In order to solve the problem of low birth rate, China has introduced a three-child policy since the implementation of the two-child policy.
But the birth rate has not returnedThe reason is that raising a baby is too expensive.
From the pregnancy test and prenatal examination that the child did not start before birth, to the later prenatal education and maintenance, the money for diapers and milk powder after the birth of the child, and the tuition, tuition and miscellaneous fees, and book fees after school.
In order not to lose to others, I signed up for interest classes and tutorial classes,Which one doesn't cost money? Which one is not to peel off the skin of your parents?
All in all, the cost of raising children is still too high, so young people choose not to have children.
This can make the country completely unable to sit stillThe proposal of another proposal has given hope to parents who want to have children but are suffering from financial pressure.
For the new proposals in the field of parenting in 2024, there is currently no clear information on the web.
However, from some reports, we can see some discussions and recommendations on childcare policy, specifically in five aspects.
One is about reducing the cost of childcare.
This is a proposal put forward by Zhao Dongling, a representative of the National People's Congress, in order to reduce the cost of childcareShe suggested waiving tuition fees for children born after 2024 until college.
In addition, it has been suggested that free medical care for children under the age of six should be introduced to improve the health of children and the quality of the population.
The second is about education reform.
In the current era of general involution in the industry, the days of playing happily in nature like many people when they were children are gone forever, replaced by endless homework, exams and tutorial classes.
Therefore, some people have proposed to carry out educational reforms, reduce the internal volume of the college entrance examination, and shorten the school system.
This can not only reduce the cost of childbirth, but also effectively curb the impetuous atmosphere that prevails in society.
There are also some recommendations for parenting planning and education.
Nowadays, there is a general emphasis on intelligence rather than physical strength in society, so that there are fewer and fewer talents who can work seriously for the country and the party for 50 years, so some people suggest that children should be trained in an all-round way.
For example, it has been suggested that the goal of parenting should be to train children to become independent, confident, healthy, and love to learn and think.
It is recommended to provide children with a healthy diet free of charge and to build more sports equipmentIn this way, sports are strengthened.
At the same time, it is recommended to give family subsidies so that parents can take their children to see the world more, so that they can make more friends and see the bigger world, and at the same time exercise their independence and problem-solving skills.
The third is to provide multi-faceted parenting supportSpecifically, there are the following aspects.
Some people have proposed financial support, including providing cash subsidies, reducing or waiving tuition fees, providing free or low-cost childcare services, housing subsidies, and providing special additional deductions for individual income tax.
There are also people who propose childcare services, and the provision of high-quality childcare services is childcare support.
These include, but are not limited to, the construction of additional nurseries, the provision of equal parental leave for men and women, the introduction of foreign workers including foreign nannies, the promotion of flexible working models, the protection of reproductive rights for single women, and the approval of assisted reproductive technologies.
Of course, educational support is also involved.
China's economic development is unbalanced, and even educational resources are unbalanced.
Provide high-quality educational resources to places with backward educational resourcesFor example, free or low-cost pre-school education, compulsory education, and the secondment of talents to places with high educational resources are proposed.
Then there's work support.
We often see news about left-behind children and left-behind elderly people on the news, so it is recommended to provide flexible work arrangements, such as remote work, flexible working hours, paid maternity leave, etc., to help parents balance work and childcare.
In addition, social support is essential.
It is often seen that the noble son of a poor family has abandoned his original family, which is not only a problem for both of them, but also a lack of national education.
After all, everything requires experience, and when you are a parent for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be places that you can't take care of.
Therefore, through community activities, public facilities, etc.,Provide support and assistance to parents related to childcareIt's also a very good proposition.
Psychological support is a top priority.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for children to be angry with heart disease when they are tutoring their homework.
Therefore, the proposal to provide psychological counseling, training and other services to help parents cope with the pressure and challenges in the process of parenting is indeed an urgent need for the society, and it can be called a timely move.
Fourth, reform the goals and methods of parenting.
Because of the general involution in the current environment, the goal of parenting is always focused on whether or not it can achieve results, and ignores the original meaning of education.
Raising a child should be more than just the pursuit of academic achievementGeng should train children to become independent, confident, healthy, love to learn, and love to think.
In terms of parenting methods, some people suggest that we should start with the end in mind, not just focus on the test results in front of us, but pay attention to the long-term development of the child and the improvement of his comprehensive quality, so that he can grow up in an all-round way.
Fifth, the combination of family education and school education
Parents are their children's first teachers, and parents are especially important for their children's home education.
