Is a mere piece of identity really that precious? Let's calculate how much a Macao identity is worth.

When you get old, you have money to take:
In Macao, you only need to pay 90 Macao Patacas per month (60 from the employer and 30 from the employee). As long as you pay continuously for 5 years, you can enjoy a standard monthly pension at the age of 60 or 65. Currently, it is 3,350 Patacas per month. A 65-year-old, plus 8,000 Patacas in elderly benefits and a pile of savings, can receive nearly 70,000 Patacas a year.

Having children and getting married is beneficial.
The Macao government provides childbirth and marriage subsidies, which everyone can apply for. Each subsidy is 1,900 Macao Patacas.

Continuing education benefits, even driving lessons are covered.
In 2011, the Macao government launched the "Macao Continuing Education Development Plan," providing a fixed subsidy of 5,000 Patacas per person to support residents' continuing education. The second phase increased it to 6,000 Patacas per person, and it can also be used to pay for driving lessons!

15 years of free education, can directly study abroad in Europe and America.
Since 2007, Macao has implemented 15 years of free education from kindergarten to high school, along with tuition assistance ranging from 4,000 to 9,000 Patacas, a 3,000 Patacas meal allowance, and a 2,000 to 2,500 Patacas study supplies allowance. High school graduates can enjoy preferential policies for applying to domestic prestigious universities with low scores, and can also study directly in the United States.
