Four cars collided and a trolleybus caught fire: what emergencies happened in the Kirov region in 24 hours, November 3
"Kommersant": (https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7268190?tg) According to Richard Jackson, director of the non-governmental organization "Institute of Global Aging", as soon as the birth rate falls, values are revised. This happens in society. And it is very difficult to influence these processes. "The fewer children you have among your peers, peers and neighbors, the more the general social atmosphere changes," he says.
Many demographers believe that some measures can still have a positive effect. Thus, working people usually receive a direct, albeit limited, benefit for the birth of a second and subsequent child. France is a good example in this regard. France has the highest birth rate in Europe (1.8 children per woman).
Moreover, state payments start with the second child, and if there are three or more children, the amount increases and various benefits are added. But many demographers admit that France's measures are in many ways similar to those of other European countries, so why the birth rate is somewhat higher still remains partly a mystery. But many experts argue that all the mysteries and contradictions associated with prenatal care are not a reason to abandon it. After all, even unconditional evidence that measures to stimulate the birth rate do not lead to an increase in the birth rate does not necessarily mean that they have no effect at all. "Even if the birth rate had not increased, it would probably have decreased even more (without Kommersant, without prenatal diagnostics measures)," says Anna Raute from Queen Mary University of London.
