Recently, Shandong plans to set up a paternity leave, which will be extended by the only child as appropriate, and the news related to caring for and visiting the elderly has attracted attention. With the acceleration of China's aging population, the topic of pension continues to heat up. According to the incomplete statistics of Zhongxin Jingwei client, up to now, at least 15 places in the country have implemented the relevant policies of "one-child nursing leave", and another 6 places are following up.
15 places have implemented the one-child nursing leave
The National Health Commission pointed out that this year is the 20th year of China's population aging. In 1999, China had 130 million elderly people, accounting for 10%, and in 2018, 249 million elderly people, accounting for 17.9%. During the 20 years, China's population aging has developed rapidly. From now to 2050, the population over 60 years old will increase from 250 million to nearly 500 million.
According to the incomplete statistics of Zhongxin Jingwei client, up to now, at least 13 provinces such as Yunnan, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Henan, Hebei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Hubei, Hainan, Guangxi and Fujian, as well as two cities such as Huai'an and Guangzhou have issued specific regulations related to the "only child and daughter nursing leave".
It is found that the length of nursing leave for only children in all regions is concentrated at 10-20 days per year. In addition, 8 places such as Guangxi, Hainan and Sichuan also stipulate that non only children can also enjoy this treatment, and the length of nursing leave per year shall not exceed 10 days.
Zhang Zhixin, associate professor of the school of urban economics and public management of Capital University of economics and trade, told the China Singapore Jingwei client that he supports the government's introduction of targeted pension service policies. At the same time, the government should also dredge, straighten out the relationship between demand and supply, and encourage social capital, volunteers and other social forces to participate in pension services.
Zhang Zhixin also said that the government should maintain the elderly care service market, let all factors flow smoothly, and provide more help to elderly care services.
Another six policies are still on the way
It is found that up to now, six places such as Shandong, Xi'an, Shenzhen, Beijing, Liaoning and Nanjing have explored the establishment of the one-child nursing leave system. In addition, many places have proposed to fully liberalize the pension market and guide and encourage social forces and market subjects to actively participate in the supply of pension services.
On October 28 this year, Shandong Provincial Health Commission issued the provisions on preferential treatment of the elderly in Shandong Province (Draft for comments), which proposed to support children to care for and visit the elderly according to law. The employer shall allow employees to ask for leave to visit and accompany their elderly parents on their birthday or during hospitalization due to illness, so as to create conditions for their children to provide spiritual comfort to their elderly parents. For employees who are only children, the accompanying time shall be extended as appropriate.
On October 28 this year, Xi'an regulations on the promotion of elderly care services (Revised Draft) was submitted to the 27th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 16th Municipal People's Congress for deliberation. " The revised draft stipulates that during the hospitalization of the elderly, the employer of their children shall support nursing care, give the only child 20 days a year and the non only child 10 days a year, and enjoy the same salary during the nursing period as during the normal work period.
On September 18 this year, the decision of the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress on building a high-level elderly care service system (Draft for comments) was publicly solicited on the website of the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress. " The exposure draft clearly proposes to promote the establishment of one-child nursing leave and reduce the pressure of family care.
Han Keqing, Professor of the school of labor and personnel of Renmin University of China, pointed out in an interview with the China Singapore Jingwei client that with the acceleration of aging, it is necessary to protect the rights of children to accompany the elderly. More importantly, it is necessary to build an effective elderly care service security system at the national level. Government financial and policy support is also indispensable to cultivate and promote the construction of elderly care service market.
Can the one-child care leave really be implemented?
"This policy is good. I hope the whole country can realize it! Does the enterprise have tax preference after implementation, and will it be punished if it does not implement it? All policies are good, and the key is to implement them. " Many netizens doubt whether the one-child nursing leave system can really be implemented.
Han Keqing believes that with the introduction of nursing leave, the government needs to follow up relevant supporting measures to ensure the implementation of the policy. For example, what substantive measures does the government take to encourage enterprises to be willing to give employees holidays; How can an enterprise get benefits while giving employees nursing holidays.
Han Keqing also said that the implementation of nursing leave should not only benefit the elderly, nor harm the interests of other aspects of individuals. At present, the relevant nursing leave systems are at the local level. What needs to be considered is that many children and the elderly are in different places. There must be a higher-level communication mechanism or connection mechanism to ensure the implementation of the nursing leave system.
Zhang Zhixin suggested to further improve the laws, regulations and policies related to the labor leave system, implement the inclusive leave system for the whole people, and let more children have time to accompany the elderly.
