How to take care of the children of double-income families during the epidemic

During the epidemic, two-income families take care of their children as follows:

1. Investigate and find out the base. The education department should investigate the families whose parents are in the front line of epidemic prevention and control (focusing on medical staff, public security traffic police, town (street) village (community) staff and other dual-income families) to understand the child care situation and difficulties of these families.

2. Case management and accurate assistance. For the children of dual-income workers in the front line of epidemic prevention and control, especially those who stay at home, the education department should make scientific overall plans, increase attention, arrange class teachers, class teachers and psychological counselors to implement one-on-one case management, provide online consultation and help, pay attention to their psychological state and give them more psychological communication and guidance.

Women's federations and other departments should take the lead in setting up a team of family volunteers to pair up with needy families and provide them with help in life, study and psychology.

3. Introduce policies to strengthen care. During the epidemic, government agencies, institutions and enterprises are encouraged to introduce temporary policies and innovative forms to help dual-income families who are fighting in the front line. If dual employees are enterprises, they can telecommute from home, or take paid annual leave, welfare leave stipulated by enterprises, rotation leave, transfer leave, etc. If dual employment is a system, care for women is the main thing.

One of the dual employees is a public institution and the other is an enterprise, giving priority to the staff of public institutions, implementing a vacation (rest) system, and giving priority to the use of annual leave. During the leave period, try to complete the tasks assigned by the unit at home, and advocate using platforms such as nailing, academic ability and OA to work flexibly at home or adopt flexible hours such as wrong time and flexibility.

Epidemic situation, dual-employee family policy

Some local governments have also issued some notices in response to the situation that the epidemic has caused children to suspend classes and have no one to look after them at home. For example, this year, Jinan issued the Notice on Supporting Home Care for Minor Children during the Employee Epidemic, which clearly pointed out that in a dual-employee family whose children receive compulsory education, one party can apply to the unit to take care of their children at home while their children are at home.

Only the application is limited to institutions, enterprises and institutions, excluding private enterprises. If it is a dual-employee family, and the children stay at home or go to school at home because of the epidemic, parents can only arrange the balance between work and family by themselves and see how to take care of their work and children at home.

For example, you can ask for leave, apply for personal leave, take your child to the workplace with the consent of the unit, or leave your child with relatives, friends or neighbors. If there is a custody service, you can also send your child to a custody center.
