Recall that in June, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that the benefit for children aged from eighteen months to three years will be increased to 10 thousand rubles from the current 50 rubles. However, to receive benefits will only low-income families.

The Prime Minister called 50-ruble grant “historic” and recalled that it was introduced more than 20 years ago — in 1994 — as a temporary measure. Now the money is nothing but irritation and resentment among recipients not cause. Medvedev has described the proposal of the government was to increase “child allowance” to the level of the regional subsistence level, but to pay not for everybody but only for those who really need it. At the same time rely the income of these families will need, most likely, in a separate procedure. According to official statistics, more than half of large families live below the poverty line. According to the labor Ministry, the income of 75% of families with children is less than two times the subsistence minimum of able-bodied citizen. Therefore, according to Medvedev, the aid should be distributed is not “a little bit of everything and equal” and given “real needs” and address the principle. He acknowledged that the expenditures for such payments in the new approach, of course, will increase. The payment mechanism still needs to be developed, he added.
