中國有一句俗語叫作“不孝有三,無后為大。”但如今,對許多年輕夫婦來說,選擇不生孩子成為丁克一族卻相當流行。有些夫妻選擇成為丁克一族實屬無奈。他們擔心無法給孩子提供優越的生活條件而選擇成為丁克一族。如今,孩子的教育費用比過去高很多。在大城市,送孩子上好一點的幼兒園要花費巨資,重點中小學的學費則更高。但當丁克一族做好準備生育孩子時,卻錯過了最佳生育年齡。
A popular saying in China has it that “There are three forms of unfilial conduct, of which the worst is to have no descendants.” But now, it is quite fashionable for many young couples to choose a lifestyle without kids and organize the DINK family. Some couples who have chosen to be DINK are forced to do so. They are fearful that they cannot provide favorable living conditions for their children. Nowadays, the cost of educating a child is much higher than before. In big cities, to send a child to a better kindergarten takes a large amount of money and the key primary or secondary schools are even more expensive. But when they make preparations for having a baby, it is a pity that they have missed the most fertile years.
