Status of women and fertility rates

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-25

No matter how rich a country is and how powerful technology is, if people are gone, then these are someone else's. It's like a big sum marrying a daughter-in-law, but he is gone. Where did the property go?

The Chinese nation looks at the prosperity of the people, and believes that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Therefore, women are not only the heroes of the family, but also the contributors to social development.

Since women's procreation is so important, it should be respected. Consideration may be given to women giving birth to two children,** in addition to maternity leave. In addition to maternity allowance and childcare allowance, the period during which a woman is raising a child (assuming 10 years) shall be regarded as a social security contribution. If you have more than three children, you can be regarded as paying social security contributions for 15 years. and pay childcare wages. * Actually, I can get the money.

For a long time, human reproduction was treated as a private matter of a family, and children were treated as private property. For example, raising children to prevent old age is the idea of children as private wealth.

In fact, from the perspective of a nation and a country, the reproduction of human beings is no longer a family or personal private matter. Without a normal fertility rate, sooner or later a country will be in trouble. Without normal fertility, our race will be destroyed.

Since childbearing is not a private activity, but the productive labor of a country, why is the cost of childbearing borne mainly by individuals?

Especially for women, giving birth not only triggers physical losses, but also pays a high opportunity cost. For example, competition for employment is more intense for women than for men. Moreover, once the marriage changes, women who have given birth are often in a difficult and embarrassing situation. This is also one of the reasons why many women dare not have children.

The cost of childbearing should be borne by society. It is a conservative estimate that it will take 5 years for a mother to give birth to 1 child and raise him. This means that a woman has been working for society for 5 years. What if it's 2 kids, what if it's 3 kids?

That's why I propose that a woman who is able to have three children and raise them should be considered to have paid contributions to social security for 15 years, which means that she can receive a pension.

It can also be said that a woman who has three children and raises them to grow up can receive a salary and a pension from society even if she does not work other jobs for the rest of her life.

In this way, women's status in society and in the family can be guaranteed as a material basis.
