The number of women participating in China's maternity insurance scheme climbed to 249 million by the end of 2023, an increase of over 3 million from the previous year, according to the National Healthcare Security Administration.
China's maternity insurance ensures that women in employment receive a basic income when they take leave from work for pregnancy and childbirth, and reimburses medical expenses related to childbirth.
Women not in employment are able to have their childbirth-related medical expenses reimbursed by participating in the country's basic medical insurance scheme.
