Many people are interested in the cost of raising a baby, especially some smart immigrants. So what is the cost of raising a baby in different countries? Let's take a look at it with the overseas immigration network! Welcome to reading.

Comparison of the cost of raising a baby in different countries

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted the universal two-child policy, abolished the "one-child" policy, and fully liberalized the right of China citizens to have two children.

Most of the "post-80 s" young people in first-tier cities represented by Beijing and Shanghai said that their children's education and medical expenses are too high to easily consider having two children; Wealthy families in first-tier cities and families in third-and fourth-tier cities and counties have a slightly higher willingness to have two children. As for the reasons for not wanting to have two children, about 70% people think that "going to school, working and getting married is terrible." In fact, this also pokes the pain point in people's minds at present: the cost of raising is high, "there is no money to raise." Problems such as going to school, finding employment and finding a partner have become people's worries about whether to have two children.

Raising a baby in China: at least 500- 1.3 million yuan.

China Financial Weekly made a calculation according to the current market situation. Leaving aside the factors of rising prices and educational expenses in the future, it will cost at least 500,000 to 6,543,800+3,000 yuan to raise a child in China until he graduates from university. If you want to study abroad, you need at least 2 million yuan, which is basically the "minimum standard" in high-consumption cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Take a middle-class family in Guangzhou as an example. It costs 20,000-35,000 yuan to raise a child before giving birth. Children aged 0-3 need to spend 90-270 thousand; Spending in early childhood is 654.38+00-200,000; In the primary school stage, if you go to a public primary school, plus the fees for remedial classes and interest classes, it will cost at least 90,000 yuan. If you go to a private primary school, it will cost about 200 thousand. The middle school stage costs 80,000-450,000; About 1.5 million is needed in the university stage, and 800,000 or more is needed if it is for children to study abroad. Therefore, although the second child is fully open, it is difficult for many families to take action in the face of such a high cost of "raising a baby".

America: Raising children is also expensive.

Then, the economic cost of having a child in China is so high, so how much does it cost to raise a child all over the world? Look at America first.

According to the latest annual report of "Raising a Child" of the US Department of Agriculture, if a child of a middle-income family was born in 20 13 years, the average cost of raising him/her to 18 years is 245,000 US dollars (about 158 yuan RMB), which is almost 304,000 US dollars if the inflation rate is included. This figure is13 higher than 20 1.8 percentage points.

In other words, the annual expenditure of each child ranges from $65,438+02,800 to $65,438+04,970, and the average annual income of a middle-income family is basically between $665,438 +0530 and $65,438+006,540. The annual cost depends on the age of children, the number of children in a family, and the annual income and geographical location of the family.

Canada: 250,000 Canadian dollars.

In Canada, a country with a relatively sound welfare system, the cost of raising a child between ordinary families and wealthy families is very different. For low-income families, it doesn't cost much to raise a child, but if you want to cultivate a child carefully, let him develop in an all-round way, or even aim to be admitted to an Ivy League college in the United States, the cost will be amazing.

According to the research results of the Agriculture Department of Manitoba, Canada, for an ordinary family in Canada, even if a child lives independently after 18 years old and no longer takes money from home, the cost of raising an adult child will be190,000 Canadian dollars (about 950,000 RMB). This does not include the hope that the child will get a good basic education and send him to a private school; And to participate in various extracurricular remedial classes, talent classes, physical education class and other expenses. If various factors are added, raising a child and an adult in Canada will cost about 250,000 Canadian dollars (about1160,000 RMB). If you add the cost of sending your children to college, I'm afraid you can't get it without 300 thousand Canadian dollars (about10.4 thousand RMB).

Britain: 2 1 10,000 pounds to 2 1 year.

According to a recent survey in Britain, the average cost for a couple to raise their children to 2 1 year old is as high as 2 1 10,000 pounds (about 2.23 million yuan), which is nearly doubled compared with the survey in 2003. Due to the soaring global prices, the cost of raising children is 4.5 percentage points higher than last year. According to the survey, more than 78% parents choose to reduce their own expenses in order to bear the growing expenses. The survey also divided the cost of child care into several important stages. Children before 1 spend an average of 949 1, children from 1 to 4 spend an average of 53586, children from 5 to 10 spend an average of 56856, and children from1to 17 spend an average of 50.

According to the survey, British parents spend as much as 67,000 pounds on child care and 55,600 pounds on tuition. 18% parents think that the increase in tuition fees may make them unaffordable; 7% parents want their children to get scholarships as much as possible.

Australia: The average cost is 3.8 million RMB.

According to the report "The Cost of Raising Children in Australia" published by the University of Canberra and Australian financial services company AMP20 14 * *, the average cost of raising children in middle-income families in Australia is 8 12000 Australian dollars (about 3.8 million RMB), and the average cost of raising children in low-income families in Australia is 474,000 Australian dollars (about 2.22 million RMB).

Australia is a high welfare society. As long as ordinary working families take the road and raise more children, the quality of life will not decline. It is understood that Australian mothers enjoy a series of government subsidies, and each delivery can receive compensation of 950 Australian dollars to help add supplies for newborns. Once a baby is born, he can enjoy the government's maximum weekly child support of 342.8 Australian dollars.

Singapore: raising children is the most cost-effective

Singapore is a high welfare country, and the government has many welfare measures for giving birth and raising children. Children can get the "baby bonus" given by the government from birth. The so-called "baby bonus" means that the first two children in each family can bring S $4,000, or about 20,000 yuan of government subsidies, and the third and fourth children can get S $6,000, or about 30,000 yuan. In addition, after the birth of the child, the government will encourage parents to deposit their savings of up to S $6,000 into the child development account, and the government will deposit the same amount of money into the account as a reward according to the amount saved by the parents. Therefore, as long as the first two babies are born, each baby can get a total of 1 million in pocket money. The third and later babies can get a maximum reward of S $65438 +08000.

At school age, children in Singapore can still enjoy compulsory education. Citizen students attending government primary schools are free of tuition fees; The monthly tuition fee for middle schools is S $5; The monthly tuition fee for the junior college is S $6.

France implements high subsidies.

France has the highest birth rate in Europe, which is not unrelated to its high welfare. The reason why there is such a high birth rate is that the state subsidies are in place. From the birth of a child to school, from finding a nanny to attending a nursery, the French have ample holidays and attractive subsidies. Now, France's annual expenditure in this area has accounted for 8.3% of the national GDP. If parents' income is at the lowest level, then children will enjoy various social subsidies for free. If a single mother raises a child, the child enjoys a higher subsidy, sometimes even exceeding the mother's salary for one month.

In France, children's tuition fees are very small. From kindergarten to high school, children's study is free. The biggest expenditure should be college tuition, but the actual expenditure of this expenditure is not large. The tuition fee of French public universities is generally only two or three hundred euros a year, and the tuition fee paid by children who get scholarships is even less, only a few tens of euros. Therefore, if the children at home only attend ordinary public universities, there is no burden on the family. Of course, the tuition fees of commercial schools and private schools are still very high, which can be as high as one or two thousand euros.
