CHILD RAISING ALLOWANCE UP TO THE CHILD’S SECOND BIRTHDAY - A TOOL OF SOCIAL POLICY

Summary/Abstract: The state comes in support of parents with different tools of financial aid needed for child raising. In this paper, we have presented a development of these forms of social protection, which have seen a frequent change after 2003. We have synthesized the main financial issues related to the child care benefit up to the child’s age of 2 years from the point of view of legal regulations and in particular from the point of view of the amount of the benefit, of the method of calculation, of the minimum and maximum amounts that can be paid from the social security budget, the period of time for which it is granted. In the second part of the work I have tried a brief statistical analysis of the value of this allowance granted at regional level in Romania and I have concluded the paper with a comparative presentation of the main forms of financial aid in some EU countries granted to parents for the period following the birth of the child.
