webfact Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Incentive increased for having babies By The Nation Married couples should support Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s policy of boosting the country’s birth rate and have more children, the head of the Social Security Office said on Wednesday, and there are financial rewards for doing so. SSO secretary-general Suradech Waleeithikul announced increases in benefits under the office’s coverage for working couples. The Bt13,000 flat rate covering the birth delivery procedure is now available for any number of babies a family has, instead of being limited to just two, he said. The SSO also offers a 90-day maternity-leave allowance at 50 per cent of the mother’s average income, or the median Bt15,000 salary, for up to two births, he said. Suradech said his office would soon seek Cabinet approval in principle for hiking the monthly child support allowance from Bt400 to Bt600 for children up to six years old, for up to three children. If approval is given, a draft ministerial regulation would be submitted to the Council of State for scrutiny and then to the Labour minister for implementation, he said.

PatOngo Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 With teen pregnancy running rampant, I don't think they need to worry about birthrates. With financial rewards on offer the rate will soar whether wanted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post robertthesculptor Posted February 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2018 Fools. Too many babies die of neglect now. And marriage in Thailand is only a government formality. most have any number of partners over time and men just walk off. Need to actually study what happens. In other words think. Actually teach real sex education. Not so many unwanted children is a good healthy indicator Of the level of a society. Here it seems kids are born and die soon. The answer is not to have more but to see to the needs on all levels of the children 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sunderland Posted February 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2018 Maybe if they took steps to prevent unnecessary deaths, they wouldn't need to increase the number of births. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moti24 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I know a few Thai guys that are usually too pissed to service their wives on a regular basis. I'll get this article translated into Thai, and pop round to see the wives. My calendar still has a few slots vacant, so perhaps I can help the dwindling population; only too pleased to help Thailand's future 4.0 strugglers.

coulson Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Populist pre campaign strategy, and a bad idea. They should just stick to the old tried and trusted way, and pay for votes without burdening all the grandparents with more babysitting duties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it bluntly I am far from convinced this a good idea Its not going to improve the gene pool, which at best is woeful and steadily declining.
