　　Author: Lin Xiaozhao

　　Recently, various localities have continued to intensively release policies and measures to encourage fertility.

　　Yunnan recently issued the "Implementation Plan on Optimizing the Birth Policy to Promote the Long-term Balanced Development of the Population" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which clarifies that from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025, the newly-born and registered household registration in Yunnan will be implemented. One-time maternity subsidies of 2,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan for children with three children and three children, and 800 yuan of child-rearing subsidies on an annual basis.

　　The "Plan" mentions that places where conditions permit are encouraged to establish a three-child education subsidy system.

In pre-school education and compulsory education, in principle, children of families with multiple children should be arranged to study in the same kindergarten and school.

　　Dong Yuzheng, a population expert and director of the Guangdong Population Development Research Institute, analyzed Yicai.com. Now all localities are implementing the spirit of the central and national ministries and commissions according to their actual conditions, and they are all trying to propose and implement policies and measures to support active fertility. .

At present, many regions are exploring to give birth subsidies to children who have three children.

Yunnan encourages qualified places to establish a three-child education subsidy system, which is a good policy direction.

Relevant units can implement it according to the principle of "do your best and do what you can".

　　Dong Yuzheng said that what kind of standard the subsidy should reach and how long the subsidy will be, these can be further refined.

"The question now is how to turn the principled call and guidance into practical actions, refine the policies of benefiting the people into measures to benefit the people, and turn them into actions that benefit the people, so that the masses can enjoy real benefits."

　　Outside Yunnan, many places have clearly proposed to establish a childcare (birth) subsidy system before.

For example, in early August, Hunan Changsha wrote that for local households with three or more children legally born to both husband and wife, each child with three or more children can enjoy a one-time childcare subsidy of 10,000 yuan.

According to the Changsha Municipal Health Commission, according to estimates, this subsidy will require an annual investment of about 20 million yuan.

　　According to Heilongjiang media reports, the Health and Health Committee of the Greater Xing'anling Region recently issued an announcement soliciting opinions on the "Work Plan for Optimizing the Birth Policy and Promoting the Long-term Balanced Development of the Population in the Greater Xing'anling Region (Draft for Comment)".

The plan proposes that a one-time reward of 20,000 yuan will be given to couples who have household registration in the Greater Xing'anling area and who work and live in the area when they have a third child.

A child-raising subsidy of 300 yuan per month for the second child, 500 yuan per month for the third child, until the child is 3 years old.

　　In addition to childcare subsidies, among the measures to support births introduced by various places since last year, many places have tried to reflect their own characteristics and innovations based on their own actual conditions.

For example, Jilin proposed to provide credit support for marriage and childbirth.

Support banking institutions to provide up to 200,000 yuan of marriage and childbirth consumer loans for registered married couples who meet relevant conditions, and give different interest rate discounts according to the birth of one child, second child, and third child.

　　Zhejiang proposes that within the age of 3, employers are encouraged to allow employees who are suitable for telecommuting to work by combining home office and workplace office.

　　In terms of housing, the Chongqing Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Policies of Housing Provident Fund Personal Housing Loans" on September 2, proposing that if families with more than one child contribute to a worker's family apply for a housing provident fund personal housing loan, the maximum personal loan amount will be increased to 600,000 yuan; for couples participating in the loan, the maximum family loan amount is increased to 1.2 million yuan.

　　To encourage childbirth, we need to consider marriage, childbirth, parenting, and education, and implement comprehensive policies.

Among them, in terms of marriage, the data shows that in 2021, 7.643 million pairs of marriages will be registered in accordance with the law, a decrease of 6.1% over the previous year.

This is the first time since 2003 that the number of marriages has fallen below the 8 million mark, and the lowest figure in 36 years (the Ministry of Civil Affairs website has data since 1986).

The "post-90s" and "post-00s" are the new subjects of marriage and childbirth, and the phenomenon of delayed marriage and childbirth is prominent.

　　Yunnan's "Plan" this time proposes to guide social forces to promote age-appropriate marriage and childbirth among young people of appropriate age, and to use trade unions, the Communist Youth League, the Women's Federation and other mass organizations, social organizations and youth volunteer service teams to build platforms and hold activities to build marriages for young people. bridge.

Establish marriage agencies in qualified communities and rural areas, focusing on providing marriage introduction services for older unmarried young people.

　　Dong Yuzheng believes that this measure has positive practical significance.

At present, many older unmarried young people are also the backbone of the unit. They are in the rising stage of their careers. Time is tight, tasks are heavy, and pressure is high.

Setting up a marriage agency can help them find their true love, provide a platform and create conditions to help them "get off the single" as soon as possible and build a happy family.

This is a concrete measure to build a fertility-friendly society and a family-friendly society.

　　Ding Changfa, an associate professor of the Department of Economics at Xiamen University, analyzed the first financial reporter. In the future, the encouragement of fertility should be strengthened, it must be truly implemented, and the "pain points" must be targeted, so as to truly solve the difficulty of marriage and the inability of young people to have children and support them. And other issues.
