The subsidy for parents of only one child is a certain economic subsidy given to parents who have only one child during the implementation of the family planning policy. This kind of subsidy is mainly issued after the parents reach a certain age or retire, which can increase their pension income and reduce their living burden.
In China, there are three ways to distribute subsidies for parents of only children in various places:
One is to pay a fixed amount on a monthly basis, that is, to pay a fixed amount to eligible parents of only children every month, which allows the subsidy to continue until the death of the parents. For example, Shandong, Shenzhen and other places adopt this method.
One is a lump sum payment, that is, when the parents retire, they are given a lump sum of money, and then they are no longer paid. In this way, parents can get more money at one time, but in the future pension life, there will be no subsidy. For example, Shanghai, Beijing and other places adopt this method.
One is to increase the pension, that is, on the basis of the basic pension or retirement salary of the parents, and then pay a certain percentage of the subsidy, which can make the subsidy and the pension linked, with the adjustment of the pension and grow. For example, Sichuan, Anhui and other places adopt this method.
Due to the different levels of economic development and population structure in various parts of China, the subsidy standards for parents of only children are also different in different places. Generally speaking, the subsidy amount is relatively low in areas where the monthly quota is issued, and the subsidy amount is relatively high in areas where the one-time payment is issued, and the subsidy amount is related to the pension level in the areas where the pension is added. Let's look at some specific examples:
In areas where the monthly quota is issued, such as Shandong, it is not less than 100 yuan per person per month; Shenzhen, 260 yuan per person per month; Weinan, 120 yuan per person per month.
In areas where the one-time payment is made, such as Shanghai, 5,000 yuan per person; Beijing, 1,000 yuan per person; Jiangsu, 3,600 yuan per person.
In areas where pensions are added, such as Sichuan, 5% of the basic pension per person per month is added; Yunnan, 5% of the monthly salary before retirement per person; In Guizhou, 5% of the average salary per person per month is added.
Judging by the current situation, the allowance for parents of only children who have reached the age of 70 has not increased due to age, but the same as before. In other words, the amount of subsidy for parents of only children has not changed, whether it is in areas where a fixed monthly amount is paid, or in areas where a one-time payment is made, or in areas where pensions are added. Only when the pension is adjusted, in the area where the pension is increased, the subsidy for the parents of the only child will also be increased accordingly.
The subsidy for parents of a single child is a kind of care and reward for one-child families by the state, and it is also a kind of compensation and compensation for the family planning policy. This subsidy, for parents of only children, has the following advantages:
It can increase their pension income, improve their living standards, and relieve their financial pressure.
It can reflect the country's respect and recognition for them, enhance their sense of pride and honor, and stimulate their patriotism.
It can alleviate their loneliness and helplessness, increase their sense of happiness and security, and improve their psychological state.
Of course, there are some shortcomings and deficiencies in the subsidy for parents of only children, such as:
The methods and standards for the distribution of subsidies are not uniform, which leads to unfair and unreasonable phenomena, with some areas having subsidies, some areas not having subsidies, some regions having more subsidies and some regions having less subsidies.
The amount and frequency of subsidies are relatively low, which cannot truly solve the actual difficulties and needs of parents of only children, and can only play a certain role in psychological comfort.
There are still some loopholes and problems in the issuance and management of subsidies, such as lax qualification review, non-transparent information, untimely disbursement, and inconvenient application.
With the aging of China's population, the number and proportion of parents with only children are also increasing, and their pension problems are becoming more and more prominent. Therefore, the system of allowance for parents of only children also needs to be constantly improved and improved to adapt to the new situation and needs. We expect that in the future, the subsidy for parents of only children will be able to do the following:
Achieve unified distribution methods and standards across the country, eliminate regional differences and unfairness, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of parents of only children.
Increase the amount and frequency of subsidies so that they can effectively improve the quality of life and pension standards of parents with only children, and reduce their financial burden.
Strengthen the issuance and management of subsidies, standardize qualification review, disclose information publicity, issue them in a timely manner, simplify applications, and prevent loopholes and problems.
In short, the subsidy for parents of one-child children is a kind of concern and support from the state for one-child families, and it is also a kind of feedback and compensation for the family planning policy. We hope that this subsidy can truly benefit parents of only children, so that they can enjoy the warmth and care of the state, so that they can live a happy and healthy old age.
