Increase of child care allowance, raise 0-6 years old children with p[arents together

        In recent years, the government has actively promoted such policies as "continuing to expand the affordable education and social security", "doubling the child care allowance" and "further reducing the cost of schooling" to reduce the burden of family parenting, so as to raise the fertility rate and solve the problem of fewer children. On February 4, 2021, the Executive Yuan announced to increase the amount of child care allowance and child care allowance, and to implement the policy of "0-6 years old supported by the state together", so as to make parents feel real!

        1、 The child care allowance is increased, and the subsidy for two and three children is more

        The government plans to increase the child care allowance in two stages. Starting from August 2021, it will pay 3500 yuan per month; 500 yuan for the second child will be increased to 4000 yuan; and 1000 yuan for the third child and the follow-up. In August 2022, it will be raised to 5000 yuan per month, hoping to reduce the burden of parenting.

        In addition to increasing the amount of subsidies, the number of recipients will also be expanded this time. From August 2021, families who have received child care allowance or other vulnerable subsidies can also apply for child care allowance; for children aged 5-6 (under) who are studying in general private kindergartens, the amount of school allowance is also compared with that of child care allowance.

        2、 The cost of schooling at the age of 0-6 decreased again

        For the children studying in public and quasi public nurseries, the cost is also reduced in two stages, so as to reduce the burden

        1. 0-2 years old (under): from August 2021, for children under 2 years old who are sent to public child care centers, community homes, or quasi public child care centers and babysitters, the monthly child care subsidy will be increased by 1000 yuan, up to 7000 yuan; in August 2022, another 1500 yuan will be added, and the subsidy for children with 2, 3, low-income and low-income families will also be increased.

        2. 2-6 years old (under): from August 2021, parents of 2-6 years old children studying in public and quasi public kindergartens will reduce their monthly payment by another 1000 yuan. By August 2022, another 500 yuan will be reduced, and the monthly payment will not exceed 3000 yuan at most. The monthly payment of both parents and children will only be 1000 yuan, and children from low-income families and middle and low-income families will study free of charge. After the payment of two or three children is reduced, they can also study free of charge.
