What prevents young people from having children?

The main reason in reality is that opinions and information on the Internet spread quickly and widely, which has an unconscious influence on Internet users. This enables Internet communication to amplify the influence of negative information, for example, on the issue of fertility, strengthen the awareness of the cost and burden of fertility, and then have a negative impact on individual fertility wishes. Theoretically, surfing the internet itself is not enough to directly affect the fertility concept and behavior of netizens. Because online information presents a variety of faces, of course, there are also some information that is unfriendly to fertility and does not encourage fertility. For example, the phenomena of unmarried, leftover men and women, single population and economy, dink family, rising divorce rate, involution in education and high cost of raising children all seem to point to the general trend of low fertility. Under the influence of the network low fertility culture for a long time, netizens will be subtly influenced by the concept of low fertility. Behind the chic Dink culture, to a certain extent, people's emotional expression of fertility anxiety and active escape from fertility pressure are the manifestations of the decline of fertility confidence index. However, correlation does not mean causality. When applying cross-sectional data analysis, we should pay special attention to the relationship between variables, and it is difficult to draw the conclusion of causal inference without forward and backward connection. Before empirical analysis, we should first make a logical qualitative analysis. The key is to avoid talking to yourself and presuppose the answer. The above article even concludes that the fertility desire of residents who use the internet is about 1.5% lower than that of non-users. This data and conclusion can also be questioned and discussed. Nowadays, there are almost no young people who don't surf the Internet, except for some disabled people who are inconvenient to surf the Internet or the elderly who are difficult to cross the "digital divide". Perhaps the first answer is, is the number of residents who use the Internet comparable to that of non-users? Is it statistically reasonable? What kind of people are not users, whether they are old or young, contains endless possibilities. Social science has the characteristics of fuzziness, and excessive pursuit of accuracy will lose its essence and make people irrelevant. It is also worth paying attention to the demographic characteristics and fertility attitude of netizens, knowing that netizens are extremely heterogeneous. For people who have completed their fertility tasks, surfing the internet will naturally not affect their fertility concept; For people who are not married, giving birth is also the next step; Only for those who are married and have not given birth, the information about fertility on the internet may affect their attitude and confidence in fertility. Therefore, we should not generalize, but treat them differently. More attention should be paid to these two groups of people, one is people who are married but have not given birth; The other is a family that has given birth to one child, and it is possible to give birth again after the birth policy is liberalized.
