As long as a labor contract is signed with the employer to form a labor relationship, employees will participate in the maternity insurance including maternity allowance, which will be borne by the company. However, male participation in the insurance is to share the maternity allowance of all female employees, reduce social pressure, and is also a guarantee for the company not to dismiss female employees. Both parties will receive more social burden.
 Moreover, according to the social security law, maternity allowance is enjoyed by professional women. A husband who has no job, is employed and whose maternity insurance payment meets the standard can provide his wife's unemployment certificate to reimburse his wife for maternity expenses, but this does not include maternity allowance.
