The fertility rate in Korea is 0.98.

The fertility rate in China is 1.5.

165438+1October 29th is Mother's Day in Russia. According to the Russian Tass news agency, in order to improve the birth rate, the Russian government has made great efforts to improve the welfare of mothers and set up Mother's Day in 1998 to improve their social status.

In Russia, working women on maternity leave can get considerable maternity allowance. At present, the allowance for Russian women to give birth to a child is as high as 340,000 rubles (about 29,000 yuan). If they have multiple births, the allowance for each child is close to 450,000 rubles (about RMB39,000). In addition, compared with other countries, Russian women have the longest paid maternity leave, which is 3 years. Not only that, maternity leave in Russia is paid maternity leave, which means I have to pay my employees a basic salary, and I also have to pay pension and medical insurance during maternity leave.

Russian fertility rate is higher than China's, though not much higher.

I feel that there are more children in St. Petersburg than in Beijing. There are many more children in Zhengzhou than in St. Petersburg, and the feeling of children everywhere can only be felt in Zhengzhou's community. I estimate that if the data of Henan Province are deducted, the fertility rate in China will drop significantly.

The reason why Russians don't have children is simple, that is, raising children is too expensive.

Many people in China may ask, didn't they say that the Russian government gave money to people who gave birth to children? I mean, it's not the bank that gives you money after you give birth. There are many regulations on the maternity allowance given by the Russian government. take for example

If you have a baby, you can get a welfare of 466 6 17 rubles. The second child will receive a welfare of150,000 rubles. This money can be used for housing loans, tuition fees (universities and private kindergartens) and equipment for disabled children, but how to use this money can only be decided by the foundation.

In other words, this kind of welfare is not so attractive. But talk is better than nothing.

At present, this kind of reward has little effect on improving the fertility rate, especially for people living in cities.

The low fertility rate is not a unique problem in Russia, but a problem facing the whole world. For example, the rise of women's rights can make women decide whether to have children, the popularization of contraceptive technology has reduced the cost of not having children (condoms were not widely used in the Soviet era), and the slow development of the world economy and the exploitation of capitalism have left people with no extra budget to take care of children. If there is no big change in the world, the fertility rate will continue to decrease until the population reaches a new equilibrium point.
