the family already had two daughters, and they gave birth to quadruplets when they tried to have a third child? recently, the experience of a couple in shenzhen sparked heated discussions in the public opinion.

according to jiupai news, on august 23, ms. li successfully gave birth to quadruplets in shenzhen. the family was both happy and stressed.

mr. chen, the father of the quadruplets, said that before the quadruplets were born, the family already had two daughters. after the quadruplets were born, his wife had to give up her job to take care of the children, and the entire financial burden of the family fell on his shoulders.

in an interview, he said that the quadruplets need to be treated in the intensive care unit for a month, and the cost is estimated to be 200,000 yuan.

although 80% of the money can be reimbursed by the social security in the place where the household registration is located later, the 200,000 yuan at the moment is simply not enough. "i am a migrant worker with a very meager income. i really have no other choice. i hope the society can provide help."

the father's words caused an uproar. many people felt that since he already had two daughters, he had the courage to have a third child. he was clearly told from the beginning that it was quadruplets, but he did not reduce the number of fetuses and gave birth to all of them without hesitation. now he can't even afford the hospitalization fees for his wife and children, so he came out to seek help from the society. what was he doing before?

amid the anti-marriage and childbearing sentiment that is popular on social media platforms, this couple stepped on a minefield for some young people.

in the eyes of these people, having six children and not being able to raise them is not in line with the concept of eugenics that people have always adhered to, and is irresponsible to themselves and their children.

after the father asked for help, the local women's federation responded immediately. according to local policies, the family can apply for women and children relief funds of approximately 2,000 yuan per year.

although this amount of money is a drop in the bucket for raising six children, many netizens are even more angry, thinking that they are shifting their responsibilities to the entire society, creating a burden on society, which is very selfish and unacceptable.

first of all, it needs to be reiterated that no matter what the family situation is, having as many children as possible is the freedom and right of a family and every couple.

you can choose not to have children, but you must also respect other people's reproductive rights.

the moral accusation that poor people are not worthy of having more children is also a prejudice.

the state and society's assistance to poor families with many children is also in line with the essence of public policy in modern society and is a right enjoyed by modern citizens.

ensuring that children grow up healthily is not only the obligation of the family, but also the responsibility of the country.

in fact, the current support for childbirth is not too much, but too little. since the relaxation of the birth policy, many welfare policies to promote childbirth have been introduced in various places.

however, many welfare policies, compared with the high cost of raising children, are relatively weak in terms of public support, and in some places, the promised childcare subsidies have not been paid out. people have many complaints about this.

data map. the picture and text are unrelated.

specifically speaking of the family of quadruplets in shenzhen, if one looks at people with tinted glasses and is disgusted with the policy of providing assistance to them just because their third child is quadruplets and their family background is average, that is completely double standard behavior.

for multiple births, apart from some tax incentives, there are no special welfare policies at the national level. judging from past cases, local governments generally provide certain subsidies based on local policies.

if you are indeed facing financial difficulties, you can only apply for relief subsidies from the civil affairs department with relevant certificates within the scope prescribed by the law.

in other words, the benefits that families with multiple births can receive are actually very limited. the best option for them may be to gain fame and influence and receive some financial support from companies and institutions.

for example, the jiang brothers, the "shenzhen quadruplets" who recently got admitted to university, received a lot of donations from kind-hearted people after the media reported the incident. not only did a private kindergarten accept the four children for free, but later the local government gave them the green light when they were unable to attend public elementary schools due to household registration and other issues.

therefore, the view that families with multiple children will take up a lot of social resources may be an exaggeration.

after all, having children or not having children is a person's freedom.

from the perspective of personal economic rationality, parents have limited income. if they have more children, the quality of upbringing will definitely decline and the family will be overwhelmed. it is wise to have fewer and better children.

but from the perspective of social development, it is a good thing that some people are willing to have children at a time when the fertility rate is low.

there is no need to worry that appropriate assistance will lead to many families having irresponsible children. even with a certain amount of assistance, it will still be unimaginable hardship for an ordinary family to raise so many children.

the energy investment alone is enough to discourage most families.
