School for maternity matrons banking on baby boom
Women train with toy babies at a maternity matron school in Beijing in October, 2016. The school provides training program incluing childcare, early education, housekeeping, and other domestic skills. Trainees can get their vocational qualification certificates and become postnatal attendents after an eight-day course which costs 1,700 yuan ($246.6). As Chinese couples are now allowed to have two children, the demand for the service usually exceeds supply.[Photo/VCG] |
