Population aging is a major problem that must be faced in the development of the times, and China has entered an aging society at the end of the twentieth century, and the process of population aging is still accelerating, which is undoubtedly unfavorable to the development of society.
According to the data of the Seventh Population Census, the mainland's population aged 15-59 accounts for less than 64% of the country's more than 1.4 billion people, while the population of 60 or more accounts for more than 30 percent. It is not difficult to see from the data the grim situation of the aging population facing the mainland, and only children account for the majority of the population of less than 64 percent.
In order to increase the fertility rate and alleviate aging, the most fundamental thing is to alleviate the economic pressure on young people, especially young people with only one child, in this regard, the state has also introduced relevant policies for only child families. China has been a country with a large population since ancient times, whether in ancient times or since the founding of New China, the advantages in population have put the mainland in a certain dominant position in economic development. However, with the intensification of the aging of the mainland population, the mainland's demographic dividend is gradually disappearing, bringing certain hidden dangers to the development of society.
In order to improve the mainland's population structure and alleviate the aging process, the mainland has also opened up the "two-child, three-child" policy, and has also implemented many subsidies to encourage fertility. However, according to the latest population data, it will be found that whether it is a "second child" or a "third child", their implementation effect is not very obvious. As for the reasons why the implementation of the multiple birth policy is not obvious, it is necessary to mention family planning, which began in the 1970s.
Before the opening of the "second child" and "three children", in order to alleviate the social pressure brought about by the rapid population and better make social construction sustainable, the mainland once implemented the policy of one-child children. During that period, the control of the birth of children in the family was very strict, so the one-child policy was successful in most families.
For those one-child families, the only child who grows up has to face a problem, in the case that both husband and wife are only children, the family has to support four or more elderly people. This is a huge pressure on young people, both financially and mentally. Having a child can barely let the retired elderly help carry it, and if there are more children, the final burden will only fall on the young. And this avoidable burden is obviously something that young people are unwilling to bear, and the implementation of the second or even third child is naturally far away.
In order to encourage childbearing, the state has subsidized welfare benefits for some three-child families, so recently, the subsidies for only children have also been announced, and this subsidy, the official has repeatedly emphasized that there is a time limit, if it expires, it will not be reissued. So, what are the benefits for one-child families?
About parents of one-child retirement: Parents of one-child families can get an extra amount of money when they retire, although it is not much, but for retired parents of only children, there is undoubtedly more protection. After all, when people reach old age, their bodies will have some problems, and this money can also reduce the burden of medical treatment.
The specific amount of this money varies from place to place and in quantity. According to Chongqing's regulations, if you join the work in 1996, you can get an additional three percent of the pension after retirement in addition to the pension you deserve.
Family Bonus: Families with only one child will generally have an one-child family certificate. According to the requirements, in the family with this certificate, from the birth of the only child to a certain age, each year of this period can receive the corresponding subsidy, and the specific amount is different from place to place.
In hangzhou, for example, the restriction on the receipt of this subsidy is that the only child is not allowed to receive it after he reaches the age of fourteen. That is to say, the family can enjoy a subsidy of 100 yuan for fourteen consecutive years, although it is not much, it is still okay to pay for half a month's family living expenses.
The last allowance is a one-time one-time one-child allowance. However, this subsidy is not available until the parents of the only child meet the conditions for normal retirement, and the specific amount is also determined according to the region. It is understood that this subsidy in Shanghai is as high as five thousand yuan, and Beijing also has one thousand yuan.
In addition, there are two benefits for one-child families. Generally speaking, mainland law stipulates that a certain proportion of personal income tax will be paid for monthly income of more than 5,000, but this condition is much more relaxed for one-child families, more than 7,000, and only the part that exceeds the tax exemption will be paid. The other is nursing leave, the so-called nursing leave, that is, there are a certain number of days off every year to take care of the elderly, and this leave is paid. For example, in Henan, a twenty-day nursing leave a year has been introduced, which has made many people overjoyed.
It has to be said that in the face of the current situation that many young people are unwilling to get married and have children, the implementation of these welfare policies has indeed reduced the burden of one-child families to a certain extent. However, whether it is welfare or subsidies, it must be processed within the prescribed period, and if it expires, there is no way to make up for it.
