In today's society, there is increasing pressure to balance work and family life, especially for new parents. Recently, Zhang Qi, a deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Department of Internal Medicine of Jiaxing First Hospital, put forward a landmark proposal - the establishment of a parental leave system for fathers123. This recommendation not only addresses gender equality and shared family responsibilities, but also addresses the long-term development of the country's demographic structure and labour market.
Background. Deputy Zhang Qi put forward this proposal during the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, aiming to further optimize the birth support policy. He pointed out that China is currently facing the problem of aging and declining birthrate, and the number of people aged 60 and above has reached 2800 million, the proportion of the population aged 0-14 is 1795%。At the same time, the contradiction between employment and childbirth is increasingly aggravated, and many working women "don't want to give birth" or "dare not give birth" because of the pressure of childbirth.
The necessity of paternity leave.
Deputy Zhang Qi stressed that the establishment of paternity leave is an important step for gender equality. This not only reduces the burden on mothers in parenting, but also encourages fathers to be more involved in their children's development, thereby promoting gender equality within the family. In addition, the implementation of parental leave can also help relieve the pressure on working women, enabling them to better balance work and family.
Multiple entities share the cost of parental leave.
Zhang Qi suggested that a mechanism should be established at the national level to share the cost of parental leave. This means that the economic impact of parental leave should be shared between companies and society. ** Enterprises can be supported to implement parental leave through legislation and financial subsidies, enterprises can reduce the economic burden of individual families through internal welfare adjustments, and society can reduce the economic burden of individual families by improving the social security system.
Inclusive childcare is included in basic public services.
Deputy Zhang Qi also suggested that inclusive childcare should be included in the scope of basic public services, and that financial subsidies should be used as support to promote the implementation of local management responsibilities. This will help alleviate the difficulty and cost of childcare, enhance the confidence of families in childcare services, and solve the problem of being willing to have children and have people to support.
Epilogue. Deputy Zhang Qi's proposal reflects the society's escalating concern about the balance of family childcare responsibilities and the overall healthy development of children, as well as the need for the optimization of the current birth support policies. The implementation of this recommendation will help to promote family balance and the healthy growth of children, and is also an important promotion of gender equality, labor market equity and sustainable social development. In the process of implementation, various factors and challenges need to be fully considered to ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of the program.
