The Federation also recommends promoting "family friendly employment" measures, such as providing households with household holidays, increasing full -scale leave, and labor leave.Zheng Zhen said that this year's policy report has taken a big step in encouraging fertility policies, but the attractiveness of these measures is not enough to stimulate citizens to consider fertility.She pointed out that fertility is a complex issue.

The right medicine should be used to solve the fertility problem by the source, and the education is subtle to inspire people to give birth.
