Young mothers in rural areas of Tatarstan to be supported with maternity grants
Among measures taken to increase birth rate among residents of rural areas of Tatarstan, maternity grants are expected to be rather effective, as it was assumed by Elmira Zaripova, Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Protection of the Republic of Tatarstan at weekly press-conference organized in the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan.
According to the Minister, in so many countries around the world today we see low birthrates, ageing populations and governments struggling to think up ways to ensure that there will be enough taxpayers to pay for future old age pension schemes and healthcare. There are many different ways that countries have sought to encourage their citizens to have more babies. As for the Republic of Tatarstan, couples living in rural areas will receive 50 000 rubles for having one child and 100 000 for the third starting from January 2018.
