Parents in China are being offered 3,600 yuan (£375; $500) a year for each of their children under the age of three in the government’s first nationwide subsidy aimed at boosting birth rates.
The country’s birth rate has been falling, even after the ruling Communist Party abolished its controversial one-child policy almost a decade ago.
Yes, it’s about two- to three times as high. I realized I messed up in my original comment, tho:
255€ a month, vs 500ish$ a year. That’s several times more (and still not enough), and it lasts until the child is grown up, not just three years. This will not have an impact on China’s population crisis
