crissindahouse said: yeah there a lot of possibilities (no clue about other european countries). monthly money for every child to the date the child will start to make money with own work (that means like 20 years per child some hundred euros every month), some freetime from your job when you get your child (i believe 3 years), money you get the weeks before birth and something called "elterngeld" which u get the first 12 months or so up to 1800 euro per month (depends on your income) maybe i forgot something or i have some numbers wrong but it's not like you wouldn't get financial help. but this doesn't seem to be the biggest problem, people with most money get the least kids and they could get some even without financial help. who has the most kids in germany? yeah the poor people. |
The financial support for children is not bad here in Germany. But I think the bigger problem is the not so good offerings for child care. I think at this point it would be more important than more money, to increase the birth-rate. And politicians have seen this already as a problem.
