How to stipulate the length of maternity leave for the second child of the elderly in Fujian?
Fujian Province is one of the provinces with a high degree of population aging in China. With the policy liberalization, more and more couples choose to have a second child again. However, how to reasonably regulate the length of maternity leave has become a key issue for the elderly couples who have given birth. The Fujian Provincial Government has made clear provisions on the length of maternity leave for the elderly to give birth to two children. The following are detailed from four aspects.
1. Maternity leave extension policy
In order to protect the rights and interests of elderly couples when giving birth to a second child, the Fujian Provincial Government issued a policy to extend the length of maternity leave. According to the regulations, elderly women who have a second child can enjoy additional maternity leave when they meet the relevant conditions. Generally, when women go through the maternity leave procedures before going to work, they need to provide medical records of pregnant women or pregnancy examination reports issued by the hospital to prove their pregnancy. For the elderly women who give birth to a second child, they can provide the elderly maternity certificate issued by the hospital according to the specific situation to extend the duration of maternity leave.
The length of extended maternity leave is usually determined according to the specific situation of pregnant women. Generally, the length of maternity leave for women who have two children by elderly couples can be extended to about one year. In this way, the elderly mothers have more time to take care of the newborn, and can also better recover and prepare for the future work and life.
2. Relevant security policies
In addition to extending the duration of maternity leave, the Fujian Provincial Government has also formulated a series of relevant security policies to ensure that elderly couples who have two children can receive due protection of their rights and interests. First of all, the hospital will provide more comprehensive prenatal examination and nursing services for elderly mothers, and timely identify and deal with possible risks and problems.
Secondly, the Fujian Provincial Government also stipulated that enterprises and public institutions should reserve the right of female workers to continue working after giving birth to a second child at an advanced age. In this way, the elderly women can continue to work after the maternity leave and maintain economic stability. At the same time, enterprises and institutions should also provide rest and feeding measures for elderly mothers during lactation, so as to ensure that they can fully care for and feed newborns.
3. Family support policy
In order to support elderly couples who have two children, the Fujian Provincial Government has also formulated a series of family support policies. First of all, elderly couples with two children can enjoy preferential policies of postal express, telecommunications and other related services to reduce the pressure of family life. Secondly, the Fujian Provincial Government also encourages relevant units to give certain financial subsidies to elderly couples to help them overcome difficulties in life.
In addition, the Fujian Provincial Government also encourages community residents such as family members, relatives and friends to provide necessary help and care for elderly mothers. The community health service center will also increase its efforts to provide one-on-one postpartum care guidance to help elderly mothers better care for and raise newborns.
4. Effect evaluation and adjustment
The Fujian Provincial Government has made clear the provisions on the length of maternity leave for the elderly to give birth to two children, but has also realized that the policy may need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Therefore, the Fujian Provincial Government will carry out an evaluation of the effect of the maternity leave extension policy to understand the actual operation and the impact of the maternity leave extension on elderly mothers, newborns, enterprises and institutions.
According to the evaluation results, the Fujian Provincial Government will adjust and improve the provisions on the length of maternity leave as needed to better protect the rights and interests of elderly couples with two children, and provide reference for other regions in formulating similar policies.
Summary
Fujian Province has clearly stipulated the length of maternity leave for the elderly to give birth to two children, and formulated relevant safeguard measures and family support policies. These policies are aimed at protecting the rights and interests of elderly mothers and newborns, and reducing the family's economic and living pressure. At the same time, the Fujian Provincial Government also realized that the policy needs to be evaluated and adjusted according to the actual situation to better adapt to the needs of the elderly to have a second child.
It is believed that with the policy support of Fujian Province, more and more elderly couples will be able to have a second child with ease and enjoy the corresponding protection and support of their rights and interests.
