Abstract:In the context of an overall two-child policy, the willingness of giving birth has not been improved by extending the maternity leave. For working women, only by reducing the childcare cost can they dare to have a baby. For employers, in particular those of non-public sectors, only through reasonably sharing childcare cost by the government and the whole society can they encourage female workers to give birth, benefiting both male and female employees. Eventually, a transformation of population strategy can be made, achieving a win-win situation for workers, employers, and the government, and truly enhancing the sense of well-being and happiness of the people. In addition, protecting women's rights and interests cannot be limited to extending maternity leave. As the status and family responsibility change between men and women, parental leave must be taken into consideration from perspectives of work-life balance and family responsibility. Moreover, as employers are the key to grant maternity leave to their female employees, how to reduce employers’ burden and make them willing to implement policies concerned is particularly significant.
