It Is Better To Implement Paid Vacation If Adding "Filial Piety".

Employers are encouraged to give their employees a holiday to accompany their elders for their birthday. Every year, they give only a child's care leave of not more than 20 days per year to care for their sick parents.

Since the beginning of this year, many places including Henan, Anhui and Beijing have set or planned to set up special holidays so that children can be filial piety at their parents' side.

China is accelerating its entry into an aging society.

Data show that as of the end of 2014, China's population over 60 years old accounted for 212 million, accounting for 15.5% of the total population, of which 137 million of the elderly population aged 65 or above.

The empty nest elderly, whose children are not around, account for half of the total number of elderly people.

Although it includes pension services,

The silver hair economy is developing vigorously, including leisure travel, insurance and finance. But family care and spiritual comfort from children is not a substitute for any material life.

Under the traditional culture atmosphere of "filial piety and filial piety first", under the background of encouraging the nation to "go home to see for a long time" and put it under the legal obligation, it is similar.

The concept is coming up at the right moment.

However, if there is no corresponding supporting measures and clear standards, the good intention of "filial piety and old leave" may be reduced to "paper welfare".

As we all know, we have implemented the system of visiting relatives and vacations for more than thirty years. At present, apart from being in the organs or large state-owned enterprises, many enterprises have already been put to death, and many workers do not even know this system.

Besides, "paid vacation" is something that only happened in recent years. According to the survey data of the Ministry of human resources and social affairs in 2015, the implementation rate of paid vacation is only about 50%.

Party and government organs, public institutions, large state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises are relatively well implemented, while most private enterprises and small and medium enterprises' workers have not only paid vacation but become "mirror flowers and water moon".

Even weekends are not always guaranteed. In this way, is it not a luxury to talk about "filial piety and old holidays"?

In a word, if the paid leave of workers is fully implemented, it will have a solid and solid foundation to go home often, to care for the elderly, or to travel with old people.
