This variable is part of a group of variables that indicate the maximum monthly child benefit amount per child in nominal values, expressed in national currency, in a hypothetical family with three children aged 8, 10 and 12 years old. Information on the benefit amounts was coded based on this hypothetical family for all countries in the Global North to account for variation in child benefit amounts based on the age of the child and the order of birth. This variable indicates the maximum monthly amount of the citizenship-/residency-based child benefit for the third child aged 8 years old.


Coding rules

The group of variables are compiled based on information from the Comparative Family Policy Database (Gauthier 2011), and also follow the same coding rules. The information was extended to recent years with information from the Mutual Information System on Social Protection (MISSOC).

The group of variables assume the maximum value of the following variables based on a hypothetical family with three children aged 8-, 10-, and 12-year-old (Gauthier 2011):

  • the maximum monthly amount received for the FIRST child, aged 12 for the employment-based (fam_cben_emp_amount_max_child1_age12_nominal) or citizenship-/residency-based child benefit (fam_cben_citres_amount_max_child1_age12_nominal)
  • the maximum monthly amount received for the SECOND child, aged 10 for the employment-based (fam_cben_emp_amount_max_child2_age10_nominal) or citizenship-/residency-based child benefit (fam_cben_citres_amount_max_child2_age10_nominal)
  • the maximum monthly amount received for the THIRD child, aged 8 for the employment-based (fam_cben_emp_amount_max_child3_age8_nominal) or citizenship-/residency-based child benefit (fam_cben_citres_amount_max_child3_age8_nominal)


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.
