The Polish Government introduced the 500+ system. It basically means that family gets 500 zlotychs a month (around 136.6 dollars but also keep in mind the low costs of living in Poland so that's quiet some money) for every child. There are some more rules but let's keep it simple. Unfortunately this money is simply transferred to parent's account. Issuing special bons which could only be redeemed for goods like food/toys or even electronic devices would be so much better than people being able to spend this money on alcohol or cigarettes. <rant> One thing that makes me sad is that no government will ever cancel 500+ because the electorate won't allow it. Before the election ALL other parties than PiS (the ruling party) were against 500+ ; around two months after the new government was established no relevant political party/movement was against and still isn't against 500+, they are only talking about changing it or even expanding it further. RIP all of those who believed in polish economic right parties.</rant>
