In order to guide and encourage graduates majoring in elderly care services from colleges and vocational schools to engage in elderly care services, promote the construction of elderly care service personnel teams, and improve the quality of elderly care services, the Department of Civil Affairs of Zhejiang Province and the Department of Finance of Zhejiang Province recently issued the Guidelines for Providing Allowances for Professionals First Entering the Elderly Care Services  (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines). The amount of allowances is based on the academic qualifications of the recruits: 30,000 yuan for graduates from secondary vocational schools; 40,000 yuan for graduates from junior colleges (higher vocational schools); 50,000 yuan for those holding an undergraduate or higher diploma.


According to reports, the policy of providing allowances for graduates majoring in elderly care service and management was first implemented in 2013. Compared with the original policy, the Guidelines not only improves the amounts of allowances, but also shortens the period of collecting allowances and expands the scope of those collecting allowances. The period has been changed from the original 5 years to 2 years after entering the elderly care service industry. The scope of those collecting allowances has been expanded from the nursing workers for the elderly in non-profit elderly care service institutions to those who are engaged in health care, rehabilitation nursing, nutrition allocation, psychological counseling, technical training, ability assessment and other work in elderly care service institutions.


The Guidelines will be implemented from February 1, 2022. Graduates who joined the elderly care service institutions after December 21, 2020 can enjoy the allowances according to the Guidelines. Staff with personnel establishment in public elderly care service institutions are not entitled to the allowances.
