Government proposes overhaul of child and family support measures to tackle demographic challenges

To address demographic challenges, the government has proposed a fundamental revision of state support measures for families with children. Before arriving at specific decisions, the President raised several key questions. "Is there a guarantee that expanding financial incentives will actually boost birth rates?" clarified Alexander Lukashenko. The head of state also inquired about global experience, the long-term effect (five or more years) of strong state support, and its impact on the national budget and economy.
