香港人不放心，孩子如何出生？
兩星期前，舊同學聚會，舊同學都成了中產階級，買樓兼生兒育女，只有我過著流氓準中產階級生活，自在之餘有點唏噓。香港政府說生育率下降，但環顧我的同學，生完一個又一個，道理其實很簡單，我的同學不知道是幸運還是早出來做事，他們大都有穩定工作，剛巧當天有三位都是做政府工，連那位以合約形式受聘的女同學，比上不足，比下有餘，也懷孕了。
其實香港人也喜歡孩子，只是世道不好，工作又欠穩定，政府無時無刻叫人自我增值，加入全球化，工作時間又長又冗，大風大浪兼無癮，誰想生孩子呢？
你看，只要工作稍為穩定，中產階級還是努力生孩子的，香港政府只搞政治大穩定，只讓資本家穩定賺錢，打工仔女的工作是否穩定？沒有官員關心，唉，你增加多少免稅額都沒有人願意生孩子喇！剛在網上看到台灣的「怕生育聯盟」回應台灣政府的「鼓勵生育政策」，觀點跟我一樣，他們的口號是「人民放心，孩子自然出生」！

然則生活穩定的生育誘發力有多大呢？我不太喜歡有小孩，未能確切體會，不妨多說一點吧。
雖然我本身也喜歡小孩子，但當然要問我那些有孩子的朋友了．
但一定程度的工作穩定，每個人想吧！
Why is it a "given" that those who are well-to-do or have stable jobs necessarily want to have kids? In fact, it seems to be a "natural formula"--not only in Hong Kong but all over the world, too. I question this way of thinking. Being able to "afford" a kid doesn't mean the parents are capable of becoming parents. Just because everybody is doing it doesn't mean you have to do it too. In fact, I believe that there are too many kids in this world--and millions of them need help. Why do we need to bring one more kid to this world, where suffering is rampant?
i agree that it's not given.
"Why do we need to bring one more kid to this world, where suffering is rampant?"
A valid question. But there is no single answer. I'm sure my friends have their own reasons. They might not be just following other parents.
"Think socially" is good. But this is a personal decision.
