child rearing benefit

Over one hundred Romanian mothers, fathers, children and grandparents picketed Labor Ministry headquarters Monday, protesting against the child-rearing benefit cut.

Romania’s Labor Ministry has decided to cut 25% of the child-rearing benefit, currently standing at 85% of the parent’s average income for the previous year, starting June 1, Andreea Vass-Paul, economic adviser to Prime Minister Emil Boc, told MEDIAFAX Friday.
