Extending a permanent allowance to parents as caregivers represents a much-needed recognition of the significant contributions made by informal caregiving networks. Informal caregivers, including parents and legally responsible individuals, often provide personal care and assistance to minors without formal training or financial support. By acknowledging their vital role and offering compensation for extraordinary care when no alternative options are available, the state fosters a sense of value, respect, and empowerment among these caregivers. This recognition is instrumental in strengthening the informal caregiving system, promoting overall well-being, and enabling minors to thrive in a supportive and nurturing environment.
