According to the website of Longwan District Government in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province on August 8, the Health Bureau of Longwan District in Wenzhou City replied on July 6 to the Proposal on Improving the Supporting Measures for the Birth Policy of School-age Youth, saying that it planned the Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Construction of a Child-friendly Society in Longwan District and Promoting the Long-term Balanced Development of the Population (hereinafter referred to as the Plan). By 2025, the maternal health care system will be improved, the service level will be significantly improved, and a child-friendly society will basically take shape.

It is mentioned in the "Proposal" that Longwan District plans to issue a normative document on the issuance of child-rearing subsidies, and will issue child-rearing subsidies to eligible families with two or three children. Two children receive 500 yuan child-rearing allowance every month, and three children receive 1000 yuan child-rearing allowance every month until they are three years old.

When this news came out, it caused a lot of concern and heated discussion. However, when Time Finance reopened the website of Longwan District Government on August 9th, he found that the website could not be viewed. In this regard, the relevant staff of the Longwan District Health and Wellness Bureau told Time Finance, "(The news) is too hot, let's put it aside for the time being."

The staff further explained that this is only a reply to the proposal of CPPCC, and the specific policies are still being planned.

It is worth noting that the staff member said that the subsidy amount is not necessarily three children per month 1000 yuan and two children in 500 yuan. "It depends on the local economic situation, and everything will not be known until the plan is introduced."

At the beginning of August, the National Health and Family Planning Commission published an article in Qiushi, saying that the total population will be negative during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period. This is the first official confirmation that the national population will be negative. Prior to this, Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other provinces have introduced subsidy policies to encourage the birth of a second or third child.

"The amount of subsidy depends on the local economic situation."

"The plan is being planned, and we have to wait for the city to set the tone. Its introduction time is still uncertain. " On August 9th, the relevant staff of Longwan District Health Bureau told Time Finance.

In addition, details such as subsidy conditions have not yet been clarified. Time Finance asked the staff whether only two or three children can get subsidies after the formal introduction of the scheme. The staff said, "It's hard to say, many specific issues need to be comprehensively considered, such as how to calculate divorced couples? How to calculate the position of husband and wife, etc. It is very complicated and needs further confirmation. "

When talking about whether the subsidy for three children will be 1000 per month and whether the subsidy for two children will be 500 per month after the introduction of the scheme, the relevant staff also expressed uncertainty. "It depends on the local economic situation, and everything will not be known until the plan is introduced."

If three children receive a monthly subsidy of 1000 yuan until they are three years old, the subsidy will reach 36,000 yuan/person, which is really a big financial expenditure.

So, what is the economic situation of Longwan District in Wenzhou?

According to the statistics of statistics bureau of Longwan District, Wenzhou City, in 20021year, the GDP of this district reached 79.384 billion yuan, up 8.4% year-on-year, accounting for 65.438+00.47% of Wenzhou's 202 1 year GDP (758.5 billion yuan).

Although the subsidy policy has not been formally introduced, it has aroused great public concern.

"There are many citizens who come to consult. Everyone mainly wants to verify whether the policy is true. " Wenzhou Longwan District Health Bureau staff told Time Finance.

A citizen engaged in the maternal and child industry in Longwan District also told Time Finance that many people in the Bao Ma group around him have noticed this policy. "There are a lot of precious mothers discussing, although everyone still thinks that a monthly subsidy of 1000 yuan will not make people who don't want to have triplets want to have children, but at least it is a good thing for those who originally wanted to have children."

As early as the beginning of this year, Zhejiang Province conducted an extensive investigation on whether maternity subsidies would affect the fertility wishes of two/three children. According to public information, in order to deeply understand the parenting cost of infants under 3 years old and provide scientific support for formulating relevant fertility policies in the next step, according to the requirements of the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Women and Children's Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Health and Wellness Committee produced the "Questionnaire on Parenting Cost of Infants under 3 years old in Zhejiang Province". The deadline is February 8.

