Armenian government triples one-off allowance for second child
The Armenian government approved today a draft law proposing to triple the one-off allowance for the birth of a second child.
According to the new measure, the payment is expected to increase to 150,000 drams starting from 1 October, instead of the former 50,000 drams, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Mane Tandilyan said at the Cabinet meeting.
The minister highlighted the bill as a ‘strategically important measure’, noting the birth of a second child is important for Armenia and is encouraged.
