The Low Birth Rate

Have you ever thought about social problems? Nowadays a lot of social problem are having a big impact on our society. Among those, I am going to talk about a low birth rate. As you know, many countries are suffered from this problem, because this is connected with something like an aging society or a labor shortage. Do you know why this problem has occurred?

Above all, the biggest reason is that a country or a company don't have a delivery encouraged policy. Women who have a baby are suffered from many things, because a county or a company don't consider about women living that have to work and to look after their baby as well as making a living. And company also don't like women who have a baby, because of the concern that women with baby might not concentrate on work. For this reason, many women don't want to get pregnant.

Second cause is that women's mind has changed, as comparing with old days. Before women thought that a livelihood is important thing, but nowadays they think that their live is more important than a livelihood. Therefore, a birth rate is decreasing.

Because of those cause, in our society we can see many problems that I already mention. We have to have an economic responsibility to take care of the old, and we don't have enough labor. As you know well, when we take care of the old, a lot of money is spent on them. And because of labor shortage, sometimes we need foreign people who work at low wages. Therefore many people and many companys have a lot of economic damage, so those problem are causing national economic damage. In order to solve this problem, at first a country and a company have to prepare policy to consider about women living, according to policy that will be changed, women also have to change their mind. Anybody has to remember that the birth rate is very important to keep our society prosperous.
