Family benefits

As from 1998 onwards, child allowances are available for formal sector workers covered by the Social Security Scheme. A benefit of 350 Bath per month (7,07 EUR, 10,40 USD) will be paid for each child younger than age 6, but for no more than two children at a time.

Special systems for child allowances are in place for judges, civil servants, employees of state enterprises, and employees of private schools.
