Taipei City "Helping You Get Pregnant": An article to see how much subsidy new parents can receive!
There's no "you" or "yours" in caregiving. We'll raise our kids together.
We can see more and more fathers playing the role of childcare in public places, for example, we can see fathers carrying their children on their backs in shopping malls, we can see fathers holding their children on their way to work, and we can see fathers walking with their children in the parks. These public places are increasingly seeing fathers playing the role of childcare, and it can be reasonably deduced that fathers are taking on more childcare responsibilities in the families that we cannot see. This is an advancement in society, and represents a consensus among young parents that the division of household chores within the family is more in line with gender equality.
Ten years ago, Helping You Get Pregnant was named "You" in the female character, because early subsidy programs, such as Down's syndrome screening for pregnant women and birth incentive payments, were mainly designed to sympathize with mothers' hard work in giving birth to children; today, 10 years later, we have changed "You" to "You" in the hope that we will all realize that having a child is not only a woman's business, but also requires the joint efforts of both mothers and fathers. At the same time, the city government has invested resources in building public support for childcare and child education in the hope of publicizing child rearing and care work, establishing a friendly childcare support environment, reducing the burden of newborn families in raising children, and allowing women to reduce the opportunity costs they may face in raising children. If sexual equality policies become part of reproductive governance, and the concept of equal rights to household chores is implemented in family life, it is believed that young people's stereotypical ideas about marriage and parenthood can be reversed, so that marriage and childbearing will become a natural and beautiful thing.

On August 1, 107, a new centralized childcare system was put into effect, the main contents of which include: 1. quasi-publicized services (private childcare/babysitters who sign a contract with the government to ensure the quality of the service are provided with a subsidy to the parents); 2. expansion of the childcare subsidy (expanding the recipients and eliminating the restriction on the conditions that the parents are unemployed); ※ those who had already been receiving the subsidy do not need to re-apply due to the conversion of the new system into the old one.
In response to the new centralized childcare system, the Taipei City Government's subsidy will not shrink and the burden on parents will not increase due to the high cost of living and childcare for Taipei residents.
