The Zhejiang Health Commission investigates the cost of raising infants under 3 years old. What is the reason for this move? Let's discuss this issue below, hoping that this content can help friends in need.

During the Spring Festival holiday, a questionnaire survey called "The Cost of Raising Infants Under 3 Years Old" has been launched in Zhejiang Province. According to the published materials, in order to better understand the cost of raising infants under 3 years old and provide reasonable support for the next step in formulating relevant fertility policies, in accordance with the provisions of the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission’s Maternity and Children’s Division has produced the "Zhejiang Provincial Children and Infants Under 3 Years Old" "Infant and Child Raising Cost Questionnaire" and distributed "Maike Form Link" for in-depth investigation. The survey targets parents of infants and young children under 3 years old in Zhejiang Province, and the deadline is February 8.

The questions set in this questionnaire include "Assuming that the government provides a monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan for the second/third child (from birth to 3 years old), do you want to have a second child?" "One child/three children", "In 2021, couples will receive financial support from other sources (such as support from ancestors of infants)", etc.

In the past few years after the birth of a child, the expenses are particularly high, especially when many women today do not have the possibility of long-term exclusive breastfeeding either due to mental factors or physical factors. Or the royal family's purchase of milk powder is just a matter of the price and the total amount. As for milk powder, as long as they are not unscrupulous parents who don't have enough food to eat and don't care about their children, they should at least buy more than 100 yuan per barrel, which is 300 yuan per month. A discount of 10,000 yuan for three years is not included in the cost of replacing milk in the later period.

Children’s various necessities: regular replacement of bottles and nipples, diapers, children’s clothes that can be replaced quickly, quilts, strollers, etc. You can check the corresponding prices according to different economic conditions. .

The impact of women’s maternity leave on their income is also the same. If there are changes in work due to childbirth, the impact will be even higher. To take care of children, those who hire aunts will have to pay more for labor, and parents who come back to take care of them will also have to pay more. If you are taking care of your children by yourself, it must affect at least one person's work. Even if you are a freelancer, you must completely take up one person's time.
