Karin Prien Advocates for Increase in Parental Allowance Rates

Federal Minister for Family Affairs Karin Prien has advocated for an increase in the minimum and maximum rates of parental allowance. Despite the Finance Ministry's call for savings on parental allowance, Prien emphasizes that savings can be made elsewhere. She argues that support for families in Germany is urgently needed and that increasing parental allowance could help alleviate the financial burden on new parents.
