[The National Health Commission responded to the inclusion of one child in childcare subsidies: One child is the foundation of family fertility] The State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the childcare subsidy system and fertility support measures. Wang Haidong, director of the Population and Family Department of the National Health Commission, said at the meeting that the national childcare subsidy system includes one child in the scope of childcare subsidies. There are two main considerations: First, one-child families are the main body of childcare families. Among the population born in my country each year, more than half are one-child families. Therefore, including one child in the subsidy scope will achieve wide coverage of the childcare subsidy system and can fully benefit families with children; second, childbirth is a major event for a family. Having one child is the starting point and foundation of family fertility, and it is also a critical stage that needs special support. Therefore, issuing childcare subsidies to one child can improve the family's childbearing experience, reduce the family's parenting pressure, and is also conducive to the family's consideration of having more children.
