Reducing the burden on raising children
On March 5, the government work report pointed out that it is necessary to improve the supporting measures of the three-child birth policy, include the cost of infant and child care for children under 3 years old in the special additional deduction of personal income tax, develop inclusive childcare services, and reduce the burden of family parenting.
Zhang Junting, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chief physician of the Department of Neurosurgery of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, suggested that various localities should introduce relevant policies according to local conditions to reduce the cost of childbirth, advocate that the third child go to kindergarten for free, and encourage some large enterprises and units to provide free childcare services.
Jin Li, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and acting vice president of southern university of science and technology, suggested that the individual tax threshold be greatly increased for families with more than three children, and that from the third child onwards, each person should be provided with a monthly birth subsidy until the child reaches adulthood.
Huang Yuguang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Department of Anesthesiology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, suggested that priority should be given to restoring the establishment and welfare of nurseries in state enterprises and institutions, ensuring that breastfeeding mothers have a set breastfeeding time of more than one hour on weekdays, so that children aged 0 to 3 can be nursed and grow up healthily.
Eliminate gender discrimination in women's employment
After the introduction of a series of policies to encourage fertility from the state to the locality, many netizens have discussed that to increase the fertility rate, it is necessary to first protect the relevant rights and interests of women in the workplace and eliminate gender discrimination in employment, otherwise it is "curing the symptoms but not the root causes".
Cui Yu, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former vice chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, proposed to clarify the legal definition and legal responsibility of gender discrimination in employment, increase law enforcement, punish gender discrimination in employment according to law, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of women in employment.
Huang Xihua, a deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Propaganda Department of Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, pointed out that it is proposed that the cost of extending maternity leave should be borne by the state. If the cost of extending maternity leave is borne by the enterprise, then the enterprise will try not to recruit female employees in order to save human resource costs. Therefore, the State Treasury should bear the cost of extending maternity leave and eliminating gender discrimination in the job market.
Xie Wenmin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of The Hubei Shouyi Law Firm, suggested that men should be forced to accompany women on maternity leave for one month, so that male compatriots can share the obligation to raise children. Some netizens expressed their approval that if you want to increase the fertility rate, you must reduce women's concerns about childbirth in child support, career development and other aspects.
Protect the legitimate rights and interests of full-time wives
In recent years, the issue of the protection of the rights and interests of full-time wives has received more and more attention. Wei Zhenling, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy procurator general of the Liuzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate in Guangxi Province, submitted a proposal proposing to establish a system for guaranteeing the professional rights of full-time family service members to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of full-time family service members.
Wei Zhenling suggested that members who resign and return to the family to undertake full-time service for special reasons and special periods (nursing and early childhood education period under 3 years old, taking care of disabled parents, spouses, etc.) can enjoy relevant benefits such as the accumulation of working years and labor social security; if one of the spouses chooses to return to the family to provide full-time services for the family, the personal income tax of the employing spouse can be appropriately reduced or reduced.
Women of appropriate age receive the HPV vaccine free of charge
At the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, a number of deputies and members suggested that free HPV vaccines be given to women of appropriate age.
Xu Ping, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine be included in the immunization program. Cai Weiping, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chief expert of the Infection Disease Center of the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, suggested that by amending the social insurance law, non-immunization program vaccines, including HPV vaccines and rabies vaccines, should be included in the scope of payment to prevent the occurrence of related diseases. Yue Xihuan, deputy to the National People's Congress and member of the Sixian County Party Committee and people's mediator in Anhui Province, will submit a proposal for free cervical cancer vaccine (HPV vaccine) for women of appropriate age.
