Why don't you want to give birth and dare not give birth? A sample survey will be launched soon
On October 14-15, the first training course on capacity building of national population monitoring points and sampling survey of Chinese population and family development status was held in Xining, Qinghai. Just three days ago, on October 11, the National Bureau of Statistics officially approved the sampling survey system and program of Chinese population and family development, and the holding of the training course marked the beginning of the organization and implementation stage of the survey.
The survey will be selected from 150 monitoring counties, 1,500 communities (villages), survey sample of 30,000 people, the survey content will focus on the main factors affecting the people's fertility willingness and reproductive behavior, understand the practical difficulties and needs of families in childbirth and parenting, and comprehensively analyze the reasons for "not wanting to have children, not daring to give birth", so as to provide a scientific basis for improving fertility support policies and incentive measures, effectively solving the people's "urgency, difficulty and hope", and promoting the implementation of fertility policies.
Affected by multiple factors such as the decrease in the number of women of childbearing age, changes in conception of childbearing, and the postponement of marriage and childbearing, the birth rate of the mainland population has continued to decline in recent years. In 2022, the annual birth population in mainland China will be 9.56 million, and the birth rate will be 6.77 per thousand. According to public information, this is the first time since 1950 that the annual birth population has fallen below 10 million.
In order to solve this problem, since 2021, many places from the provincial level to cities and counties have explored the childcare subsidy system. Guangdong, Zhejiang, Hunan, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Fujian and other places have proposed to encourage childbirth through the subsidy system. Compared with the requirements at the provincial level, some prefecture-level cities, districts and counties such as Panzhihua, Hanzhong, Shenyang, Wenzhou, Shaoxing, and Weifang have introduced more detailed measures to provide subsidies for two- and three-child families. In addition to the cash subsidy, Beijing, Changsha and other places have also superimposed policy preferences in housing and other aspects. Hubei Province, Chengdu, Sichuan, Zhoukou, Henan, Shiyan, Hubei and other places have issued notices to further improve the treatment of maternity medical security.
Some experts believe that from a deep perspective, in the fertility culture of modern society, the value of fertility itself is gradually weakening, materialism and individualism are developing, and people's motivation for fertility is decreasing. In the era of family planning, a fertility culture of "only one child is good" was formed, and when the one-child generation entered childbearing age, they also took having one child as the basic form of family life. However, in the context of low fertility, this fertility culture faces change.
More than 10 provinces have included cochlear implants in medical insurance, and the maximum reimbursement is 450,000
There are about 27.8 million hearing-impaired people in mainland China, and cochlear implants are an effective way to let them hear the world, but cochlear implants are expensive, which discourages many hearing-impaired people. Up to now, more than 10 provinces such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang have successively included cochlear implants in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, with a maximum payment standard of 450,000 yuan.
More than 170 patients in Jiangxi have been treated since they were included in their medical insurance last September. A doctor in the Department of Otolaryngology at Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital said that after the new medical insurance policy was implemented, Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital has treated more than 120 hearing-impaired patients, with an average cost of 240,000-250,000 yuan and a reimbursement ratio of 70% to 90%.
In order to greatly reduce the burden on medical insurance funds and patients, the National Health Insurance Administration said that in the next step, high-value medical consumables such as cochlear implants will be included in the scope of centralized procurement. It is understood that since the implementation of the national centralized drug procurement in 2018, the average price of centralized drug procurement has decreased by more than 50% through the group purchase method of "volume for price".
Xiao Ci said:
It is expected that more policies for special groups will be implemented, so that the "voice" of the hearing-impaired will become a "new voice".

"Adequate food is a fundamental and inalienable human right of every human being. Currently, the world's total food production is sufficient to feed the global population. But around the world, some 730 million people are still hungry due to ongoing local conflicts and instability, increasingly frequent extreme weather events, persistent inequalities, and economic recessions that have yet to bottom out. How to implement this basic right so that everyone can not only eat, but also enjoy a rich and diverse diet is an important issue that we should think about and fight for together. ”
(On October 16, World Food Day, QU Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, published a signed article calling on the world to take concrete actions to fully implement the "right to food" and build a new pattern of healthy, nutritious and affordable dietary systems.) ）
