Does the state provide subsidies for the first child?

Yes. The amount of national subsidy for pregnant women giving birth to their first child is 200 yuan in some places and 500 yuan in other places. It will be determined according to the consumption level of each place. Because the consumption level of each place is different, the relevant regulations are also different. . If a pregnant woman has a rural household registration and is unemployed, as long as she participates in the new rural cooperative medical insurance of that year, she can enjoy relevant subsidies in accordance with the law, that is, some subsidies for rural pregnant women or parturient women. If a woman’s spouse has paid maternity insurance in accordance with the law, then the woman can still be reimbursed for this part of her medical expenses after giving birth.

According to the relevant regulations of our country, as long as the country’s fertility requirements are met, there will be maternity allowance for both the first and second children. The so-called requirement is: you must pay maternity insurance in full for one consecutive year, so that you can apply for maternity benefits. Generally speaking, maternity insurance covers two parts: maternity medical expenses and maternity allowances. The details are as follows: Maternity medical expenses: This part generally refers to the expenses for delivery, caesarean section, prenatal check-up, and hospitalization. Because each region is different, they are reimbursed The standards are different, but what young women need to pay attention to is that there is an upper limit for childbirth medical expenses, which is roughly around 5,000 yuan, and the excess must be borne by themselves. The amount of maternity allowance received = the average salary base paid by the unit in the month of childbirth ÷ 30 × the number of maternity leave days.

As long as a labor contract is signed with the employer to form a labor relationship, the employee will participate in maternity insurance including maternity allowance. This part of the premium will be borne by the company. However, men's participation in the insurance is for the purpose of maternity subsidy for all female employees. Sharing the burden to reduce social pressure is also a guarantee for the company not to fire female employees. If both parties share the burden, it will increase the burden on society. Moreover, according to the provisions of the Social Security Law, maternity benefits are enjoyed by working women. If a husband who is unemployed but has a job and whose maternity insurance contributions meet the standard can provide his wife's unemployment certificate, he can reimburse his wife for maternity expenses, but this does not include maternity benefits.
