Introduction of prenatal allowance, 1987.
Since 1987, a prenatal allowance has been paid in Bolivia for the last five months of pregnancy.  The allowance is equal to the statutory minimum wage and may be drawn in combination with the temporary disability benefit payable in respect of maternity.  In 1987, the birth grant was also increased by 50% to be equivalent to the statutory monthly minimum wage. In addition, in 1987, the housing allowance was abolished.
