The Zhejiang Health Commission conducted a survey during the Lunar New Year period, which included assuming that the government subsidizes the birth of two/three children by 1,000 yuan per month (from birth to 3 deaths), are you willing to have a second/third child? This has aroused heated discussion among many mainland netizens.
It is alleged that the Women's and Children's Department of the Zhejiang Health commission produced the above-mentioned "Questionnaire on the Cost of Raising Infants and Young Children Under 3 Years old in Zhejiang Province" and distributed the "Ask star link" to carry out the investigation. The survey targeted parents of infants and young children under 3 years old in the province on February 8, in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the cost of raising infants and young children under 3 years old and provide scientific support for the next step of formulating relevant birth policies.
Questions set up in the Q&A include the questions: "Assuming that the government subsidizes the birth of two/three children by 1,000 yuan per month (from birth to 3 years old), would you be willing to have two or three children?" "In 2021, both husband and wife will receive financial support from other sources (such as support from the grandparents of infants and young children)" and so on. The questionnaire also asked respondents about the average monthly purchase of food, nutritional supplements, daily necessities, and household facilities for infants and young children in 2021, and asked about the care options of mothers during confinement after giving birth, and the average daily care time of parents and grandparents of infants and young children.
Although the questionnaire survey hinted that the birth of a second or third child may receive government subsidies in the future, many mainland netizens expressed their reluctance in the comments, "A cup of water!" The cost is too great to be worth the loss. If you want to be born, you are naturally happy to be born, and if you don't want to be born, you won't fight for a thousand dollars", how many cans of milk powder can you buy? 3. Ordinary people have thousands of yuan of milk powder money per month for a child, not to mention going to school, going to the hospital, and millions of marriage rooms in the future.
It is worth mentioning that in July last year, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, took the lead in issuing childcare subsidies to families with two or three children, with 500 yuan per child per month until the child died 3. In other words, starting from the second child, each child can receive a total of 18,000 yuan in subsidies. By the end of 2021, a total of 701 Thou families have declared, of which 650 Thou families meet the distribution criteria and are scheduled to be issued in the first quarter of 2022.