Therefore, some people propose to strengthen the work of home co-education, promote the interaction and cooperation between families and schools, and jointly promote the all-round development of children.
Let the first teacher no longer be absent, and work with the school to care for the growth of a child.
But not all proposals come true.
Remember the controversy caused by the introduction of artificial womb technology?
It is unknown whether such a technology to assist pregnant women in giving birth should be introduced to help families who have difficulty giving birth, and whether it will cause a collapse after the introduction.
Therefore, whether these proposals will be implemented or not depends not only on the proposals of the people's congress deputiesIt is also necessary to take into account the pressure of society and the actual situation of the family.
However, some proposals have already become reality.
For example, in terms of economic support, in 2023, the state will increase the special additional deduction standard for individual income tax for the care of infants and young children under the age of 3 from 1,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan per month for each infant and young child.
In terms of childcare, in 2023, the Childcare Service Law will be included in the legislative plan of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, with a budget of 1.6 billion yuan.
* Invest 1.5 billion yuan in the demonstration project of financial support for the development of inclusive childcare services to help the development of childcare.
I believe that in the near future, when these measures are implemented step by step, China's fertility rate will be ** again!
Parents have expressed their approval online, and the reason for this is that the state has solved the problem for them from their point of view.
The first is to reduce the economic burden.
New proposals often include financial subsidies, tax breaks, and other measures, which directly reduce the financial pressure on households.
So that parents have no worries about childbirth, and the economic pressure is much easierFeel more at ease.
Second, educational resources have been improved.
No matter how hard and tired you are, you can't be poor in education, behind this sentence is not only the importance of education, but also the ardent expectations of parents for their children.
However, in areas with scarce educational resources such as rural areas and mountainous areas, even if parents and children work harder,Without good educational resources, the ceiling is there and cannot be broken.
Therefore, the proposal involves improving the quality and equity of education, such as increasing pre-school education resources and increasing education subsidies, which brings hope and hope to parents.
It helps to ensure that the child receives a good education, which is something that parents highly value.
The third is to provide childcare support.
With the rise of women's consciousness, more and more women began to work outside and refused to be housewives, and as a result, the number of dual-income families gradually increased.
This puts forward higher requirements for expectant fathers and mothers-to-be in society.
But everyone's experience is limited, and they often can't get it rightTherefore, there is a greater need for reliable childcare services to take care of children.
If the proposal includes the expansion of childcare facilities and the provision of high-quality childcare services, this will greatly ease the pressure on parents and improve the quality of childcare.
Fourth, work-life balance.
The new proposal advocates flexible working regimes, such as flexible working hours, remote work options, etc.
This will help parents better reconcile work and family responsibilitiesDo enjoy the joy of the family and work at the same timeBring financial security to the family and make the quality of life more stable.
Fifth, mental health care.
Everyone is a first-time parent, and it is inevitable that they will encounter various problems in the process of parenting.
When many men are confined, they don't even change diapers at first, let alone prenatal education and feeding later.
What's more, after giving birth, mothers often suffer endocrine disorders due to unstable levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, which makes the father bear more pressure on parentingSome may even cause the relationship between husband and wife to break down.
Therefore, the mental health services and support proposed in the new proposal, such as counselling, parent-child activities, and the establishment of childcare counseling centers in the community, will help parents learn more about parenting and achieve high-quality parenting.
At the same time, it is also beneficial for them to relieve stress, maintain a good attitude, and cope with parenting challenges more effectively.
From all these meanings, it is not difficult to see the thoughtfulness of the state.
Not only has the country done enough in terms of fertility, but it has also taken great pains to increase the rate of education coverage associated with it
From continuing to promote the reform of the college entrance examination to adjusting the admission policy, from optimizing the allocation of enrollment places to the implementation of the excellent teacher plan;
From the nutrition improvement plan for rural compulsory education students to the three-year action plan for "doorstep" employment, from the strengthening of school-enterprise cooperation among graduates to the special plan for on-the-job doctoral studies for the backbone of ideological and political work in colleges and universities;
It can be seen that the country has a desire for high-quality talentsThis coincides with the original intention of parents to let their children become talents and virtues.
In the prosperous era, the rivers are rising. Sooner or later, the country's new childcare proposal will come to fruition step by stepChina's fertility rate will also achieve step by step.
The previous two-child policy and three-child policy did not work, but now it is in earnest, and the proposal of this "new proposal" allows us to see the country's determination.
Parents don't just agree, take action, and let those who can have be born!
