Analysis on the employment prospect of prolactinists;
The development prospect of lactation is still very good.
Statistics show that there are nearly 20 million new mothers and newborns in China every year, and more than 80% of these women suffer from symptoms such as lack of milk and lack of milk. The breastfeeding market has great potential. According to incomplete prediction, there are more than 6.5438+0.2 million prolactinists in China, but there are less than 5 existing practitioners (without formal national training) in a medium-sized city.
The number of professional prolactinists in more than 95% county-level areas is basically zero, the national prolactinist market is blank, professional prolactinists are extremely scarce, the market demand is huge, and the industry has unlimited development potential.
Because breastfeeding is more conducive to the healthy growth of babies, especially melamine and precocious puberty, the profession of prolactin is extremely hot and in a rare state of oversupply.
At the same time, there has been a lack of authoritative and standardized job training system and certification standards in the industry. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly100000 people engaged in breast-feeding service in China, and most of them have not received formal and systematic professional training, so it is difficult to achieve the due service quality in specific work such as breast-feeding consultation and breast-feeding service.
Therefore, China urgently needs a large number of prolactinists to solve the breastfeeding problem of our new mother. Experts pointed out that China needs at least10.2 million professional prolactinists, and there is still a gap of 1. 1 10,000, so prolactinists will be a promising career in the future.
