2022 Government Work Report, the "three-child supporting policy" was written into the first time and sparked heated discussion: this year, the supporting measures for the three-child birth policy will be improved, and the care costs of infants and young children under the age of 3 will be included in the special additional deductions for personal income tax, and universal childcare services will be developed to reduce the burden of family raising. In addition, many NPC deputies and CPPCC members suggested that they should be tilted towards families with three children in terms of education, housing, etc.
At present, how is the supporting policies for three children in my country promoted? A reporter from Beijing News Beike Finance sorted out the release of supporting policies for three children across the country and found that 29 provinces have included the three children in the scope of maternity insurance reimbursement , 28 provinces have extended maternity leave, paternity leave ...
tax cuts, subsidies... The number of baby care seats in many places will be significantly increased
Beijing News Beike Finance reporter sorted out the government work reports in the past five years and found that from the comprehensive second child to the three-child policy, the development of universal childcare services has always been one of the key points of childbirth work. In addition, the scope of parenting policy involves a wider range. This year, it is proposed to reduce the burden of raising families through tax cuts.
"No one takes care of children" has always been a realistic problem faced by young people.
In 2020, the number of infants and young children under the age of 3 in China has 1.8 digits of care per 1,000 people in my country. In order to adapt to the arrival of the "three-child era", many places have developed universal childcare services.
Beijing News Beike Finance reporter found that according to incomplete statistics, more than 28 provinces have issued relevant documents on promoting supporting policies for three children, mainly starting from two aspects: on the one hand, on the existing basis, local governments encourage kindergartens to extend the care time and reduce the age of childcare classes. On the other hand, social forces are encouraged and guided to establish childcare institutions and carry out custody services through tax reduction and exemption, and providing operational subsidies.
Take Beijing as an example, not only provides subsidies to universal childcare service institutions, but also supports units to provide childcare services, and solves the housing difficulties of service personnel through affordable rental housing. Shanghai proposed that when calculating the taxable income of corporate income tax for providing elderly care services, the reduction will be 90% of the total income. Suzhou provides general childcare institutions with a construction subsidy of 10,000 yuan and an operation subsidy of 300-800 yuan per month.
In addition, local governments also encourage workplaces to create a friendly fertility environment. Many places have proposed to configure maternal and infant facilities in public places and employers with more female employees to provide convenient conditions for infant care and breastfeeding.
Beijing News Beike Finance reporter found that various places also listed clear "plans": 8 provinces proposed that by 2025, the number of universal and merchandise positions per thousand population will reach about 4.5; Guangdong sets the target at 5.5 per thousand people. In addition, Jilin proposed that by 2035, there will be about 8 infant and toddler care positions per 1,000 people in the province.
Reduce Family Rescue costs Become the main direction for the benefit of the people in various places
This year's government work report proposes to include the care expenses for infants and young children under the age of 3 in the special additional deduction for personal income tax, so as to alleviate the economic pressure of parents through tax cuts. At present, six provinces including Beijing and Heilongjiang have clearly issued documents to implement this policy. Many places have introduced people-friendly policies for families with multiple children to reduce the burden of family raising from multiple dimensions such as housing, childbirth, raising, and education.
In addition to personal income tax , Jilin will also reduce and exempt value-added tax and corporate income tax for couples with second and third children who establish small and micro enterprises, and support banking institutions to provide marriage and childbirth consumption loans.
Jiangsu, Jilin and Shanghai have clearly proposed to reduce education costs. During the two sessions, Zhang Junting, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested that the third child attending kindergarten for free has become a topic of concern. Before this, Jiangsu issued the "Implementation Plan for Optimizing the Population Policy to Promote Long-term Balanced Population Development", proposing to reduce and exempt children from nursing homes with financial difficulties, including admission, kindergarten, and schooling. Jilin and Shanghai have proposed subsidies or reimbursement of some of the kindergarten expenses.
In terms of reducing living costs and improving the living convenience of families with multiple children, 12 provinces have tilted towards families with more minors in allocating public rental housing policies. Local governments mainly solve the housing problem of families with multiple children by giving appropriate care in terms of housing type selection and prioritizing the inclusion of renting scope.
