Answer:

According to Clause 1 in 2024’s Social Insurance Law, in every calendar year (from January 1 to December 31), an employee participating in compulsory social insurance may take leave to care for his/her sick children as follows:

- Up to 20 working days per child, for children aged under three years;

- Up to 15 working days per child, for children aged between full three years and under seven years.

If both you and your husband participate in compulsory social insurance, you both will be entitled to the leave benefit as mentioned above.
