これ👇は批判を浴びた麻生説と同じ(関連記事:少子化の麻生説は当たらずと雖も遠からず)。
Demographers say that while the shrinking size of the marriageable population is one of the reasons for such declines, the increasing reluctance to marry, or marry early, is a more crucial factor.
これ👇が女の生き方になり、
経済的に自立して男に依存しない
夫選びの目を厳しくする(自分を安売りしない)
加えて「独身生活は主婦業という賤業から解放された生き方」という言説が広まれば、晩婚化・非婚化→少子化となるのは不可避と言える(日本はこの言説の影響力が弱い部類の国)。
From a positive point of view, this means modern Chinese women have more choices, rather than being a housewife, said Felisa Li, a Beijing-based public relations professional who has remained single.
一人っ子政策が男女平等の観念を強化したことで、中国でも「女の非下方婚志向+男女平等→少子化」の人類普遍の法則が発動したようである。
なお、女が男と同じように稼得労働することが「男女平等」とされるが、稼得労働を重視する価値観は出生率にマイナスに作用するらしい。
Birth rates in Finland, Norway & Iceland are at record-low levels. Birth rates have fallen throughout the Nordics although the region is home to some of the world’s most supportive parental leave policies.

The decline in birth rates over the last decade across many high-income countries—including some Nordic countries—can be partly explained by the rising importance individuals assign to work as a source of value and meaning in life. https://t.co/dMSP3DQ1u7 pic.twitter.com/IY0YpI7zVI

Societies where familistic values are more common would share these fertility advantages. In contrast, placing a high degree of value on work can dampen fertility desires and make them less likely to be realized: workist individuals would be expected to have fewer children, and societies where workism is common would have low fertility reinforced by prevailing norms.
