A few days ago, Shanxi Coking Coal Xishan Coal Power Co., Ltd. revised and issued the "Measures for the Administration of Population and Family Planning of Xishan Coal and Power (Group) Co., Ltd." in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, combined with the actual situation of enterprises. The "Measures" clearly stipulate that employees of group companies whose children are under the age of three shall be given parental leave on the 15th of each year by the units where the husband and wife are located. The parental leave clearly stipulates that male employees also have leave qualifications, which can not only enhance their sense of participation as fathers in the process of raising children, but also appropriately reduce the burden of parenting of children's mothers, if the elderly help to see the children, they can also give the elderly a proper "holiday".
The "Measures" also stipulate that employees of group companies who meet the provisions of Shanxi Province on population and family planning, and whose children have reached the age of one and are less than three years old and enter the kindergarten, will be given a monthly infant and child education fee subsidy of 200 yuan after review by the health department. Maternity leave for female employees shall be extended by 60 days on the basis of enjoying the 98 days prescribed by the State and the province, of which 15 days of leave may be taken before childbirth. In the case of obstructed labour, maternity leave is increased by 15 days; in cases of multiple births, the maternity leave is increased by 15 days for each additional baby. Whether it is marriage leave, maternity leave or parental leave, during this period they enjoy the same treatment as those on the job.
Some of the coal mines under the jurisdiction of Xishan Coal and Power Are located in the middle of nowhere, and there is a shortage of local childcare institutions with a small number, high prices, and inclusive childcare institutions suitable for the working class. As a result, many families have to turn to the elderly on both sides to help with child-rearing. However, some elderly people have not yet retired, and can only take time to "work overtime" to take care of their children; some elderly people have retired and have to lose their "freedom" and "go to work" again. The implementation of Xishan coal power parental leave allows the elderly to get rest, let parents get close to their children, employees can alleviate the conflict between work and childcare in time and energy, and reduce the cost of raising young children in families to a certain extent, thereby alleviating fertility anxiety, improving fertility willingness, and helping family harmony and happiness.

Short comments
In the face of the current low willingness to have children, high childcare pressure, and the aging of the population, state-owned enterprises take the initiative to assume social responsibility, actively take out real money and silver, and seek well-being for employees, and the timely introduction of the "Xishan Coal and Power (Group) Co., Ltd. Population and Family Planning Management Measures" can be described as full of sincerity.
The responsibility of caring for the family does not distinguish between genders, and the love of parents is equally important in the happy journey of life that cares for the growth of children. Take the initiative to assume social responsibility, take out real money and silver, seek the well-being of employees, and praise Xishan Coal Power!
