With the continuous development of this society, the aging of the population has become a growing problem. In order to encourage the people to have children, the Japanese government has promulgated a series of policies to benefit the people. Today I will take you to understand, what is the difference between having a child in Japan and in China?
1. Family members can accompany childbirth
In Japan, most families choose to produce escorts. Husbands or family members can enter the delivery room to witness the birth of a new member of the family. With the care of a family member, pregnant women will be more at ease when giving birth. Other relatives can also give birth to a difficult community, which will help to enhance the feelings between family members, and other family members will be more attentive to the mother and child in the future.
2. Mothers do not need to confinement
In the traditional impression of Chinese, a woman must confinement after giving birth. Not only do you need to be cared for, but you also need to observe many dietary taboos. During confinement, pregnant women cannot wash their hair and bathe, cannot eat cold food, and cannot be subjected to cool breezes so that the confinement does not sit well, leaving sequelae.
However, there are no such special requirements in Japan. The midwife will recommend that the mother should focus on quiet recuperation during the wound recovery period, arrange activities according to personal circumstances, generally take a bath within 3 days, and go out for a walk after 21 days.
3. Mothers advocate natural childbirth
The Japanese view of vaginal births and caesarean sections is that they should give birth naturally when it is safe. Unlike China's concept of "smart children born to children", Japanese pregnant women do not eat and drink at will during pregnancy, but manage their body weight in the early stages of pregnancy to avoid other health problems caused by weight surges.
At the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, the midwife talks to the mother-to-be and gives some guidance on daily life during pregnancy. Give them a variety of knowledge about obesity and pregnancy risks, and avoid difficult childbirth in the later stages because the child is too large. The diet controls oil, salt and sugar, and dinner is mainly vegetables, and try not to eat after 8 pm.
Japanese hospitals are all maternity three meals and do not require special care from family members. Diapers, milk powder, and everything for pregnant women during hospital stays are provided by the hospital. Basically, you can go to the hospital empty-handed.
4. Attend the Parents Training for Beginners
In various health clinics and maternity hospitals in Japan, special training courses for new parents are set up to help expectant mothers and fathers understand the precautions from pregnancy to childbirth. Doing so helps them become familiar with the production environment and the production process in advance, thereby relieving emotional anxiety.
Secondly, new mothers can also get to know other pregnant friends through these activities. I believe that with the enlightenment and companionship of friends who have experienced together, the mood will be more stable.
5. A series of government policies to benefit the people
In Japan, for children between the ages of 0 and 15, the government pays a monthly subsidy of about 10,000 yen (about 500 yuan). When a child gets sick and goes to the hospital, the government reimburses 70 to 90 percent of the medical expenses. Japanese children also enjoy 9 years of free compulsory education, tuition fees are free during kindergarten, and the annual tuition fee for university is also very low.
Maternity leave is also higher in Japan than in Japan. Maternity has 42 days of leave before giving birth and 56 days after childbirth. This is followed by the "Childcare Leave Allowance", which is called "Parenting Leave" from the second day after the end of the "Maternity Leave", that is, from the 57th day after childbirth to the day before the baby reaches the age of 1. During this period, if the employer does not pay wages or the salary does not exceed the amount of the "childcare leave benefit", it can receive this part of the cost paid by the employment insurance that you join.
