25.3万事实孤儿纳入保障
More than 253,000 unattended children in China had received living stipends by the end of last year, a civil affairs official said on Monday. Each of the children, whose parents were absent and unable to take care of them for various reasons, received a monthly subsidy² of 1,140 yuan, said Ni Chunxia, deputy director of the Ministry³ of Civil Affairs' child welfare department.
民政部儿童福利司副司长倪春霞1月25日表示，截至2020年底，全国已有超过25.3万名事实无人抚养儿童被纳入保障范围，目前平均每人每月1140元。事实无人抚养儿童是指几种情形下父母无力履行抚养义务的儿童。
The measure was taken after 12 ministries⁴ and departments, including the Ministry of Civil Affairs, published a notice on strengthening the protection of de facto unattended children, which came into effect in January last year, she said.
民政部等12部门曾联合印发《关于进一步加强事实无人抚养儿童保障工作的意见》，自2020年1月起开始实施。
