May 30, 2018 (www.gov.ua) The children of Ukraine should be
happy, and adults should provide the measure of happiness that is necessary
through increasing birth rate, support for motherhood and childhood. Prime
Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman urged during the Government session.
"It is important to ensure that
our children be happy. And the measure of happiness depends on the adults. It
is worth remembering that we must create the environment enabling everyone to
develop. It is crucial to make Ukrainians population grow and them
happier", said Volodymyr Groysman.
He announced a number of Government
decisions that would become the impetus for the development of childhood. Thus,
the Government introduces a tradition of providing newborns with a special baby
box, in which there will be gathered everything needed in first weeks of life
of the infant. "Every child will receive a baby box from the state, packed
with love, so that during the early stages of life of a child each mother had
everything to care. This is the tradition we introduce to support birth rates.
Hundreds of thousands of families will receive such additional targeted
support", said the Prime Minister.
No less important, according to the
Head of Government, is to help the mother, especially if she works. Pursuant to
the decision of the Government and with the support of local authorities, in
Ukraine since January, 2019, a concept of hiring a "municipal nanny"
is introduced. Payment for her services will be partially offset from the
budget.
"We adopt a decision in synergy
with local governments, we introduce the concept "the municipal
nanny" starting January 1. When hiring a nanny, the state will compensate
for monthly wage costs, so that the child is under care", commented
Volodymyr Groysman.
He emphasized that child protection and support should
become the topmost priority for the Government. "The only criterion for
achieving welfare standards is higher birth rate", the Prime Minister
noted.