It is worth noting that the questions set in the questionnaire include "Assuming that the government subsidizes the birth expenses of two/three children 1 1,000 yuan every month (from birth to three years old), are you willing to have two/three children?" "202 1, the amount of financial assistance obtained by husband and wife from other sources (such as the assistance obtained from the baby's grandparents)" and so on.

The questionnaire also intends to know the average monthly expenditure of infants on food, nutritional supplements, daily necessities and family facilities in 20021year, and set up questions such as the nursing choice of mothers during confinement, the average daily nursing time of parents, grandparents and others of infants.

In some areas, the maternity allowance has exceeded one million yuan.

A few days ago, the government confirmed for the first time that the national population will enter negative growth during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

At the beginning of August, the latest issue of Qiushi magazine published the article "Writing a new chapter in population work in the new era" signed by the National Health and Wellness Committee. The article points out that the survey conducted by the National Health and Wellness Committee 20021shows that the fertility rate of women of childbearing age will continue to decline, and the total population will grow negatively during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period.

The article points out that at present, the fertility will of women of childbearing age continues to decline, and the average number of family planning is 1.64, which is lower than that of 1.76 in 2065, 438+07 in 2065 and 1.73 and 438+09 in 2065, with only 65439. Factors such as heavy economic burden, unattended children and women's worries about career development have become the main obstacles to childbirth.

In this context, in addition to Wenzhou Longwan, many places in the country have introduced or intend to introduce policies related to maternity subsidies.

In July, 20021,Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province took the lead in granting childcare subsidies to families with two or three children. The Sixteen Policies and Measures on Promoting the Aggregation of Human Resources stipulates that families with Panzhihua household registration who have two or three children according to the policy will be given 500 yuan child-rearing allowance every month until the children reach the age of three.

From October to September, 2002/KLOC, Linze County, Gansu Province issued "Implementation Opinions on Optimizing the Birth Policy in Linze County to Promote the Long-term Balanced Development of Population (Trial)", giving birth allowances of 2,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan to eligible pregnant women who have given birth to one child, two children and three children respectively. In addition, families who give birth to two children and three children in the county's public medical institutions are subsidized by 5000 yuan and 10000 yuan each year until they are three years old. By April 2022, maternity allowance of 499,000 yuan had been paid to 176 parturients and childcare allowance of 680,000 yuan had been paid to 125 families with two children and three children, totaling11790,000 yuan.

In June this year, the county party committee and government of Fengxian County in Shaanxi Province issued the Implementation Plan of Fengxian County's optimized birth policy to promote long-term balanced population development. From June 2022, if a registered mother in Fengxian gives birth to two or three children, and the children have registered in Fengxian, the county finance will give them a one-time maternity allowance of 3,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan respectively.

At the beginning of August, the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government issued the Work Plan on Optimizing the Birth Policy and Promoting the Long-term Balanced Development of the Population, and it is planned to issue a one-time birth subsidy. For local registered families where the husband and wife have three or more children together according to law, they can enjoy a one-time childcare subsidy of 6,543,800 yuan for each child.

On August 3, Liu Jiyang, director of the Changsha Municipal Health and Wellness Committee, said in his interpretation of the work plan that it is expected to invest about 20 million yuan each year and is still seeking plans.

Yuan Xinri, a professor at the Institute of Population and Development of Nankai University and director of the Center for Strategic Research on Aging Development of Nankai University, pointed out in an interview with Time Finance that at present, the state has launched a package of positive policies. "After the general tone is determined, more than two-thirds of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions will concretize the population and family planning regulations according to local conditions and give support to women of childbearing age and families."

Yuan Xin believes that it is a basic fact that the cost of childbirth and parenting is relatively high, but a positive birth policy is not just a matter of money. In addition to money, the intensification of social competition and the change of the concept of raising children to prevent old age are also important factors. Therefore, the original proposal is to give more time support, such as extending maternity leave generally, setting paternity leave for husbands, and setting parental leave for young people in some places.
