In addition, two places have indicated that they will increase parental leave for non-only children.
According to the news on February 21 that the people of Zhejiang Province called me a unified platform, some Zhejiang netizens left a message saying that it is recommended that Zhejiang Province increase the leave for non-only children to accompany their parents. The Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission said that it will take into account the next step in revising the "Zhejiang Provincial Population and Family Planning Regulations", and encourage employers to support their children to give a certain number of days of care leave each year when their elderly parents are sick and hospitalized or unable to take care of themselves.
According to The Paper, previously, the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau also revealed in response to netizens' comments on "increasing the escort leave for non-only children" that it is imperative to establish nursing leave (escort leave).
According to public statistics, at present, most provinces in the country have clearly established parental leave for only children. However, as some netizens have called for the addition of non-only child companionship leave, the child escort leave will be "exclusive" for the only child and raised to "inclusive" for all children, which also has high social expectations and practical needs. The response of the relevant departments in Zhejiang and Beijing also conveyed a consensus at the official level.
As we all know, China has entered a moderately aging society. Home-based care is the mainstream choice of Chinese residents, which means that whether it is an only child or a non-only child, the accompanying materials of parents have become more and more an unavoidable rigid need. Therefore, it is indeed "imperative" to establish escort leave that benefits all groups.
Behind this is a shift in legislative thinking. According to the response of the Zhejiang Health Commission, the legislation to set up a one-child escort leave is "a reward guarantee for parents who voluntarily have only one child for life during the period when the state advocates that a couple have one child". In other words, the child's escort leave was originally positioned as a special reward or "preferential treatment" for the only child.
However, from a practical point of view, the overall burden of old-age care and nursing pressure in society is rising, and it is a common social need to set up "inclusive" child companionship leave, so that more people can have more convenience in accompanying their parents. Therefore, compared with only examining child escort leave from the perspective of "reward and protection", the legislation to promote the upgrading and expansion of child escort leave from the perspective of "inclusive protection" can undoubtedly better reflect the care for social reality.
As a matter of fact, some localities have already made positive explorations in this regard. For example, Tianjin, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei and other places have introduced child escort leave policies, which include non-only children. Of course, in view of the relative particularity of the one-child group, in terms of specific implementation, differential arrangements can also be made for the length of leave for one-child and non-one-child children.
For example, in some places, it is clear that the annual accompaniment leave for an only child does not exceed 15 days, while the maximum amount of leave for an independent child is 7 days. Such a differentiated design not only reflects the reasonable tilt towards the group of only children, but also takes into account the needs of non-only children, which is a more secure arrangement.
However, to promote the upgrading and expansion of child companionship leave, in addition to actively exploring and implementing it in various localities, it also depends on higher-level legislative follow-up. At present, there are still no laws and regulations at the national level that clearly stipulate escort leave, and the unified national legislation in this regard, or the introduction of national guiding policies and regulations to give more encouragement and urging to local governments, may wish to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
In fact, at last year's National "Two Sessions," some deputies suggested that the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly" be specially added to the "State Implementation of the Escort Leave System", making it clear that parents who unilaterally reach the age of 65 can give their children five to eight days of escort leave every year.
It is worth noting that the addition and implementation of any leave is not only related to the protection of employees' rights and interests, but also to the employer's employment costs. This involves the rational allocation of resources and interests in all aspects, and it is by no means a simple legislative follow-up that can be "done once and for all".
From a practical point of view, even if it is an only child's escort leave, there are still different degrees of "difficulty in landing". This reminds the relevant parties that in terms of specific implementation guarantees, it is still necessary to give more comprehensive arrangements for the coordination of interests. For example, for enterprises with a large number of employees, it is worth considering whether they can give corresponding preferential tax support to balance the cost of vacation for enterprises.
In any case, the aging of society is intensifying, and it is the general trend that more social resources are concentrated in the direction of coping with aging. This naturally includes the addition of some holidays and the improvement of its supporting resource guarantee and interest coordination mechanism.
