For a period of time, China has encouraged fertility by issuing parenting subsidies.However, for the women in the workplace, compared with long -term education costs and the opportunity costs brought by fertility, these subsidies seem to be a lot of money.In the future, a series of policies such as maternity leave, childcare services, taxation, and housing security will be improved to enhance the fertility willingness of women in the workplace.
----
Recently, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia proposed that a one -time parenting subsidy was distributed 5,000 yuan (RMB, Same, S $ 935).
Reporters sorted out and found that since 2021, there have been "Panzhihua, Yunnan, Ningxia, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Changsha, etc. Sichuan have issued a" baby baby to send money "policy in many places to issue maternity subsidies for eligible families.Hundreds of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
The purpose of implementing these policies is to reduce the burden on people's fertility and let more families "want to have, dare to give birth, and want to give birth".So, for workplace women, these policies are effective in encouraging their fertility?The reporter started an interview."True Gold and Silver" promotes fertility
Recently, Li Jiaxin, who was a dance teacher in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, submitted a one -time maternity subsidy.This year, Wenzhou issued a policy to issue 1,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, and 3,000 yuan of one -time maternity subsidies for household registration families with one child, two -child, and three children.
Since the implementation of the three -child policy, in order to encourage fertility, the new policy of parenting subsidy for "real gold and silver" has been launched.The reporter noticed that policies in various places were large.In most areas of household distribution subsidies for fertility two -child and three children, the distribution method includes monthly distribution, year -on -year, and one -time distribution.Most of these cities that distribute parenting subsidies have requested their children's birth date and household registration.
"I used to see two children and three children in other cities before. I did not expect that Wenzhou could apply for subsidies by one child." Li Jiaxin, who had just given birth to a child in December 2022, told reporters.
The reporter found that one child was included in the scope of parenting subsidies in Linze County, Gansu Province, Ningshan County, Shaanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, and Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province.In January of this year, Shenzhen proposed that it is intended to issue 7,500 yuan, 11,000 yuan and 19,000 yuan for families with a pairing of one child, two children, and three children according to the differentiated and progressive pairing.
In addition, some companies have also launched measures to encourage employees.For example, Ctrip Group of the tourism service platform proposed that global employees who have joined the world for 3 years, regardless of gender, each new child will receive a cash subsidy of 10,000 yuan per year and distribute it to the age of 5 years of age.The sanitation service enterprise Qiaoyin shares announced to the employees that one -child family can enjoy a monthly subsidy of milk powder and diaper between 1,400 yuan, 1050 yuan and 500 yuan between children 0 to 3 years old;Public kindergarten tuition; three -child families received another 100,000 yuan reward on the basis of the aforementioned.
Looking forward to increasing inclusive care services
After learning that Shenzhen intends to launch a parenting subsidy policy, Gao Zhen, the mother -in -law living in the local workplace, does not seem to be tempted."The cost of fertility is too high, even if there is subsidy, it is a lot of money." She told reporters.
Gao Zhen calculated a maternity account to reporters. After the maternity leave, because no one in the family took care of the child, she invited a parenting sister, with a monthly salary of 7,000 yuan, plus dazzling urine, milk powder and other daily necessities.The fixed expenditure of children per month is nearly 10,000 yuan.
"Combined with the amount of subsidies launched in Shenzhen, it is not enough for a month of expenses." Gao Zhen said that she and her husband must work hard to earn money in order to pay these costs.It will inevitably affect my career development before and after a year and a half. For women in the workplace, it is difficult to take care of family and work. "
The reporter interviewed a number of women in the workplace. They have similar views on parenting subsidies to encourage fertility, which is similar to Gao Zhen.
After returning to the workplace, Li Jiaxin found that raising children not only requires "real gold and silver", but also require professional and inclusive care services."When I was a kid, when my parents were at work, I sent me to the child's childcare, and went home with my parents at get off work." Today, Li Jiaxin is looking forward to increasing the inclusive care service and reducing the economic and psychological burden on the parenting family's family. Essence
In order to make women bring baby and work, make active attempts in some places.Zhongshan, Foshan and other places in Guangdong have successively held a number of "Mom post" job fairs.In August of this year, Guangdong Province proposed that the "Mom post" positions are widely developed and supported by employers such as enterprises, social organizations, and other employers.Flexible work and elastic work.
Enhanced fertility will require policy "combination boxing"
Sheng Yinan, a professor at the Institute of Population and Economics of the University of Capital and Trade, believes that for most parents in the workplace, fertility costs include not only direct costs such as pregnancy examinations, children's breeding, but also opportunities and psychological costs.
"At present, maternity subsidies in various places can alleviate the economic pressure of family raising children to a certain extent, but it has limited effects on long -term raising education costs, and it is difficult to reduce the opportunity cost and psychological cost of fertility. Therefore, it is necessaryImprove the policy of maternity leave, childcare services, taxes, housing security and other policies 'combination boxing' to enhance the willingness of fertility. "Sheng Yinan said.
For the attempt to set up a "mother post" in some areas, Xiong Bingqi, Dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, pointed out that the original intention of this move was to allow some women in the workplace to take care of work and family.However, he believes that the "mother post" position is limited, and it is more important to solve the childcare problem of infants and young children."To relieve the difficulty of education, it still needs to play the leading role of the government and actively promote the inclusive care service."
The reporter noticed that in recent years, in the policies of encouraging fertility in various places, measures such as "improving infant care service support policies" and "accelerating the construction of fertility friendly environment" and other measures have frequently appeared.For example, Jinan, Shandong proposed that supporting institutions, enterprises and institutions, communities, and communities with conditions provide care services for working employees and residents; in Zhengzhou, Henan, in 2025, the city's communities must be equipped with inclusive inclusive inclusive inclnue inclnontationsTreatment points.
"" Encourage the employer to provide the working environment for the workers. At the same time, the rights and interests of the employer should also be protected.It is allowed to deduct a certain proportion accordingly to reduce the cost of fertility to employers. "Sheng Yaman suggested.
