These values are increased by an additional TND 9.375, TND 18.750 and TND 23.475 per quarter for the first, second and third child, respectively, in the case of single earner families (or approximately EUR 4.34, EUR 8.67 and EUR 10.85 respectively). Finally, some specific help with childcare costs (TND 15, or EUR 6.94 a month for up to 11 months for each eligible child) is available for employees earning less than two times the minimum wage (SMIG) and whose children are aged between two and 36 months. In comparison to an estimated cost of nursery care of TND 70-80 (EUR 32-37) per month and per child (excluding canteen costs),41 these payments are relatively small and young parents (aged under 28) are not eligible for any of these benefits anyway.
