Vladimir Putin is very worried about the declining population in Russia. Now the Russian President has come up with a new solution to deal with this problem. According to media reports, Putin has advised Russian citizens to have sex during lunch and coffee breaks. Putin's announcement has come at a time when Russia's fertility rate has fallen to 1.5 per woman. This is also a matter of concern for Russia. Because to keep the population of a country stable, the female fertility rate should be at least 2.1.
Health Minister appealed to increase the family
When Russian Health Minister Dr. Yevgeny Shestopalov has stressed that work should not be an obstacle to having children. He appealed to Russians to take advantage of lunch and coffee breaks to increase their families. As said, being too busy at work is not a good reason not to have sex. It is a useless excuse. You can have sex between breaks. Because life goes by very fast.
The Russian government is providing financial aid to the people
Russia's health minister said women aged 18 to 40 in Moscow are being encouraged to attend free fertility screenings designed to assess their reproductive health and potential. Not only this, authorities in Russia's Chelyabinsk region have also started financial assistance to increase the birth rate. Here women under 24 years of age are offered Rs 1.02 lakh (Rs 9.40 lakh) for the birth of their first child. As abortion remains banned in Russia, public figures and religious leaders advocate that a woman's first responsibility is the birth and raising of children.
Increase in divorce fees
Divorce fees have also been increased in Russia. According to official data released earlier this month, Russia recorded the lowest birth rate in 25 years in the first half of 2024. The data also showed that the birth rate fell below one lakh for the first time in June, which is a big decline.
16 thousand fewer children were born compared to last year
According to media reports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in July that a total of 5,99,600 children were born in Russia between January and June 2024, which is 16,000 less than the same period in 2023. This is disastrous for the country's future. It (birth rate) is now at a very low level.' Russia's population has declined due to the ongoing war with Ukraine. About 1 million people fled Russia during the war. Most of these are young people.
