“The President started with family issues and designated them as the clear priority of our work for the near future.

He proposed to greatly strengthen support for childhood and parenthood.

Regions with low birth rates will receive additional funds, the family mortgage and maternal capital programs that people demand will be extended, the tax deduction for children will be increased... I think such an integrated approach will help achieve an increase in the birth rate,” the deputy explained.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a new national project “Family”.
