A reward of 1 million for giving birth to a child, do you think it is reasonable?

Do you think it is reasonable to reward 1 million yuan for giving birth to a child?

In response to the low fertility crisis, population economist Liang Jianzhang expressed his concerns and proposed a reward of 100 yuan for giving birth to a child. Ten thousand. In a 2020 survey, what Chinese people spend the most on is "education and training", far exceeding housing. It can be said that for many children from kindergarten to college, the financial foundation behind them is the family’s financial foundation.

Recently, a blockbuster data was released, the seventh national census data was released! There are several key figures that have attracted everyone's attention: the national population is 1,411.78 million. Our country's population has continued to maintain a low-speed growth trend for the past 10 years. In 2020, China's new birth population will be 12 million, which is lower than in 2016 when the second child was just liberalized. 33%.

In response to the low fertility crisis, population economist Liang Jianzhang expressed his concerns and proposed a reward of 1 million for each child. Although this advice is somewhat unrealistic, the starting point is to consider the cost of raising a child. In real life, the cost of childcare is only a lot more!

Raising a child is an "arms race", and the cost of education is prohibitive

In a 2020 survey, what Chinese people spend the most on is " Education and training” goes far beyond housing. It can be said that for many children from kindergarten to college, the financial foundation behind them is the family’s financial foundation. The high cost of education is prohibitive, and many younger generations are afraid or unwilling to have children, lest their children become laggards on the track of "educational involution." To change this situation, not only does the country need to reform education and housing prices from the policy level, but also implement it to individuals. It also needs to change this overly extreme educational philosophy, "reduce the burden" on children and families, and cover up the wave of involution.

Raising a child requires "excellence", and the cost of raising a child is exhausting

Why is it more difficult for parents born in the 80s and 90s to raise children than the previous generation? Already? This is because in the past, it was mostly "rough cultivation", but now we pay attention to "careful cultivation". What we are talking about here is not only the material investment, but also the time and energy required have doubled. In this regard, in addition to favoring families with multiple children in terms of policies and welfare to reduce their childcare burden, another important point is to pay attention to early childhood development and lay a solid foundation for the healthy growth of children, so that the parenting process can also be Save more worry and effort.

The "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline clearly states that it is necessary to improve maternal and child health, implement healthy children plans, and strengthen early childhood development. The "National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030)" also incorporates the "Nutritional and Health Action in the Early 1,000 Days of Life" into the action plan, emphasizing the need to improve the nutritional and health levels of pregnant women, infants and young children. In this regard, the "Infant and Young Children's Growth, Development, Nutrition and Health Guidelines" guided and issued by the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the China Children's and Teenagers' Foundation Youth Charity Institute believe that in addition to paying attention to reasonable diet and balanced nutrition, we must also be vigilant about vitamins. A. "Hidden hunger" caused by lack of vitamin D, iron, zinc, calcium and other nutrients.

For example, vitamins A and D, which infants and young children are most likely to lack, are related to the baby’s height, bones, vision, intelligence, immunity and hematopoietic function. Due to insufficient reserves during the fetal period, There has already been a certain nutritional gap. Coupled with the limited sources of vitamin AD, whether it is breast milk, milk powder or complementary food feeding, it is difficult to meet the nutritional needs of the baby. Infectious diseases also reduce the absorption of vitamin AD and increase the consumption of vitamin A. If additional supplements are not provided in time, It is easy to fall into the dilemma of "supply exceeds demand". The above multiple factors have led to nearly half of our country's children facing vitamin AD deficiency. From a comprehensive consideration of accessibility, economy, and convenience, my country generally recommends that babies be preventively supplemented with vitamin AD preparations (such as Icosin) from birth, and the dosage must comply with the "Chinese Children's Experts on the Clinical Application of Vitamin A and Vitamin D***" The authoritative standards of vitamin A 1500-2000IU/day and vitamin D 400-800IU/day recommended in "Chinese Children's Vitamin A and D Deficiency Status and Supplementation Guidance" are recommended, and supplementation should be adhered to at least until 3 years old.

The Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Youth Philanthropy Institute of the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation released the "Guidelines for Growth, Development, Nutrition and Health of Infants and Young Children" and "Current Status of Vitamin A and D Deficiency in Chinese Children and Supplementary Guidance" during National Nutrition Week 2021. The same advice was given.

Of course, while providing scientific and healthy nutrition for your baby, it is also important to create a good living environment.

