Especially today, with the economy flagging and jobs hard to come by, parents demand even more of their children academically, for fear that otherwise they may be unable to find a good job and will join the ranks of the unemployed. Thus the pressure on children only increases.
尤其眼見景氣衰退，父母更會「望子成龍」，否則孩子將來可能就是找不到好工作的失業族群，因此孩子的壓力只會加大，不會減輕。
