Parents in China are being offered 3,600 yuan (£375; $500) a year for each of their children under the age of three in the government’s first nationwide subsidy aimed at boosting birth rates.
The country’s birth rate has been falling, even after the ruling Communist Party abolished its controversial one-child policy almost a decade ago.
“China attempts to trick the poor and uneducated into reproducing”
I am once again asking countries with low birthrates to increase immigration.
That doesn’t even cover a month of childcare
In US I assume. How much does childcare cost in China?
This article talks about cost “relative to its GDP per capita.” In the proposal they give flat sum of money. So we are comparing Apple to oranges. Not saying you’re wrong, but I still would like to know how much is daycare per month in China. I know in us I pay 2k per month. I doubt it’s the same there.
Women generally see a reduction of 2,106 working hours when looking after children aged 0-4 and face an estimated wage loss of 63,000 yuan ($8,700) in the period, the report said, using an hourly wage gauge of 30 yuan per hour. Having a child will also lead to a 12-17% drop in women’s wages, the report said.Leisure time will be reduced by 12.6 hours for mothers with one child aged 0-6 and 14 hours for two children.T
So they get compensated about quarter of their yearly expenses with this btw bill. If they had an equivalent of this in us I’d get about 6k yearly from gvmt for each child. Not too shabby in my book.
Ooo you could buy maybe MAYBE buy a months worth of baby supplies on that. Cool. Yeah. That’ll fix everything wrong with everything.
Band aids, band aids , who doesn’t love band aids?
Maybe this will stop Chinese tourists from holding their babies over trash cans, so they can shit into them….
Because, really, it really seems that what the Chinese could use is diapers, and the training to use them.

Pardon?
I get your shock and confusion. The first time I thought, I was also shocked and confused.
Why the hostility? Or have I misread your comment?
Removed by mod
I simply asked what you were referring to? Thankfully, someone else posted the reference…
What a weird interaction.

Thanks for doing me a favor, I guess.
