The Government of Euskadi announces the extension of the aid of 200 euros per month per child up to four years of age. This means that it increases by one year since the limit until the month of March, which was when this measure was approved, was 3 years. For this, 112 million euros will be invested over the next few years with the aim of improving the quality of life of families and helping the domestic economy for the support of minors.
Families will be able to collect up to 2,400 euros (amount obtained by multiplying the 200 euros of aid per month by the 12 months of the year). The program, promoted by the Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge area, aims to alleviate the economic difficulties that arise from upbringing by promoting the rejuvenation of the Basque population.
