baby bonus
Government parental stipend
A baby bonus is a government payment to parents upon the birth or adoption of a child, intended to offset costs and encourage population growth.
The term is most common in Australia and Canada, where such programs have been prominent policy initiatives: The baby bonus helped cover our hospital bills.
Sometimes used more loosely for any child-related tax benefit or subsidy.
