Re: China's fourth wave of singles hits the initiative to increase the number of single men and women
in the 9 years to stay in Shanghai, Lin Lin has changed 6 rental apartments. In the most frequent year, she moved home three times and cried incessantly. However, she did not have a Shanghai account and was not married. She was excluded from the housing crowd. Before the policy loosened, she was not destined to have a stable home in Shanghai.
2010 October, Shanghai property market rebound, Shanghai announced the "Shanghai twelve" to curb housing prices, announced that from the date of the announcement, the city and the provisional provincial and municipal households (including couples and minor children) can only buy a new set of commodity housing (including second-hand housing) in the city. This means that single people in other provinces and cities are not eligible to buy houses in Shanghai.
Lin Yong saw it from the news and scolded it in silence. Before that, she had already seen thirty or forty houses, "at that time, the house was crazy. A crowd of people followed the intermediary to see that someone bought it on the spot and others could only leave. She didn't buy it in time, but she was disqualified.
Shanghai's Internet red man, "February girl", once launched a "foreign single anti restriction alliance", "collection of 10 same encounter, or the same objection to the Shanghai Shanghai discrimination limit order MM, together under the line with the Shanghai Housing Authority, the theory," We support the regulation and control of house prices, but we are opposed to Domain discrimination! The government forced marriage, the unmarried and the leftover? "
she asked several companions to the Housing Authority, but the staff responded very firmly, saying" this is the policy. "
in many cities, the eligibility of affordable housing will be excluded. In 2007, Guangzhou made clear that the purchase of affordable housing should be mainly family oriented, and single people could not buy affordable housing. It is said that this is to prevent a couple from buying two apartments by divorce. For elderly persons over 30 years of age, single housing difficulties will be protected through low rent housing system.
media reported that a 36 year old Beijing resident man chose not to marry in order to wait for affordable housing. Beijing City stipulates that the annual income of 1 households who buy affordable housing must be 22700 yuan and below, and the annual income of 2 households should be 36300 yuan and below. After reducing his annual income, "if a wife who has a month's income of more than 1200 yuan is found, the housing will be gone."
in order to buy a house, there is an intermediary for Lin Yong. As long as money is paid, they can help to get a marriage certificate. Lin Yong refused. She does not understand why people would rather be generous in accepting fake marriage or false divorce, who had been introduced to her, saying that the other person had been married once, but could not hold a real life single.
"the government can limit the conditions of a single purchase, such as the age or above, and the number of years to live. If a divorce is found, the house can be recovered, but the idea of one size fits all is hard to accept." Lin Yong said, "the government seems to be naturally thinking that no house is not needed without marriage. Single people are not just needed, they are a group of people who can be sacrificed and ignored."
in fact, the saying that "family is the most basic unit of society" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "China has neither marriage nor sterility culture. Chinese women are basically universal." Yang Juhua, Professor of social and demographic College of Renmin University of China, told China News Weekly. Therefore, the formulation of national policies is often based on family considerations.
, however, "family perspective is only a perspective of policy-making, not the only perspective. Today, the family life is just a way of life, "Zhang Liang wrote by Zhang Liang, the Institute of sociology at the Shanghai Academy of social sciences.
in his view, social changes have led to changes in family form, and there are risks and loopholes in family perspectives. For example, all local divorces in order to obtain subsistence subsidies and dismantlement, reflect that the family as a policy design may undermine the family or violate social equity.
Gao Fuqiang, a journalist in the China Women's magazine "peasant girl", has been concerned about women's rights and interests for many years. In many visits, he found that rural women in China did not have the villager qualifications of maiden village. Under the force of system and policy, they must marry a specific man to enjoy the treatment of villagers in their husbands' villages.
early reform and opening up, rural land contracted to households, girls are considered to be married, usually can not be divided into the land, and can not apply to the homestead in the village to cover the house; and then, land expropriation compensation and population resettlement, the native village girls are still excluded. If she chose not to marry, or to divorce for various reasons, she had no villager qualifications (or incomplete) in her life, and the benefits of all national policies would have nothing to do with them.
