The group with high education level is indifferent to the concept of raising children and preventing old age. The group with high education level is indifferent to the concept of raising children and preventing old age. Their main goal is to hope that their children will read more books and become useful talents for the country and society.
For urban residents, the concept of raising children to prevent old age is not urgent. The coverage of state pension is getting bigger and bigger, urban residents have a stable pension, and the demand for raising children for old age is not very urgent. The greatest hope of this group for children is to let them read more books, be better than themselves, and at least support themselves.
The strongest concept of raising children and preventing old age is the following groups.
The vast rural groups basically have no pension. Once you are old, it is basically difficult to take care of yourself without children, especially in rural areas in remote mountainous areas.
Living in a relatively difficult group, they hope that their children can find a good job and have a good income, which can help them change poverty.
People who are in poor health are in poor health because of illness or basic diseases. I hope that children will not leave their side. Once there is a physical problem, no one will take care of it.
Can raising children prevent old age? The situation in real life is not satisfactory.
The better children study, the more outstanding their achievements, and the farther away they are from the goal of raising children and preventing old age. Some children go abroad to study and settle overseas, but they can't go home for several years, and some haven't gone home for ten years. They can contact by phone, but there is still a time difference.
More often, children settle in first-and second-tier cities and can only go home once a year. Providing for the aged means sending some money home to show filial piety. If the old man is ill, he can't really help, nor can he quench his thirst.
The only child is willing to support the elderly but unable to support them. The only child lives nearby. Because there are four or even six elderly people in the world and one or two children in the world, once an elderly person is sick or bedridden, the only child is really unable to do so.
A considerable number of rural children go out to work, and some have settled in cities, making it difficult for empty nesters to provide for the elderly. Now many rural areas are empty nest villages, and the left-behind elderly people basically take care of themselves. Nowadays, due to the state's care policy for the children of migrant workers, there are fewer left-behind children and more left-behind elderly people, and raising children to prevent old age has become a castle in the air.
The actual situation of real life makes the traditional concept of raising children to prevent old age collapse, making it difficult to provide for the elderly, which has become the cognition of many elderly people. So, who does the elderly rely on to support the elderly?
