HONG KONG - China's Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, announced a slew of childcare subsidies this month and promised to "care" for new mothers by giving them a daily cup of free milk, as local provinces strive to boost the country's flagging population.
More than 20 provincial level administrations across China have started offering childcare subsidies, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday. Such subsidies have emerged as a key focus for policymakers as they try to encourage young couples to get married and have children.
