When it comes to fertility rates, South Korea ranks first and China ranks second-to-last.
This time, in order to stimulate the increase in the fertility rate, the mayor of Incheon has publicly announced that he will receive a subsidy of 550,000 yuan (100 million won) for each birth.
Depending on the parents' income and family situation, the subsidy can reach up to about 1.8 million (3400 million won).
Even if 550,000 is evenly distributed over 20 years, the annual subsidy will not exceed 30,000.
Moreover, this so-called subsidy will not be in the form of money, but will be issued in various coupons.
The ** that can actually be really spent on pregnant women and babies may be far from the original 550,000. However, from another point of view, this kind of coupon and the form of ** can ensure that the possibility of the baby actually using this ** is maximized, and the possibility of ** becoming a business is eliminated.
First, this is a compromise on the actual fertility rate
It is believed that the introduction of such a policy that directly increases the cost of babies and the related welfare subsidies for pregnant women is actually a reality and is a last resort.
First, we need to be aware of the social and economic pressures caused by an ageing population and declining fertility rates. With the change of demographics, social welfare expenditures such as pensions and medical security are increasing, and the decline in fertility means that the future labor force is decreasing, which brings great challenges to social and economic development.
Second, the introduction of relevant welfare subsidy policies for pregnant women and infants can effectively encourage childbirth and promote population growth. By providing financial support and welfare guarantees, the financial pressure on families to have children can be reduced, and the willingness and ability to have children can be improved.
In addition, policies can also help improve the quality of life of pregnant women and babies, and protect their health and rights. For example, measures such as strengthening health care and postnatal care services during pregnancy and providing infant nutrition subsidies and medical insurance can effectively improve the survival rate and health of pregnant women and infants.
The introduction of welfare subsidy policies for pregnant women and babies can also promote social equity and stability. By providing welfare guarantees, social poverty and inequity can be reduced and social harmony and stability can be promoted.
Second, the views of netizens
01 We can't afford to subsidize itIs it because there are too many people?Then you don't have to give birth!
02 Specific analysis of specific problems, there are fewer Koreans and more of us, and of course they can afford subsidies.
03 I will not let my children come to this world to suffer.
3. Opinion: The imbalance between men and women will be further widened.
South Korea's fertility subsidy will indeed have a certain impact on the domestic fertility incident.
In other words, the pressure is now on the country.
However, the decline in fertility is not just due to the rising cost of raising babies.
More often than not, people's concepts and basic concepts such as eugenics and parenting are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The same two-child policy, three-child policy and four-child policy that some domestic experts have been advocating, the implementation of these policies can clearly see who is fighting for three children and four children.
In fact, they have all completed the two-child policy before, and they want to continue to fight for three or four children, and more than ninety percent of them want to have another son.
You can look back on the second, third or even first child around you, are most of the births of sons?
When these children grow up, how can those extra boys have a wife of their own?
And what about most of these uncompetitive boys?
It is hoped that domestic experts will speak cautiously on the issue of fertility and comprehensively consider all aspects of the factors to point out the direction for the current young people.
That's part of the idea. What do you think about this?Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
