To support families with children in our country, exceptional measures have been taken that are not found in other states: concessional lending for large families, the family capital program, paid parental leave for parents with a child up to three years. There are more than a dozen types of support in Belarus. The main task for the near future is to develop and implement effective measures that will increase the birth rate.

In addition, special attention will be paid to the formation of a positive and respectful attitude towards motherhood and family values ​​in society.
