BEIJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) — By continuously improving policies supporting family development, China has strengthened the development capacity of families and created favorable conditions for women to lead more fulfilling family lives, according to a white paper titled "China's Achievements in All-Round Development of Women's Affairs in the New Era" released by the State Council Information Office on Friday.
Laws and regulations, including the Civil Code, the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests, and the Law on Combating Domestic Violence, were adopted in the country to protect women's rights in marriage and family, the document states.
In addition, marriage counseling services are widely available in China, provided by marriage registration authorities at the county level and above.
The maternity leave system has been improved, with many regions legislating for extended maternity and paternity leave, and introducing parental leave for parents.
Childcare facilities are being created. According to the White Paper, by the end of 2024, 403,000 enterprises and government agencies with trade unions will have provided childcare rooms for working women. Similar facilities also exist in public spaces.
The country is introducing more diverse services to reduce the burden of caregiving on families. Thus, the domestic service sector continues to improve qualitatively and expand in scale. As of the end of 2023, there were approximately 600,000 domestic service organizations and 16,000 women-led community domestic service centers in China. -0-
