PM Ch.Saikhanbileg announced in December that the government would review the monthly allowance program for children, as there is a need to change social welfare policies in order to endure economic distress.

The government announced that it would end the monthly distribution of 20,000 MNT to  children between the ages of 0-18 if their parents' monthly income is more than 1,000,000 MNT, making an amendment to the law.

But female MPs in parliament  oppose the decision. The female parliamentarians also objected to discrimination in ending the annual subsidies for women with four or more living children.

Women with four or more living children are eligible for the the Order of Maternal Glory, Second Class, and receive a medal and an annual subsidy.  Those with more than six children receive the Order of Maternal Glory, First Class, and an annual cash subsidy.

The MPs delivered a petition on the issue, which is seen discriminate against mothers and children, to PM Ch.Saikhanbileg.
