State Duma deputies from the LDPR party came up with a proposal to increase the amount of maternity capital in Russia for the first child to 756 thousand rubles, and to raise it to 1 million rubles for the second and third children.
The bill proposes to amend Part 1 of Art. 6 of the Federal Law “On additional measures of state support for families with children”, according to which the size of the MSK from February 1, 2024 will be 756.7 thousand rubles for the first child and 1 million rubles for the second child, as well as for the third child, provided “that the right to additional measures of state support did not arise previously,” the explanatory note says.
Lawmakers believe that the adoption of the bill will provide real additional assistance to families, create conditions for the development and upbringing of children, and will have a positive impact on demographic development in the country.
Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, deputy head of the LDPR faction Yaroslav Nilov noted that the maternity capital program has already proven itself.
He recalled that, first of all, it was introduced in order to solve demographic issues in the country, stimulate the birth rate, and support the institution of motherhood and childhood.
"We proposed increasing the amount of maternity capital, and for the second and third child - up to 1 million rubles. Taking into account the fact that we have already announced an increase in the minimum wage from next year above the level of actual inflation, we believe that, taking into account the demographic situation in the country, it is necessary to increase the size of maternity capital - also above the level of actual inflation, thereby supporting families with children and encouraging families to have children," Nilov emphasized.
THAT is so positive.... how much more pro human and pro family can you be.
God bless. Never do I see anything come from Russia that isn't a positive for raising and having a family. With all that goes on now in the world - I can only feel a stronger calling for my wife and I to get out of the West, however impossibly difficult it seems at times.
