What are the reasons for the emergence of the Dink family?

Marriage and family are more mainly to fulfill the psychological needs of people, who need companionship, emotional support and friendship. As Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, the enjoyment of both sexes does not come with an outlook on the future.

The reason for the Dink family, the origin of the Dink family is in the United States, the 20th century 60 ~ 70 years of the United States rapid economic development, people's thinking has also been a breakthrough in the development of people slowly feel that the ability to have a child is no longer important, and have a child need to bear the pressure of the people gradually tired of the birth of a child is bound to affect the couple's original life, the birth of a child is also affected, the husband and wife. So there are more and more Dinks families?

(a) Gradually, childbearing is divorced from marriage

In anthropology and sociology, scholars divide families into central families, main families, combined families, and variant families, and the Dinks are categorized as a variant family, together with single-parent families and single-parent families. From this, it can be seen that the Dinks are generally thought to be an incomplete family structure in the traditional concept. Fei Xiaotong has mentioned more than once in The Fertility System that the **** same life between couples does not officially begin until after the birth of a child, and that human beings do not have marriage until they have children. In the book, Fei Lao mentioned the same in Guangxi's Hua Lan Yao, where the period of time between marriage and the birth of a child is seen by them as a preparation for the completion of the couple's relationship. The triangular relationship is the most stable, which also clarifies why traditional societies place such an importance on procreation. Fertility is not only about the couple, but also about the family, and even the community.

(2) Transformation of the Purpose of Marriage and Family

In modern society, marriage and family are more mainly to fulfill people's psychological needs, people need companionship, emotional attachment, and also friendship. As Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, the enjoyment of both sexes does not come with an outlook on the future. With the change of people's attitude towards marriage life, people pay less attention to the outlook between the two sexes. Mr. Fei also mentioned that the marriage contract contains not only one kind of relationship but two kinds of interrelated social relationships: couple relationship and parent-child relationship, which cannot be independent of each other, and the couple relationship takes the parent-child relationship as a prerequisite and the parent-child relationship takes the couple relationship as a necessary condition.

(3) The gradual transfer of the functions of the family and the improvement of the social security system from time to time

With the progress of the socio-economic level and the improvement of the social security undertakings, as well as the transfer of the functions of the family, the retirement pension, the public medical care and so on, make sure that they do not have to rely on their children to enjoy the twilight of their lives. Therefore, today's couples are able to choose infertility with ease and freely choose the lifestyle of Dinks without worrying about the problem of ensuring their twilight life. As a result, this has further contributed to the creation of the Dinks to a certain extent.

(4) The influence of economic rationality

During the transition period, China's residents' consumption shows obvious features of consumer demand advancement, and rapid transformation of consumption structure. With the growth of the economy, the progress of the residents' income, China's residents' consumption rate continues to be low, the lack of residents' propensity to consume, consumption is not vibrant and other issues are increasingly prominent, how to revitalize and develop consumption is China's economy in the process of sustained development needs to be focused on dealing with the problem. Giving birth to a child will form too much capital, plus, China's current medical system is not sound enough, people in the hospital will even spend money. This will be on the newlyweds to form a sense of crisis.
