RECLAMA
Maintenance of the kid in Poland. That's the cost that parents gotta bear.
As already stated, the cost of raising a kid in Poland to scope adulthood is presently PLN 358,000, which translates into PLN 1659 per month. The second kid is cheaper due to the fact that the cost of raising it is 83 percent of the cost of the first and the 3rd kid is only 70 percent. This is simply a consequence of the alleged economies of scale, which allows for any savings in multi-children families.
What's the money for? Most of this amount is spent on food, housing, transport, education and wellness care. Of course, parents can number on any support from the government, but as noted in the study "these costs do not full compensate for government support programmes (such as '800+', 'Good start', 'Maluch+'), although as long as they function, they reduce part of the expenditure" - noted.
One of the instagram profiles @bizblogpl besides refers to this topic. Why am I talking about this? So you don't spit on 800 plus they're only collected by lazy mothers who live like donuts in butter for that money. I counted this and 800 gold times 12 months for 18 years is 173 1000 gold. You inactive gotta put it out of your own wallet - noted the author of the film.
800 plus under fire? "Summer there were no specified benefits, and yet the children were born"
Under an instagram movie about the cost of raising a child, there were comments that although the amount itself may seem high, "there were no specified benefits, yet children were born even more than now" - writes 1 of the net users. "In my opinion, alternatively of 800 plus there should be free lunches at schools, but so decent, not brajs that children do not want to move. Unfortunately, people who have money will be 800 plus in fact be allocated to the child, but in pathological families where the kid goes hungry, unfortunately not always 800 plus will improve the situation of the child, and dinner would always hit his stomach" - she added another 1 of the commentators.
The video besides featured comments from parents saying that this 800 plus is actually a drop in the sea of needs and they would have no objection to the program being liquidated, and they themselves could number on a number of reliefs, specified as free nursery and kindergarten, no queues for specialists, taxation breaks and additional worker benefits, specified as a fewer days of extra leave for the child.
What do you think of the cost of raising a child? Is 800 plus adequate government support? I look forward to your comments: [email protected]. I warrant anonymity.
