There is no reference GDP for this country, so the share is not calculated.

Adults: 16,437,069 × SYP 800 × 12 = SYP 157,795,862,400

Children: 7,157,554 × SYP 400 × 12 = SYP 34,356,259,200

SYP 157,795,862,400 + SYP 34,356,259,200 = SYP 192,152,121,600

Offset benefits, recovered tax, administrative savings and later economic effects are not deducted. This is a gross cost, not a net cost.
