How does the old-age birth subsidy improve the fertility rate?
In recent years, with the change of people's conception of fertility and the development of social economy, the elderly fertility rate has gradually increased. However, the risks and maladjustment faced by the elderly mothers are gradually emerging. In this case, the implementation of the elderly birth subsidy policy has become a possible solution. This article will discuss how to improve the fertility rate from four aspects.
Improve the awareness of eugenics
The purpose of the subsidy policy for elderly childbearing is to encourage more couples to choose elderly childbearing, so we must first raise the public's awareness of eugenics. First, we can communicate the risks and adaptation measures of elderly childbearing to the public through publicity and education activities, such as health lectures, expert interviews, etc. Secondly, the government can cooperate with medical institutions to carry out MCH knowledge popularization activities, provide relevant information and guidance, and help couples make wise decisions.
On the basis of improving the awareness of eugenics, family and social support can also be further promoted. The government can help couples easily cope with the pressure of elderly childbearing by providing economic assistance, flexible work arrangements and other measures. In addition, family members and all sectors of society are encouraged to provide emotional support to enhance the confidence and motivation of couples for elderly childbearing.
Strengthen professional medical services
Older women face higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth, so providing professional medical services is the key to ensure their safety. The government should increase investment in relevant medical institutions and improve their medical technology and equipment. Medical institutions at all levels are encouraged to set up special teams for elderly mothers, including obstetricians and gynaecologists, nutritionists, psychological consultants, etc., to provide all-round and personalized medical services for elderly mothers.
In addition, the government can also formulate relevant training and policies to attract more medical staff to engage in the medical work of elderly mothers. For doctors and nurses who provide medical services to elderly mothers, appropriate training and incentives should be provided to encourage them to better perform their duties.
Establish a fertility risk guarantee mechanism
Because there are certain risks in the elderly childbearing, the government can establish a fertility risk guarantee mechanism to alleviate the worries of couples. On the one hand, we can explore the establishment of special insurance for elderly mothers to cover medical expenses before, during and after childbirth; On the other hand, maternity risk subsidies can also be provided to make up for the reduction of time costs and income of elderly mothers due to childbirth.
In addition, the government can also encourage commercial insurance institutions to develop insurance products suitable for elderly mothers and provide more comprehensive maternity risk protection. The government can cooperate with commercial insurance institutions to provide relevant premium subsidies or tax incentives to attract more insurance companies to participate.
Summary
To sum up, the elderly birth subsidy can improve the fertility rate by improving the awareness of eugenics, strengthening professional medical services, and establishing a fertility risk guarantee mechanism. However, the implementation of the elderly maternity subsidy policy still needs the joint efforts of the whole society, including the support and cooperation of the government, medical institutions, families and all sectors of society, to ensure the health and happiness of elderly mothers.
