High demand spurs high income. With an increasing awareness of the importance of taking care of mothers and newborns, maternity matrons see a growth in demand and income.

Reportedly, the average salary of a maternity matron is 9,405 yuan per month in Shanghai, much higher than that of a graduate from the class of 2014.
