丹麦幼儿园新政鼓励家长“造人”
<p>丹麦中部城市一些幼儿园近期推出了一项难以拒绝的优惠服务，他们将在周四晚上免费提供两小时儿童看护服务，目的是为了让这些孩子的父母有时间多“造人”。当地幼儿园一位工作人员表示，儿童数量减少意味着幼儿园的前景堪忧，他们推出这项服务也是为了引起人们对低出生率加以关注。如果此举成效明显，幼儿园将考虑将其常态化。丹麦的人口出生率在全世界221个国家中位于第185位。随着老龄人口不断增加，丹麦将无力承担老年人的养老金支出和其他福利性补贴。受低出生率的影响，各地幼儿园从政府得到的资金支持也将被削减，从而导致该行业从业人员工作不保。</p><p><span word="A">A</span> <span word="group">group</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="nursery">nursery</span> <span word="workers">workers</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="central">central</span> <span word="Denmark">Denmark</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="parents">parents</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="offer">offer</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="might">might</span> <span word="find">find</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="refuse">refuse</span>.</p><p><span word="They">They</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="promised">promised</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="provide">provide</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="hours">hours</span>' <span word="free">free</span> <span word="childcare">childcare</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="Thursday">Thursday</span> <span word="evening">evening</span>, <span word="so">so</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="parents">parents</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="bed">bed</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="babies">babies</span>.</p><p><span word="Dorte">Dorte</span> <span word="Nyman">Nyman</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Grasshoppers">Grasshoppers</span> <span word="kindergarten">kindergarten</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="North">North</span> <span word="Fyn">Fyn</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lack">lack</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="young">young</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="meant">meant</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="future">future</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="local">local</span> <span word="nurseries">nurseries</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="uncertain">uncertain</span>.</p><p><span word="She">She</span> <span word="expected">expected</span> <span word="nearly">nearly</span> <span word="half">half</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="nursery">nursery</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="families">families</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="accept">accept</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="offer">offer</span>.</p><p>"<span word="We">We</span> <span word="have">have</span> 42 <span word="children">children</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="kindergarten">kindergarten</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="we">we</span>'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="looking">looking</span> <span word="after">after</span> 20 <span word="tonight">tonight</span>," <span word="she">she</span> <span word="told">told</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="BBC">BBC</span>.</p><p><span word="Not">Not</span> <span word="all">all</span>, <span word="though">though</span>, <span word="are">are</span> <span word="likely">likely</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="free">free</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="intended">intended</span> <span word="purpose">purpose</span>.</p><p>"<span word="Lots">Lots</span> <span word="say">say</span>: '<span word="We">We</span>'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="bring">bring</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="party">party</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="won">won</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="getting">getting</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="us">us</span>!'" <span word="she">she</span> <span word="said">said</span>.</p>
