On the eve of Children’s Day, the three-child policy came:
We will implement the policy and supporting measures to improve the population structure of our country and implement the national strategy to actively respond to the aging of the population.
Not only in China, but in many countries around the world, aging populations and low fertility rates are problems that cannot be avoided.
"Nursing is expensive and education is tiring." For the opening of the three-child policy, people are more interested in "supportive measures", namely What are the parenting benefits? How far is it from the real implementation to benefit every family?
As Asia’s most developed and well-known two countries with super high childcare welfare:
Singapore and Japan have fallen into the predicament of population problems earlier.

Japan
In order to encourage people to have children, the Japanese authorities have recently compiled the outline of the "Children's Comprehensive Basic Act", and plans to expand the scope of child allowances< /strong>and will set up "Children Province" (administrative mechanism).
1 < strong>Child Allowance
In order to alleviate the population problem of "aging and declining birthrate", the Japanese government has been introducing policies. The current "child allowance" policy implemented is:
① 0~3 years old: 15,000 yen/person/month
② From 3 years old to elementary school graduation: 10,000 yen/person/month, and 15,000 yen/person/month for the third child and beyond
③ Elementary school graduation ~ junior high school graduation: 10,000 yen/person/month
④ Junior high school graduation ~ high school graduation: 10,000 yen/person/month (under discussion)
Japanese citizens and foreign countries holding "business management visa", "study visa" and other medium- and long-term visas Anyone can apply.
2 Parenting subsidy
After confirming that you are pregnant for more than 4 months, you will receive a subsidy of 420,000 yen,< strong>The twins will receive 840,000 yen. This policy applies to all insured persons who pay National Health Insurance.
3 Maternity benefits
From 42 days before childbirth to 56 days after childbirth, the pregnant woman’s company does not pay wages or pays wages lower than "Maternity Allowance", you can get the "maternity allowance" paid by the health insurance association you joined.
4 Other supporting measures
In addition, there are a number of subsidies such as single-parent child family subsidies, pregnant women’s health check-up tickets, etc., as well as matchmaker compensation, childbirth Congratulations, the child education is completely free, the National Health Insurance, the taxi dedicated to pregnant women...
From the birth of the child to the subsidy for schooling, Japan’s policies basically cover all aspects, and foreigners can also receive it, which is very humane!
However, solving the population problem is not a day’s work. This is the experience of many countries.
Being a parent is a big deal. In addition to "distributing money," a multi-pronged approach to marriage, childbirth, parenting, education, female employment, taxation, and housing may be the best supporting measures for raising a baby right now.
In addition to Singapore and Japan, there are many European and American countries that have very high social security benefits to solve the problems and hidden worries of birth, old age, illness and death, and live a stable and happy life without pressure!
