“Matkapital, in our opinion, should grow, its forms should expand,” RIA Novosti quotes Kuznetsova.
She also stated that “it is very important to respectfully treat the work of parents, for example, take into account the years that dad and mom spend on raising children in seniority”.
“Of course, we understand that this would be very important for a large family, but it seems to me that this support measure may be relevant for many families,” she added.
Earlier, the chairman of the Public Chamber's commission on demography, Sergei Rybalchenko, made a proposal to introduce paternal capital.
The letter was sent to Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.
