China News Service, March 3rd (Reporter Li Jinlei) He Dan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the China Population and Development Research Center, told Zhongxin Finance and Economics that it is recommended to focus on the youth employed population and aim to promote the balance of youth vocational education. Establish a subsidy mechanism for social security to support childbirth, optimize childbirth support policies without increasing financial burdens, and at the same time achieve the purpose of expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to "optimize the population development strategy, establish a fertility support policy system, and reduce the cost of childbirth, child rearing, and education."
He Dan said that around the optimization of childbearing services and the development of inclusive childcare, a series of supporting measures have been introduced in finance, taxation, insurance, housing, education, employment, etc., but there is a gap between the current childbearing support policy and the expectations of the masses. gap.
"Due to the overlap between the rising period of career development and childbearing time of young families, sound family welfare and childbearing social security have a significant role in supporting the childbearing of young families, and have a greater impact on the childbearing behavior of women participating in labor and employment." He Dan said, but at present, my country's society The support function of childcare security in the security and welfare system is weak, especially for the large number of flexible employees who are not stable in their jobs and the pressure of job competition is high, which restricts their willingness to have children.
He Dan suggested that the first is to learn from German experience and establish a mechanism for social security to support childbirth, focusing on providing targeted childcare subsidies to young employed workers.
The specific method is to return the basic pension insurance individual contributions for the childcare period from 0 to 3 years old to new employees who have children.
This move is also conducive to improving the attractiveness of the social security system and enabling more flexible employees to participate in social security for urban workers.
The second is to subsidize the basic endowment insurance paid by enterprises during the maternity leave of female employees of participating enterprises, so as to reduce the social insurance payment burden of enterprises employing more female employees and promote women's equal employment.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang have already explored the establishment of such a social security cooperative support birth mechanism in our country, and provided 6 months of subsidies to the social insurance contributions paid by the enterprises during the maternity leave of the second and third child of the female employees of the participating enterprises.
The third is to establish a childcare support mechanism for housing provident funds, allowing families with children aged 0-3 to withdraw housing provident funds for family childcare needs.
The meeting of childcare needs will be included in the same conditions as housing needs, and the function of housing provident funds to support childbearing will be expanded.
