More than 20 provincial level administrations across China have started offering childcare subsidies, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday. Such subsidies have emerged as a key focus for policymakers as they try to encourage young couples to get married and have children.
The country is facing an unprecedented demographic downturn, a result largely of China’s one-child policy imposed between 1980 and 2015, rapid urbanisation and the high cost of raising a family. Couples have been allowed to have as many as three children since 2021.
An action plan to boost domestic consumption released on Sunday said that authorities should “study and establish a childcare subsidy system”.
A third child would receive an annual subsidy of 10,000 yuan until they turned 10, a total figure roughly twice the annual income of local residents. Hohhot also issued what it called the “One cup of milk fertility care action for mothers” with a cup of milk available for free each day for any mothers who give birth after March 1.
They will also be entitled to an electronic voucher worth 3,000 yuan from two dairy companies Yili and China Mengniu Dairy.
