Share of children with an orphan allowance (Article 50a)

Family allowances are the monthly amount granted to any employed person or equivalent with at least one dependent child. The amount of family allowances varies according to the position of the child in the household, his age, his family situation and the scheme in which he finds himself. There are two family allowance schemes: the general scheme and the guaranteed family benefits scheme (PFG). The guaranteed family benefits scheme is a special scheme reserved for children of families without financial resources. In this statistic, all children in the household who receive family allowances under one of these two schemes are included. Depending on their own situation and that of their parents, children are entitled to a basic family allowance (ordinary rate or allowance for orphaned children) which may be increased by a so-called social supplement. Here, we are interested in situations where the child is entitled to a scheme, rate or social supplement linked to a situation of greater precariousness. Namely - The share of children with guaranteed family benefits (GFP), regardless of the rate (ordinary or increased) - The share of children with an orphan package (art. 50bis), regardless of the scheme (general or PFG) - The share of children with a rate increased by a social supplement (unemployed parent over 6 months, pensioner, disabled, sick over 6 months and/or single parent and with an income below a certain ceiling), regardless of the scheme (general or PFG) Each of the situations is precisely defined in the section 'Legal bases' - Right category’ in “[\2](\1)”. Other useful information is also available on the institutional portal of "[\2](\1)".
