Maternity allowance: the living expenses given to professional women during their absence due to childbirth as stipulated by national laws and regulations. Some countries also call it maternity cash subsidy. There are two payment methods and payment standards of maternity allowance in China: first, in areas where maternity insurance is implemented as a whole, the payment standard is paid according to the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year, and the period is not less than 90 days; Second, in areas where maternity insurance does not implement social co-ordination, maternity allowance is paid by enterprises or units. The standard is the basic salary and price subsidy for female employees before childbirth, and the term is generally 90 days. In some areas, professional women who marry late and have children late are encouraged to extend the period of maternity allowance appropriately.
