A pro-government commentator calls on the government to come up with yet more incentives to boost the birth rate, as it has sunk to a new law in the wake of the COVID pandemic.
Magyar Hírlap’s Tamás László calls on the government to introduce further legislation to boost the birth rate in order to maintain Hungary’s demographic balance. The pro-government commentator recalls that in its last Competitiveness Program published in 2019, the National Bank set out a plan to boost the number of annual births to 110,000 from the current 90,000. In order to reach this target, the government should offer more subsidies for young couples to buy homes and help mothers to take up jobs, László recommends.
In addition to economic incentives, the government should address cultural issues as well, he believes. The government should continue to promote marriage and fight the ‘LGBTQ-lobby’ through books and study programs, he continues. László also thinks that the government should follow US conservatives and consider the revision of abortion legislation ‘to make sure that all conceived children are actually born’.
