子ども手当

Child allowance, Child support aid

未来ある子どもたちが家庭内で安心して育てられるように、0歳から中学校卒業までの児童を育てている人に現金が支払われる制度。現在は児童手当と呼ばれる。

This refers to a system through which cash is paid to those who are raising children, from the ages of 0 up to graduating from junior high school, so the children with their futures ahead of them can be raised with peace of mind at home. It is now called the “The School Children’s Allowance” (児童手当"jidou teate").
