National Medical Insurance Bureau: Maternity allowance is an important part of maternity insurance benefits

The press conference of the National Health and Health Commission on the morning of August 17 introduced the "Guiding Opinions on Further Importing and Implementing Active Paternal Support Measures". Liu Juan, deputy director of the National Medical Insurance Bureau Treatment Security Division: Maternity allowance is an important part of maternity insurance benefits. The "Guidance Opinions" implements the requirements of the central government, put forward the national unified norms and formulate the policy of improving maternity insurance for maternity allowances. There are three main considerations:

The first is to adhere to basic guarantees. The field of social security should "adhere to the unity and standardization of the system" and "do their best to do their best, but also do their best." The improvement of the guarantee of maternity insurance must not only take into account the fund support capabilities, but also reflect the direction of actively supporting fertility.

The second is the gap between the treatment between the balanced areas. In recent years, with the adjustment and optimization of population policies, local fertility awards leave has been set up in addition to statutory maternity leave. On the whole, the holidays have different periods of holidays and different differences. The level of unevenness can easily lead to comparison.

The third is to promote women's fair employment. Practice has proved that too long holidays may bring fertility concerns of professional women, increase employment discrimination of women, affect fair employment of men and women, and then affect women's fertility willingness. It is advisable to consider the burden of all parties and the impact on employment. Responsibility, jointly build a positive fertility support system.
