What particularly attracts the attention of young parents in this notice is undoubtedly the clear proposal of the main principles, procedural requirements, basic basis, reference factors, and other contents for formulating the benchmark fee standards for inclusive childcare services. In response to the unclear charging policies and non-standard management of social welfare inclusive childcare service institutions, as well as the high charging standards of some institutions that enjoy the benefits of government support policies, this move aims to reduce the high prices by clarifying the reference range of charging standards and implementing government guided price management. Making childcare service agencies clear about their fees and allowing young parents of infants and young children to pay fees clearly is not only a need to develop affordable and quality universal childcare services, but also a practical measure to alleviate young people's childcare anxiety. The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Health Commission recently issued a notice on further improving the price formation mechanism and supporting the construction of a universal childcare service system. This is the first pricing policy document for childcare services at the national level. The notice specifies that the basic service fees of public childcare service institutions will be managed at government guided prices, and inclusive childcare service institutions will establish a directory list of basic and other service fees. No other fees shall be charged outside the directory list. The Notice directly addresses the childcare anxiety that young people are generally concerned about, aiming to improve the pricing mechanism, promote the expansion of inclusive childcare service supply, and effectively reduce the overall burden of childcare. The concept of 'good education for young children' is not only related to the happiness of every household, but also essential for the high-quality development of the population. With the development of China's economy and society, the trend of family miniaturization is becoming increasingly evident, and intergenerational caregiving capabilities are weakening. More and more families require high-quality childcare services. According to data from the National Health Commission, there are approximately 30 million infants and young children under the age of 3 in China, and over 30% of families with infants and young children have a need for daycare. As the "main force" of the current fertility army, the "80s" and "90s" face greater competition for employment and also need to consider the issues of parental support and child rearing. It can be said that they need to both "manage themselves" and "consider the future". In the current era of rapid economic and social transformation, the time and financial costs involved in various aspects such as childbirth, parenting, and education are relatively high, and childcare anxiety has become a hurdle that these novice parents must overcome. In recent years, relevant departments of the country have introduced a series of policies to increase the supply of childcare services and reduce the burden on families, from implementing major special projects to support the construction of a number of comprehensive childcare service centers, public childcare institutions, and inclusive childcare spaces, to including the cost of caring for infants and young children under 3 years old in the special deduction of personal income tax and increasing the deduction standards, to implementing demonstration projects supported by the central government for the development of inclusive childcare services. At the same time, we should also note that most young parents currently prefer public or inclusive childcare institutions, but most of the childcare institutions on the market are for-profit institutions, and the fees for childcare services exceed the affordability of many young people, resulting in a mismatch between resources and demand. Data shows that in 2023, private childcare institutions in China will account for 89.5% of all childcare institutions, with an average childcare service fee (excluding meal fees) of 1978 yuan/person/month. In first tier cities, the fee is above 5500 yuan/person/month, which is significantly lower than the payment ability and expectations of young families. Therefore, starting from the price and standardizing the construction of the childcare service system is an important breakthrough to solve the problems of unclear pricing principles and inadequate fee management mechanisms for inclusive childcare services in some places. What particularly attracts the attention of young parents in this notice is undoubtedly the clear proposal of the main principles, procedural requirements, basic basis, reference factors, and other contents for formulating the benchmark fee standards for inclusive childcare services. In response to the unclear charging policies and non-standard management of social welfare inclusive childcare service institutions, as well as the high charging standards of some institutions that enjoy the benefits of government support policies, this move aims to reduce the high prices by clarifying the reference range of charging standards and implementing government guided price management. Making childcare service agencies clear about their fees and allowing young parents of infants and young children to pay fees clearly is not only a need to develop affordable and quality universal childcare services, but also a practical measure to alleviate young people's childcare anxiety. Childcare is an important livelihood and a systematic project. To make childcare prices more reasonable, it is necessary not only for government departments to regulate and guide, but also to face many challenges that childcare institutions need to face, such as high venue and personnel costs, unstable student sources, and weak risk resistance. On the one hand, the government needs to effectively reduce enterprise investment and operating costs through construction subsidies, operation subsidies, rent reductions, land security, tax incentives, and other means. On the other hand, childcare institutions need to continuously innovate their business models, strengthen service quality and effectiveness, enhance their competitive advantages, establish reputation, and achieve income diversification through cross disciplinary resource integration. Standardizing prices is a breakthrough to alleviate the anxiety of young people in childcare, but it is not the only breakthrough. How to further increase the supply of inclusive childcare service institutions, provide childcare services that satisfy young parents in terms of safety, geographical location, price standards, and teacher level, and how to develop quality evaluation standards according to different regional development levels, so as to promote the development of childcare services towards popularization, inclusiveness, safety, and quality, etc., all require us to combine problem oriented and goal oriented approaches and come up with more practical methods. Fortunately, at the national level, various policies to regulate the development of the childcare industry are being introduced one after another, and top-level design plans are becoming increasingly clear. We hope that through the joint efforts of various regions and departments, childcare matters can be quickly removed from the anxiety list of young parents. (New Society)
