“I'm sure it needs to be done.
Because, unfortunately, today there is a big gap between the incomes of those citizens who have the opportunity to work, and those who are forced to stay at home, because they have to take care of disabled children or elderly relatives,” the deputy said.
She noted that this problem exists not only in Russia, but throughout the world, and in Russia "it is being gradually solved."
“Including the spread of a system of long-term care for the elderly and disabled.
Today it is extended to 34 subjects of Russia.
But, of course, it is necessary to annually increase the number of regions included in this system, develop it itself, and also increase funding for the social direction ... We need to help those relatives who care for the disabled, ”concluded Bessarab.
Irina Volynets, the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, the founder of the National Parents' Committee, proposed to increase the amount of payments for the care of children with disabilities under the age of 18.
