长沙社区托育机构覆盖率超七成

China will increase its supply and quality of child care services through multiple channels, and establish a comprehensive interagency regulatory mechanism for the sector, according to the National Health Commission (NHC).

国家卫生健康委近日提出，将多渠道增加托育服务供给，提高托育服务质量，并通过建立健全跨部门加强综合监管，加强托育人才队伍建设。

Kindergartens in China generally enroll children from 3 to 6 years of age, and child care services are designed to take in those under the age of 3. China has nearly 30 million children below the age of 3.

国内幼儿园目前以招收3至6岁儿童为主，托儿所则专门接收3岁以下的儿童。调查显示，我国现有近3000万名3岁以下婴幼儿。

A survey has found that over 30 percent of families with children under the age of 3 require child care services, NHC official Yang Wenzhuang said on Saturday at a ceremony in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province, to kick off a monthlong national child care services publicity campaign. Yang said that adequate child care services will help improve the national fertility rate, ensure employment among women, and benefit infant and toddler development.

6月15日在长沙举行的2024年全国托育服务宣传月启动仪式上，国家卫生健康委人口监测与家庭发展司司长杨文庄介绍，我国有超过三成的婴幼儿家庭有入托需求。他指出，释放托育需求，对于提升生育水平、保障女性就业、促进婴幼儿发展具有积极作用。

In recent years, China has issued a series of guidelines on developing child care services as a way to cope with an aging social structure, and various regions are exploring measures to improve the quality of such services.

近年来，中国出台了一系列发展托幼服务的指导意见，以应对社会结构老龄化问题，各地也在探索提高托幼服务质量的措施。

Changsha, for example, currently has a total of 706 child care services institutions, with 3.93 child care places for every 1,000 people, and a community child care institution coverage of 78.42 percent.

比如，长沙目前共有托育服务机构706家，每千人口托位数3.93个，社区托育机构覆盖率达78.42%。

During this year's publicity campaign, the NHC will organize a series of promotional activities nationwide to increase awareness of child care services and encourage localities to establish such services based on local conditions.

据悉，今年全国托育服务宣传月期间，国家卫生健康委还将在全国范围内组织开展系列宣传活动，进一步扩大托育服务知晓度，鼓励各地因地制宜办托育。
