Each child receives 3,600 yuan per year. The 2026 child-rearing subsidy applications will fully open on January 5.
In July 2025, the state issued the “Implementation Plan for the Child-Rearing Subsidy System,” clearly stipulating a subsidy of 3,600 yuan per child per year for infants and toddlers under the age of 3. As of December 31, 2025, over 24 million people nationwide have received the child-rearing subsidy.
