The State Duma proposed to create a support system for single parents
In Russia, it has been proposed to develop a federal program to help parents who raise their children on their own. It should provide financial, household and psychological support. This was announced on November 9 by Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Maria Voropayeva.
"It is important to provide assistance not only to single mothers, but also to single fathers. Such a program and a large support system should be built here, which also applies to financial support," the deputy said in an interview with TASS.
According to Voropayeva, individual measures to help single parents are already in effect in Russian regions. In particular, they are assisted in placing children in kindergartens, finding employment and getting out of difficult life situations through a social contract.
The Vice Speaker stressed that the federal system should include the services of social nannies who will be able to look after children for several hours. In addition, parents need psychological help.
Voropayeva said on November 8 that they had proposed to introduce grant support for young families in Russia, which would help cover the costs of organizing a wedding. According to the MP, many young couples have to save money for a wedding for years, and some are forced to resort to loans. She noted that financial assistance for the organization of the celebration could be additional support for families, and they could use the saved funds for the birth and upbringing of their first child.
