A Study on the Low Fertility Issues and Childcare Support Policy for Women in China

This paper aims to examine China's childcare support policy in general and analyze its limitations. To this end, China's childcare support policy, which has changed due to social and economic reform, was examined by period, and the main contents and and changes of China's childcare support policy were analyzed in three aspects (income support, service support, and tax support). China's total fertility rate continues to decline in 2021, despite the implementation of the 'three-child' policy and other measures to support female workers and ease the burden of childcare. China's total fertility rate is emerging as a social problem not only in a low fertility rate but also in that the pace is rapidly progressing. China has focused on the childcare problem of vulnerable families in urban areas while focusing on the gradual easing of the birth control policy, but there was no systematic policy response to universal childcare support policy for general families.
