IN the Shenzhen Daily dated Aug. 13, we can read that the city’s social security bureau helped Shenzhen-based enterprises save more than 4.7 billion yuan (US$683 million) over the first six months of 2018. From a friend who runs a small business in Shenzhen I however hear that in Shenzhen when a staff member goes for maternity leave she gets seven-month leave and all is 100 percent paid by the company. This is one of the longest, if not THE longest maternity leave in China. Besides putting additional burden on other staff members it also puts financial pressure on small companies as they have all these costs. In many other countries, such costs are for the biggest part paid by the State. In Shenzhen companies therefore face a double burden: 1) longest maternity leave in China; 2) all costs for the company. With the one-child policy now gone, this burden will most likely become only bigger.
