SHORT:
President Putin looking at ways to increase Russia’s birth rate to deal with population issues.
Some ideas include giving families more money, making maternity and parental leave longer, offering help with raising children, and reducing taxes for bigger families.
The government might also make childcare and education more affordable, spend money on facilities, and support a better balance between work and family life. Public campaigns could encourage people to have more children and have a positive view of parenthood.
