Last year, unmarried women in Shenzhen sued the local health and health commission for maternity insurance. This year, unmarried women over the age of 30 are allowed to have a child and enjoy maternity leave and maternity insurance for legal childbirth.
The attitude of netizens towards this proposal is also quite polarized, accounting for 50% in favor and 50% in opposition.
For unmarried women, let's see what kind of protection is needed.
First, the economy.
The most famous unmarried woman in China is Ye Haiyang, who gave birth to two lovely daughters. Many women admire Ye Haiyang's courage, and of course admire her ability even more. Ye Haiyang has the confidence to face childbirth, bring up a big baby and raise it alone. Economic strength is the biggest backing. With money, she can take care of the children by herself.
In fact, the biggest problem that most single women face when giving birth is also the economic problem. No one dares to have children without money, and how to raise them if they do. If there is enough money, it is not a big problem for single women to have children.
Secondly, all kinds of social welfare.
As mentioned above, maternity insurance, maternity leave and medical care are all problems. At present, China's maternity insurance does not support unmarried childbirth because it violates the family planning policy. As for maternity leave and so on, let alone think about it, because giving birth out of wedlock is against relevant policies, and of course you can't enjoy it.
Most women have no income for a long time after pregnancy and childbirth. If these benefits are not in place, they have to raise children and raise themselves. How do they live?
Finally, social identity.
Unmarried childbearing is still a sensitive topic in China society, and many women will be criticized for it. People in China like to say that spitting stars drowns people. No one has such a good concentration that he can ignore the malice of others. What single women fear most is the discriminatory eyes of others, which is enough to make a person nervous breakdown. They have nothing to say, but they are more afraid of being discriminated against after their children are born, and society is unfriendly to children without fathers. Those words are enough to destroy all the self-esteem of a simple child.
As a matter of fact, I don't think this proposal of CPPCC member has any practical significance. Single women with money and ability don't care about having children, while single women without money and ability don't dare to have children at all. Couples with happy families dare not have a second child without money, while single women have the courage to have children without money. All problems come down to money. With more money, everything can be solved.
