In 2017, dibao covered 7.24 million or 2.7 per cent of children, among which 2.05 million were in urban areas and 5.19 million were in rural areas. Children only accounted for 11 to 13 per cent of rural dibao recipients, much lower than the proportion of children among urban dibao recipients (16 to 25 per cent). Children in poor households have already benefited from the dibao cash transfer, and their nutrition, health and education outcomes have been improved.24
