Core Viewpoint - Dongguan's health authority has decided to temporarily suspend the research and implementation of a universal phase-based childbirth subsidy policy due to financial constraints and uncertainties in fiscal revenue for 2025 [2][3]. Group 1: Financial Constraints - The Dongguan Health Bureau, in consultation with the Finance Bureau, indicated that the economic recovery is not yet stable, and there is significant uncertainty regarding fiscal revenue for 2025, making it difficult to increase the budget [2]. - Rising fixed expenditures, such as social welfare and operational costs, along with new funding demands from strategic initiatives, are exacerbating the pressure on fiscal balance for 2025 [2]. Group 2: Community Initiatives - Despite the city-level policy being on hold, some towns in Dongguan have initiated their own childbirth subsidy measures, creating a diverse support system [4][5]. - Starting January 2025, Liubao Town will provide a monthly childcare subsidy of 1,000 yuan per child for families with one child, funded by the village collective and group [4]. - Other towns, such as Hengli and Wanjiang, have also announced various one-time rewards for families based on the number of children, with amounts ranging from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan depending on the number of children and specific conditions [4][5]. Group 3: Community Childcare Services - The Dongguan Health Bureau is actively promoting the construction of community childcare points to provide convenient services for residents [3]. - As of July 10, 2024, a guideline for the construction and management of community childcare points has been issued, supporting embedded childcare service points in villages and communities [2].
