International Children's Day celebrated today in Belarus

1 июня 2018

Today the whole world celebrates International Children's Day. This is a special holiday for Belarus.

Increasingly, Belarusian families have three or more babies. Last year, about 20,000 third or subsequent children were born, which is 8,000 more than 7 years ago. The government also takes a proactive approach to the education of the new generation. 524 million dollars have already been credited to 52,500 household family deposit accounts. Also, in terms of law, adoption of young children today is equated to birth. Families with adopted children also receive benefits and can take maternity leave. Of all the 500 children adopted in Belarus last year, about 150 children are younger than 3 years old.
