Quick info
Data type Numeric
Scale Metric
Value labels Not applicable

Label Maximum monthly per child, in national currency.
Related indicators NA (no information available)

The variable indicates the maximum monthly child benefit amount per child in nominal values, expressed in national currency. This variable is only coded for child benefits which are provided per individual child. The dataset aims to provide comparable data on the maximum monthly child benefit amount across countries with different types of child benefits. Therefore, for transfers which are provided at the household-level, this variable estimates the equivalent cash transfer amount per child provided by transfers provided at the household level. This is based on demographic data compiled by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).


Coding rules

The variable assumes a value equal to the maximum monthly amount provided per child in nominal values, expressed in national currency. This data is based on information in the relevant law or program description.

For transfers which are provided at the household-level, the equivalent cash transfer per child is calculated by dividing the maximum transfer per household (fam_cben_citres_amount_max_hh_nominal) by the average number of children (aged below 15 years) across households with at least one member aged below 15 years in the respective country.


Missing information is coded as follows:

  • -999 = No information available: Data was unavailable or could not be found.
  • -888 = Policy does not exist: Data was not collected due to knowledge that the policy either does not exist or has been discontinued.
  • -777 = Not applicable: Data was not collected because it was not relevant for this specific country or child benefit system.
