A detailed analysis of the demographic situation in the country is carried out at a meeting with the President.
The population of Belarus is about 9.5 million people. And recently there has been a downward trend. The majority of countries in the world are facing the same problems. Natural population decline is also an acute problem in the European region. Exceptional measures have been taken to support families with children in our country, which are not found in other states. This includes concessional lending for large families, a family capital program and, of course, paid parental leave for parents with a child up to three years. In total, there are more than a dozen types of support. The requirement of the President is to focus on the most effective ones, without dissipating funds for inefficient projects.
The main task for the near future is to develop and implement effective measures that will increase the birth rate. At the same time, increased attention will be paid to the formation of a positive and respectful attitude towards motherhood and family values in the society.