All in all, to increase the fertility rate, we should first reduce the burden of childcare on parents, which requires the joint efforts of families and society, thereby promoting the sustainable development of society and the passing of the torch of the nation. Do you think it’s reasonable to be rewarded 1 million yuan for giving birth to a child? 2

On May 11, the seventh national census data was released. Liang Jianzhang, co-founder and executive chairman of Ctrip and population economist, said: The data was interpreted and various suggestions were made on the demographic issues faced by China.

Among them, one was on Weibo’s hot search: Liang Jianzhang suggested giving birth to a child with a reward of 1 million.

So the question is, will netizens give birth to a child?

The topic is to reward 1 million yuan for a child, whether to have a child or not?

A reporter from Henan Business Daily originally thought, Faced with the financial temptation of 1 million, many people will definitely be willing to give birth! Even if they are not willing to give birth, it must be because: they cannot afford to support a child with 1 million, it is too annoying to have a sick baby, and they are anxious about involution.

But I didn’t expect that netizens would comment on the style of painting being so “upright”, and the rebuttal was justified.

@北星星: Then there will be many people who give birth to children to make money, and then play with them. What’s the use of just having children without raising them?

@ Want to Eat Hot Pot Cake and Drink Milk Tea: Good guy , women have been directly reduced to fertility machines!

@京如花花: Given 10 million, I would probably consider having another child.

Then, the reporter from Henan Business Daily saw many netizens who expressed "support" for this suggestion, but there were preconditions:

@元远流长: Serious support! But it’s not cash, it’s education and security!

@logan: You can’t give money directly, but you can give exemptions for education.

@vvvv: It would be much better if minor medical care, kindergarten fees, and high school tuition fees could be reduced or exempted.

Story: Give birth to a baby? No, no, no, I’m scared.

“Having a baby is really not just about money.” Bao Ma Le Ying ( (pseudonym) now has a 3-year-old boy. The couple are both only children. One works in a bank and the other is a civil servant. Both parents are about to retire and will help take care of the child when they have nothing to do.

"It is easy to give birth to a child, but it is difficult to raise a child." Le Ying said that you have to be responsible for the child after he is born. If you just raise him casually, then it doesn't matter if you have more children... Now, instead of seeking quantity, we must seek quality. How does a child grow up physically and mentally healthy? How to train him to become a useful person? These are not just words.

Le Ying told a reporter from Henan Business News that she was very touched after watching "Little Shede" recently. What benefited her the most was how to be a good mother and how to balance her children's study and life. "Look Looking at Ziyou and Huanhuan in the plot, they are the epitome of real life. It’s scary to think about it..."

When the best friend of a reporter from Henan Business News gave birth to a baby, she was in so much pain. She couldn't get out of bed for three days. She said: "When I was in the delivery bed, I thought, this is the only one I will give birth to! I won't give birth to another baby if I have to pay for it!"

No, I saw this yesterday. After talking about the topic, he immediately called her and asked her: "Now think about it carefully. If I gave you one million, would you still have a baby?"

"No! The baby is sick these days. I’m so worried, one of them is enough for me now.” Without any hesitation, I refused.

In addition, for working women, having children means giving up a lot.

"Are you married? When are you going to have children?" Shu Shu (pseudonym), who was born in 1991, was asked this question several times when he was applying for a job, and was also kindly rejected because he had not yet given birth to children.

"I will definitely have children in the future, but I will only have one at most." Shu Shu said that he probably won't resign in the next few years, and he doesn't dare to resign. Maybe it will be difficult to find another job after resigning. .

Opinion: We want to promote more social security for childbirth

A reporter from Henan Business Daily previously conducted a survey on childbearing intentions of 107 people. When asked "Whether they would choose to have a second child?", 50.47% of families of childbearing age voted "no." As for the reasons for refusing to have a second child, they were mainly "financially afraid to have a second child" and "not able to take care of it energetically", as well as Some people born in the 1980s and 1970s chose to express concerns about pregnancy at advanced ages.

Therefore, the reward of 1 million for giving birth to a child is not just a literal suggestion, there are many things to consider behind it. If you give birth to your first child, the reward is 1 million, which is very good; if you give the reward to have a second child, should you give birth to a second child? Maybe many people will think deeply about it and even do a good calculation!

Dong Zhongyu, a sociology lecturer at Zhengzhou University, believes that boosting the birth rate cannot be solved by simply liberalizing the fertility policy. If we want to promote people's fertility, "we can only start from the aspect of social security, provide more social security related to fertility, and relieve people's worries about fertility."
