Parental allowance set to increase from January after Senate vote

Parental allowance is set to rise in Czechia from the start of next year, after the Senate approved the move on Wednesday. The total amount allocated per child should go from the present CZK 300,000 to CZK 350,000 under the change, which still has to be rubberstamped by the president.

The increased parental allowance will go to children born after the turn of the year. The maximum payment period will be reduced from four to three years.
