Write the optimization of fertility policy and supporting measures into the government's work report or include them in the people's livelihood facts, improve the maternity leave system, issue maternity allowances and childcare subsidies, strengthen housing security support, and improve childcare security policies... In recent years, various regions have successively promoted a series of positive fertility support measures, which have attracted social attention. Population development is "the largest of the country", and the fertility policy is related to the harmony and happiness of millions of households. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to optimize the population development strategy, establish a fertility support policy system, and reduce the cost of fertility, parenting and education. According to the experts interviewed, the improvement and implementation of positive fertility support measures in all regions are in line with economic and social development and the expectations of the people, and the effect is gradually emerging. We should continue to promote the "package" policy covering marriage, childbearing, care, education, housing and other aspects as a whole, and form institutional synergy to build a child-friendly society. Explore various forms of subsidies to reduce the burden of child-care families. "Now our family can receive a child-care subsidy of 500 yuan per month, and we don't need to pay for diapers." Mr. Yang, a resident of Donghua Street, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, has two children, and the second child is 1 and a half years old this year. He said that the second child needs about 455 yuan per month for diapers, 315 yuan for milk powder, and 250 yuan for toys and clothing. The total monthly cost is about 1000 yuan. The subsidy can cover half of the childcare expenses. Mr. Yang is one of the first people in the country to apply for childcare subsidies. From 2021, Panzhihua City will be the first in the country to launch the policy of providing childcare subsidies to local registered residence families with two or more children, with 500 yuan per child per month until the child is 3 years old. The local government has also formulated and implemented the "Eight Measures to Create a Bright Business Card of a Friendly Fertility Environment City" to build a fertility service guarantee system covering pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, childbirth and housing. How effective are these policies? According to the information released by the Panzhihua Municipal Government earlier, compared with the data of the year before the implementation of the policy, from July 2021 to June 2022, the local second child birth increased by 5.58% and the third child birth increased by 168.4%. Driven by national policy incentives, local fertility subsidies and service guarantee policies, people's fertility enthusiasm has indeed improved to some extent. Mr. Yang said that more than a year after the policy was introduced, many colleagues who were interested in having a second child became pregnant and gave birth. He also admitted that he had no intention of having three children recently. In addition to Panzhihua, many places have recently introduced policies to encourage fertility through cash subsidies and other forms. In January this year, the Shenzhen Municipal Health and Health Commission of Guangdong Province solicited opinions on the Administrative Measures for Parenting Subsidies in Shenzhen, and initially proposed to distribute childcare subsidies to citizens in a differentiated and progressive manner. Families with one child can receive 7500 yuan in total, families with two children can receive 11000 yuan in total, and families with three children can receive 19000 yuan in total. Jinan, Shandong Province, issued the Implementation Plan for Optimizing Fertility Policy and Promoting Long-term and Balanced Development of Population in Jinan City in January this year, which proposed that for families with two or three children born in the city after January 1, 2023, a monthly childcare allowance of 600 yuan should be issued for each child, among which, the minimum living allowance, the special poverty support personnel and the childbearing women during the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits should be additionally paid a monthly childcare allowance of 200 yuan
