The Ādaži local council in Latvia plans to increase the benefit paid to families when a child is born. The planned amount of the benefit is up to 500 euros.

The proposal was decided on by the council's Education, Culture, Sports and Social Affairs Committee. A committee of this kind reviews issues in its areas of responsibility before they move forward in the council.

The source does not say how large the current benefit is, when the change could take effect, or whether it still needs approval at a council meeting. Because these details were not given, they are not included here.
