独生子女照料假：只听楼梯响，不见人下来
By King & Wood
作者：徐晓丹 杨梓 金杜律师事务所商务合规部 身为独生子女是一种怎样的体验？ 知乎上曾有个经典的回答：不敢穷，不敢死，不敢不努力，因为父母只有我。 小时候，独生子女集万千宠爱于一身，长大后，却是集压力与孤独于一身。独生子女计划生育政策实施30多年，据不完全统计，中国现有2.18亿独生子女。作为特定历史背景下产生的独生子女一代，他们正面临着空前的压力与难题。尤其在对父母生病照顾的问题上，分身乏术更是难上加难。 不久前，四川省政府法制办公布了《四川省老年人权益保障条例（修订草案）》（征求意见稿），其中规定“独生子女的父母年满60周岁，患病住院治疗期间，用人单位应当支持其子女进行照料，并给予每年累计不低于3天的照料假，照料期间工资福利待遇不变”。由此，“独生子女照料假”引发广泛热议。实际上，四川省的举动并不是首创。自2015年国家修订《中华人民共和国老年人权益保障法》以来，全国各省市陆续出台了相关政策，进一步保障老年人合法权益，解决老年人养老医疗问题。各地规定简单总结如下： 序号 省份 子女照料假长度（每年） 生效时间 1 河南 累计不超过20天 2016.05.27 2 福建 累计不超过10天 2017.03.01 3 广西 累计不超过15天 2017.09.01 4 海南 累计不超过15天 2017.09.01 5 广东 独生子女所在单位应当对其护理照料父母给予必要照顾…
