From 20 16 to 20 18 years, the number of newborns was17.86 million,17.23 million and15.23 million respectively.
And some experts predict that the number of newborns in China may continue to decline in 20 19 years.
Based on this, the state has introduced relevant measures to try to encourage people to have children in the form of subsidies, thus solving the problem of low fertility will.
1 state subsidies
Last year, the State Council introduced the relevant scheme of national family planning subsidy and safety subsidy standard, and implemented the method of grading sharing, with the state and local finance sharing the expenditure responsibility.
With the overall improvement of China's economic development level, the scheme has been implemented since 20 19 1.
According to different regions, the state gives different degrees of subsidies.
For example, in remote and underdeveloped areas such as Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan and Guizhou, the state can share 80% of the finance.
Hebei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan and other cities with medium economic development, the proportion of national financial share is 60%.
In Liaoning, Fujian, Shandong and other regions, the proportion shared by the state is 50%.
In economically developed areas such as Beijing and Shanghai, the proportion shared by the state is only 10%.
It can be seen that the more developed the local economy, the less the country will get, while the less developed areas will be strongly supported by 20 19 countries.
Through this subsidy policy, the fertility pressure in underdeveloped areas in China will be alleviated to some extent.
It will also encourage people to have more children to a certain extent, and promote the growth of the number of newborns in China in 20 19 years.
Maternity leave allowance
Up to now, more than 3 1 province has extended maternity leave.
On the basis of the original 98 days, bonus leave was added or maternity leave was directly extended, reaching 138 days, and the most reached 158 days.
Not only that, but even the man began to have escort leave, usually 15-30 days.
Of course, local policies are different, and the length of maternity leave is different. As long as the unit approves, female employees in Chongqing can take maternity leave until their children reach 1 year old.
During maternity leave, women not only receive wages, but also receive maternity allowance.
For example, Xiao Wang takes maternity leave, during which the company pays according to Xiao Wang's usual basic salary.
When Xiao Wang returns to his post to work normally, he can apply for maternity allowance.
The money will be paid to the company account first. After deducting the salary received by Xiao Wang during maternity leave, the company will still pay the rest to Xiao Wang.
In addition, some areas also subsidize the delivery of the second child and caesarean section.
For example, in 500 yuan, caesarean section 1000 yuan. A mother who gave birth to a second child said that when she gave birth to her first child, she reimbursed more than 22,000 maternity check-up fees, hospitalization fees and maternity allowance, and more than 26,000 for her second child.
So, how much do you subsidize?
Generally speaking, in order to encourage childbearing, the state has been relaxing relevant policies in terms of subsidies and vacations.
But many people are reluctant to have children, not only because of the pressure of childbirth, but also because of the pressure of parenting. Therefore, under the premise of helping residents to reduce the pressure of childbearing, the state should also focus on child rearing.
For example, by standardizing the whole early childhood education market, many parents have no worries and let them go to work without worrying about their children; Through the popularization of kindergartens, the problems of children's difficulty and expensive admission to kindergartens will be solved.
At present, the pressure of childbirth and child-rearing has become two unavoidable mountains for the increase of the number of newborns in China.
Only with the help of the state, we can constantly improve these two policies and reduce the pressure of young people's lives, so as to really promote the growth of our population.