In addition, many local governments have formulated preferential policies for implementing differentiated rental and purchase of houses based on the burden of raising minor children. Ningbo, Zhejiang has raised the provident fund loan limit for first-home families for second and third-child families, from 600,000 to 800,000. Linze, Gansu also provides housing purchase subsidies of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan for second and third children.
In addition to issuing maternity allowance in accordance with national regulations, many places are also exploring the establishment of a parenting subsidy system. For example, Linze, Gansu will give children 5,000 yuan/year childcare allowances of 5,000 yuan/year for families with second-child childcare and 10,000 yuan/year for families with third-child childcare until the child is three years old.
29 provinces include third children in maternity insurance
reduce low childbearing , assisted reproduction and other expenses
Last year, the National Health Insurance Administration stated that it would ensure that the cost of having a third child is included in maternity insurance. At this year's Two Sessions, NPC representative Nie Pengju suggested that the expenses of having a third child should be included in the scope of maternity insurance benefits payment, and that those without maternity insurance will be paid uniformly by the state.
Beijing News Beike Finance reporter found that 29 provinces have included the cost of having a third child in the maternity insurance benefit payment scope, accounting for 93.55%. For women who are not insured, some regional governments will provide appropriate financial compensation.
In February this year, Beijing took the lead in including 16 assisted fertility technologies into medical insurance. Subsequently, Hunan also gradually explored the inclusion of assisted reproductive technologies that medical insurance can afford in the scope of medical insurance payment.
According to the survey results released by China Population Association , there are more than 40 million patients in infertility in my country. Typically, assisted reproductive technology is the ultimate solution to the treatment of infertility. At the same time, since the implementation of two-child policy , assisted reproductive technology has become an important choice for elderly mothers. After the implementation of the three-child policy, local governments proposed that infertile couples can choose treatment methods such as human assisted reproductive technology.
assisted reproductive medical industry will further develop to meet the needs of more people. A reporter from Beijing News Beike Finance sorted out the "Plan for the Application of Human Assisted Reproductive Technology (2021-2025)" in various places and found that by 2025, the number of assisted reproductive medical institutions in various places will steadily increase, and the human sperm bank will further improve its management level and service quality on the basis of maintaining the total amount unchanged.
Due to the application of assisted reproductive technology, in addition to medical issues, there are also many social and ethical problems, and various management and guarantee measures have been proposed in various places. Among them, Beijing and other places proposed strict institutional access conditions and strengthened the dynamic launch mechanism. Health administrative department conducted regular checks and random inspections of assisted reproductive institutions. If major problems are found, dynamic exit will be carried out.
28 provinces extend maternity leave and paternity leave, and some provinces have paternity leave for 1 month
At present, 25 provinces have revised the "Population and Family Planning Regulations", and 3 provinces have announced draft amendments. The new regulations have made adjustments to maternity leave and paternity leave, and newly established parental leave. Among them, women who have three children in Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Hainan will have 188 days of maternity leave, and 158 days of having one or two children. In Zhejiang, it is 158 days for a first child and 188 days for a second and third child.
Some regions reduce the pressure on enterprises due to maternity leave by female employees by issuing subsidies to enterprises and reducing taxes. For example, Jiangsu provides 50% social insurance fee subsidies for enterprises with second-child employees, and 80% subsidies for those with third-child children.
At this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, many members and representatives suggested that men should take maternity leave and strengthen their father's responsibilities for parenting. A reporter from the Beijing News Beike Finance sorted out the "Population and Family Planning Regulations" in various places and found that many provinces have established or extended male paternity leave. Among them, the longest time period in Anhui, Jiangxi, Yunnan and Henan is one month.
The arrival of the third child era has also started "parental leave". Before the child is 3 years old, both couples can enjoy parental leave to accompany the newborn, which is generally 10-15 days. Shandong, Chongqing and Anhui have expanded the number of people who enjoy parental leave to parents whose children are under 6 years of age.
