Why do young people have low desires now?

In recent years, more and more studies show that the phenomenon of low desire among young people is becoming more and more common. Especially in developed countries, young people's desire for marriage, childbirth, work, housing and so on is relatively low. This phenomenon has different manifestations in different cultural and social backgrounds, but the phenomenon of young people's low desire is mainly due to the following reasons:

1. Consumption upgrading and uneven distribution of wealth

With social progress and economic development, consumption upgrading and material pursuit gradually shift from the basic needs of life to a higher level, and young people's pursuit of material is no longer so strong. At the same time, the uneven distribution of wealth also leads to greater pressure on young people. Many young people are facing financial difficulties, need to fight for mortgage and car loan, and have a low desire to get married and have children.

2. Changes in lifestyle and values

With the accelerated pace of modern life, young people pay more attention to personal freedom and independence and are unwilling to be bound by the traditional family model and parents' expectations. More and more young people choose single life, pursuing personal interests and career development, instead of prematurely engaging in marriage and family life. At the same time, the values of young people are constantly changing. Compared with family life, work and entertainment in traditional society, they pay more attention to personal respect and social activities.

3. Education pressure and employment problems

Educational pressure and employment problems are realistic problems faced by contemporary young people. With the intensification of academic competition, young people need to spend more time and energy on education and training to improve their competitiveness. At the same time, young people are facing increasing pressure in the job market. Many young people are facing problems such as unstable employment, low wages and difficulties in career development. These unfavorable factors also lead to the relatively low desire of young people to get married and have children.

4. Changes in social environment and interpersonal relationships

Changes in social environment and interpersonal relationships are also important reasons for young people's low desire. With the opening and diversification of society, young people are facing a wider range of personal choices and social opportunities, and they are no longer bound by traditional marriage, family and occupation. At the same time, the interpersonal relationship faced by young people has also changed. More and more young people express their worries about unstable interpersonal relationships, insecurity and lack of trust, which further affects their wishes in marriage, childbirth and work.

In a word, the phenomenon of young people's low desire is the result of many factors, including consumption upgrading, changes in lifestyle and values, educational pressure and employment problems, social environment and interpersonal relationships.
