A legislative proposal to increase the insertion stimulus for parents returning to work before the end of child care leave has received unanimous approval from the Senate's budget committee. The initiative aims to align the stimulus amount with the child care allowance, potentially raising it to 8,500 lei monthly based on the parent's income. Currently, the stimulus is set at 1,500 lei or 650 lei depending on the circumstances. The proposal is still pending parliamentary approval and has faced criticism from the Legislative Council regarding its justification and impact on children's welfare. If adopted, the changes could take effect in 2027.
