01 Maternity subsidies motivate the performance of duties
In recent years, many places have successively promoted a series of positive birth support measures, such as the payment of maternity allowances and childcare subsidies.
Yunnan: 2,000 yuan for two-child birth and 5,000 yuan for three-child birth
Jinan, Shandong: Two-child and three-child families will receive a childcare subsidy of 600 yuan per child per month
Changsha, Hunan Province: A one-time childcare subsidy of 10,000 yuan
Harbin, Heilongjiang: Families with three children receive a childcare subsidy of 1,000 yuan per child per month
Shenyang, Liaoning Province: A monthly childcare subsidy of 500 yuan for three children
Jingmen, Hubei: Three-child families receive a monthly housing subsidy of 500 yuan
Everywhere, including the northeast of the population depression and the populous province of Shandong, each family is taking responsibility for social integrity through rewards, urging (not yet to the point of command).
"In the matter of giving birth to children, it is impossible to pull new ones, and we can only rely on subsidies to activate old users to complete KPIs." An operation student of a large Internet factory summarized. However, the cost of an app to pull new is as high as 300-500 yuan, how much can these small subsidies and incentives play in a family's daily life?
Talk is better than nothing. In any case, the birth subsidy can also be counted as a means of modern civilization. In the past, some places used punishment for not having children.
For example, in a village in Chenggong, Yunnan, there is an annual gathering where anyone who marries and does not have children is punished with wine and worships the gods. If the punishment is not born, the unscrupulous man is pressed to the ground and spanked. (Fei Xiaotong, "Birth System", P214)
Having children is the vocation of a social element. Those who are married must fulfill this vocation.
02 From multiple birth penalties to subsidy incentives
The world has really changed, as the main force that may enjoy incentive subsidies - most of the post-80s generation are only children, and their parents' experiences can be completely different.
If their parents had dared to have a second child, public officials would have been unable to secure their jobs, and non-public officials would have faced hefty fines.
The father of the dormitory roommate when the skirt master was in graduate school was the former. In order to give birth to his brother, Dad lost his job. But at the moment when my brother gave birth, my father was very pleased to say the words "God treats me with old thunder".
However, when my younger brother was 6 years old, my father unfortunately died of depression under the long-term pressure of not having a stable income but supporting a family of four.
From "only giving birth to one is good, everyone who gives birth to a second child is punished", to subsidies to encourage multiple births, giving birth to two children and giving birth to three, but only 40 years.
It's really "Hedong Hexi, Thirty Erl". If the skirt owner's roommate dad sees such a change in policy in another world, I wonder if he will hate himself for being born in the wrong era?
03 Don't have any illusions about your children
Providing birth subsidies to encourage the birth of two and three children can only be regarded as a "conservative" policy, and the attention and popularity are far less than Sichuan Province's "birth registration and removal of marriage restrictions". As soon as the regulation came out, it was interpreted as Sichuan encouraging children out of wedlock and occupying Weibo's hot search for a long time.
Later, the Sichuan Health Commission gave an official response, saying that it was not encouraging or advocating unmarried pregnancy and unmarried childbirth, but shifting the focus of birth registration to fertility intentions and birth results.
However, the Shenzhen Health Commission responded to the brotherly unit's approach in a witty tone - do not have any illusions about marriage - which can be described as directly to reality and to the hearts of the people.
There are more and more people who marry late, have children late, and are infertile, and some experts say that young people are stressed, but more are pointing at women. To put it nicely, it is the rise of women's economic independence and spiritual independence; To put it mildly, women who don't have children are feminist.
Times are progressing, and family patterns are changing. In the past, the male protagonist and the female protagonist had a common child, forming a stable triangular relationship.
Now, the woman is not only inside the main but also outside the main body, it doesn't matter much whether there is a marriage or not, and then give birth to a child in October, not to mention how much the opportunity cost of the loss in these 10 months is, how to calculate the cost input and output of the future life.
Having children is like a long-term equity investment, accounting according to the equity method, investing real money, and constantly adding more. Thankfully if the child is present, but don't expect dividends; If it doesn't make it, it's all a loss. In the end, the family was divided and calculated a general ledger, and the loss was huge.
Moreover, various resources in the country are in short supply, and children enter a volatile environment from birth. Those who are willing to give birth are either with sufficient resources, or the ignorant are fearless, self-awareness has not yet awakened, and the middle class stuck in the middle is very cautious.
Also, everyone is too competitive, they all want to compete to earn a lot of money and live an elite life, after all, only with money can they live decently. In Western countries, many 40/50-year-old middle-aged people work as supermarket tally clerks and restaurant waiters, and they are content with no so-called "career planning". Of course, differences in social security mechanisms determine the definition of a successful/happy life.
But in any case, "children are not a necessity of life" has become the consensus of more and more women.
04 Having children is a matter of self-interest
WHETHER THE PRESSURE IS HIGH OR NOT, DOUBLE JING (ECONOMIC & SPIRITUAL) INDEPENDENCE REFLECTS THE "SMALL PROGRESS" OF THE TIMES, AFTER ALL, THE RHETORIC OF "NO FILIAL PIETY HAS THREE, AND NO LATER IS GREAT" IS NO LONGER THE MAIN RHETORIC.
In fact, the policy encourages more children, and the goal is nothing more than to maintain social metabolism and maintain social integrity. However, "having children to maintain society's metabolism is a catch-all phrase." ”
"It's because there's no one who has to have a baby. Social integrity can be maintained as long as the population is not reduced to the point where it cannot be effectively functioned. If someone has more children, someone can not have to have children. ”
Specific to the individual, "there is really no reason why it is necessary to have children", and "childbirth is a matter of self-interest". But "if society does not take this matter as a comprehensive responsibility, social integrity will be insecure." ”
See it, right? Encouraging the birth of children is to ensure the integrity of society, but having children is self-defeating. The body is the capital of the revolution, but the fact of having children itself is consuming women's capital, and there are many such negative cases around skirt owners.
A colleague was almost blind because he did not sit down well during the confinement, and took a year and a half of maternity leave before returning to work, during which he only received a basic salary of 1800 a month.
A body is so weak that it has been moxibustion for two years, and the bones still feel like whizzing into the cool breeze.
A second child gave birth to half a life, and the doctor said that he must not regenerate in the future, and the regenerated half of his life was gone.
And Tang Wei faces embarrassing experiences such as frequent urination and urine leakage after giving birth, which many women will experience after giving birth.
Therefore, to be born or not, you must think clearly in advance.
Finally, the words in quotation marks were not said by the skirt owner, but by Fei Xiaotong, a sociology titan.
