1. High housing prices: High housing prices may have a certain impact on the fertility rate. When the house price is expensive, buying and renting a house may become a financial burden, especially for young couples or prospective parents. High housing prices may cause young couples to postpone marriage, postpone childbirth or choose to have fewer or no children.
2. High parenting costs: High parenting costs may also affect the fertility rate. The cost of raising children includes education, medical care, child care and so on. If families feel that they can't afford these expenses, they may postpone or give up childbirth.
In addition to high housing prices and high parenting costs, there are other factors that also affect the fertility rate, such as occupational stress, improved education level, increased employment opportunities for women, and changes in family structure. These factors can affect individual's decision-making and preference, and have an impact on fertility will.
It should be pointed out that the situation in different countries and regions may be different. Therefore, it is very important to understand the social, economic and cultural background of a specific region, as well as the relevant policies and support measures of the government, in order to deeply understand the reasons for the low fertility rate.
Generally speaking, the low fertility rate is a complex social problem. The high housing price and the high cost of raising children are some factors, but there are many other influencing factors.
