New plan
- Pocket-money amounts for children in Czech children’s homes and other institutions have not changed for 12 years.
- The youngest children can receive as little as 40 Czech korunas per month.
- Legal rules also limit the value of gifts that caregivers can buy for them.
Children in Czech children’s homes and other institutions may see their pocket money increase after 12 years without any change in the amounts they receive.
The youngest children currently start at 40 Czech korunas a month. The unchanged payments apply to boys in children’s homes and to children in other institutional facilities, according to the provided account.
Caregivers also face limits on the value of gifts they can buy for the children because of legal rules. The possible increase would therefore affect both regular pocket money and the restrictions surrounding more expensive presents.
