational environments, China, like Germany, has already had a fertility problem before becoming a developed country. The implications and significance of this should make us ponder.
