In this context, the wage, premium, and tax support offered to female employees under the 'Positive Discrimination for Women's Employment Project' (KİPAP) has been raised from 25,000 liras to 32,000 liras. Furthermore, the childcare support provided to ensure that working mothers can remain in registered employment has been increased from 3,000 liras to 7,500 liras.
