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.

    So they get compensated about quarter of their yearly expenses with this btw bill. If they had an equivalent of this in us I’d get about 6k yearly from gvmt for each child. Not too shabby in my book.
