“If dads get such a privilege, then there will be time for grandchildren and, of course, the opportunity to pass on all the life experience to their children who have grown up,” he believes.

According to Solenov, it is also important to provide for the preservation of benefits for fathers with many children even when children reach 18 years of age.

“Early retirement is an important support measure that is now in great demand,” he concluded.

Irina Volynets, the former commissioner for children's rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, the founder of the National Parents' Committee, proposed to allow early retirement for single fathers with many children.

According to her, there are no benefits for early retirement for fathers with many children who raise children alone.
