Coverflex, a Portuguese technology company, analyzed the evolution of the Childhood Voucher since 2021 and revealed that adherence by companies in Portugal has been growing exponentially. The number of companies using this benefit went from 404 in 2021 to 3,771 in 2025, representing an increase of over 800%.

According to the analysis, the growth rate in adherence by participating companies stood at 91%. In addition to growth in adherence, the value attributed to the Childhood Voucher also saw a significant increase, although the article does not specify the concrete amounts.

This growth occurs in a context where the school year is about to begin, which makes the Childhood Voucher particularly relevant for workers with children of school age. The benefit allows companies to offer financial support intended for expenses related to employees' children.

Coverflex is the Portuguese technology company behind this childhood support benefit, which has been gaining popularity among national companies as a way to attract and retain talent, especially during back-to-school periods.
