Facilitating Sustainable Caregiving Solutions
 

The state proactively addresses the pressing need for sustainable caregiving solutions by instituting a permanent allowance for parents acting as caregivers. The demand for long-term care services, particularly for minors requiring extraordinary care, will rise in the coming years. Granting a financial compensation mechanism to parents ensures a steady and reliable source of care, minimizing the reliance on ad hoc arrangements or institutional solutions. This strategic investment in sustainable caregiving improves the overall quality of care provided. It enhances minors' long-term well-being and development, leading to positive outcomes for both the individuals involved and society as a whole.
