. citizens of thrushes. with the address to the federalist family for the 1st time we do it in the beginning god leave here we need to start resolving large scale economical technological goals that we have shown as possible its contents are reflected in the nation project its implementation demand quality all of the state management the work of the government on all the level of. an direct dialogue with citizens today are as society has demand for it changes people want to development and they go for a very they want to move for a very good in their professions and there are no in their well being ready to take responsibility for it as a job they do in which they know better and watch should be change in how it should

be changed where the work where the elite in this city is in the villages all over the country rate all the changes be increase with each year. with the result that people can really feel it can really see to provide good quality of life the active participation for its citizens their destiny of brushy its historical. bans on how many people we will have in our county i would like to start the sparge with the demographics depend on how many children will be born in russian families any here in. 5 years in 10 years. what will the leave and what will they do for the improvement of the country and what values will be the foundation for them in their a future life they're almost 147000000 people living in russia now but we are.

at a very difficult demographic period at the moment because there it is that usually the magic that we have taking starting from that meeting took thousands we've managed to get some positive dynamics in demographics and we haven't had the nature but the growth in certain periods so that's why we have more and more school students. but now the generation that were born the 98 1st starting to have families and the birth rate is going down they have the problem with the demographic period that the rush is going through at that moment of such a key. for. number of births not for women in 29. according to a brilliant in the reader assessment $1.00 is that in a lot in order not enough to pay that is not a lot for our country yes

a lot of european countries have the same rates but it's not enough for our country just to compare. 1.3 that's what we had. $43.00 during the great patriotic war and they've it was even worse in the $99.00. in 1909 for example it was 1.16 just 1.6 d. and it was even worse than during the great but war. families were something greer and sometimes people have to. renounce from having children and of course we are where you. draw specs and we must face this challenge not only to you. prevailed from this demographic crabs all shoes to which he adds this save the growth of the population of the country in 2024. miles b. 1.7 you mcgrath takes. that has you know you knew the verge so or agency of

state solution was that every step we made out really well we have. a state program must be able to weighted 1st of all from the point of view of the higher in the priority of keeping a multiplying population of russia. was. building a long term policy of supporting the families and we. ran very selves on the specific situation we must deal with what difficulty is a young family that has many children already and have children yes. yes for example a nursery matter. but fail a budget to help the regions you should be poor at the end of 2020 one's that to create 255000 new places in the nurseries in 282-1000 stand out 98000 places like that it's only

a 78000 were created and that is the real of them are jet 37500 lighters in the nursery as they did kitchen lights in this movie other notorious don't have the lights and so they can't. educate children they can't take care of the children so europe had regions might not be your colleagues which are that's not the way to work what are you doing. means that we have created these these $77000.00 and they are not even operational completely operational half of them is not operational. and by 20 or 21 we've must have 177. point 3 so what i urge you to do average being possible even though it's already hard to say that it's in the if you must do it you must feel this gap of. we must work and all the direction to support the families and there is even more an urgent problem if there is

a direct threat to our demographic the. low income. potential of port authority citizens and more of the families according to a different level of 70 to 80 per cent of that low income families are that bama leaves that have children and you are well aware of that just as are. quite often when even both parents have jobs which income of such families are surely modest so what we have already done that starting from january of this year and the family of that have led them to subsistence you wages are going to have 4 if your 1st and 2nd children and not up to 1.5 years of age but up to 3 here it's a bit of these children to amount of this way and their fans on this level and raid . in specific region in the average incomes raise more than the $11000.00 roubles a depends on the region as well as you pay for average people and with the support

of the federal budget the payments for the 3rd and sequined children by a bridge until the federation now is a kluge all the regions of the euro saib europe and the 4 is and it's a significant support for the families and i've been thinking and i think you will also understand that when that child turns 3 people. stop. that family right away can get into a difficult situation with being can that's how it happens now and we cannot allow it would be as especially their standing well that is before children go to school the mother of cancer coming by and working and taking curate. when you are old well we're having children having just great children and the kids are getting sick a lot so moderate you can go to work so you did these i suggest you usually musician who forged the bands for the 3 to 7 years of age including.

the. starting with the 1st of january 2020 all of the current year. it was up doing it in us so who is going to be affected by this measure and how should that work that will be received by the families who are not one subsystem serape 1st person so these are families very difficult situations to get that one should just apply for such and to stay legal if we show. this procedure of modern day that and must be convenient and simple for the citizens so old they don't have to stand in lines and don't have a.t.m. tricks in stores they can do to rebuild levi a rail relevant state weapon each region of the federation as i've already mentioned. the income can vary when they get on with their business and that

payment said the 1st stage would be how awful the sit and see. rate 5500 that's not all that we've got sas how the system works and the world see that some families are not reaching the subsistence sea level getting this 5500 that will do the next step and what will make the next cap and starting from the next year we will pay the full version again which region will depend on the region we are going to pay the fools. levon point 5000 roubles. that it will present looping once again with the figures are going to vary but in average it's going to be $11000.00 per month to implement this manager we are going

to need here is resources to adjust the federal budget so i am asking requesting the. parliament and the government to do it as quickly as possible. and the region they should all should do their part of the work but what al should be done and also in a really short time in the last year is address i have mansions to extend the practice of the social contract. and then the program of improving quality quality and income for each but i'm going to need as part of this data is going to provide regular payments to help to reach training and to improve the qualification help in finding a job or starting a small business by giving this full support to the people with low wage society and that's. a way to do something in return to resolve the problems finding jobs or to be responsible and doing. whatever is needed to be done and the region started

this mechanism already its efficiency is not high. and. there is not a lot of impact on the results you can measure with a low income families so i would like to have the government to take into consideration this experience and to a job the principles of this social contract and to expand the support and the region so that by the 2021 this mechanism started working in all the regions of the federation. but as you were showing you when you were dreaming and i would like to draw your attention than i am speaking now to the ad so the regions to be. were going to pay attention not just. number of the social contracts but. the resolution of the problem with poverty but i think in 2006 when i made this address to the federal assembly i suggested. i sat back in 2000 seats because i remember how i

said it so now let's talk about the main important thing but the main thing a lot of what i'm with you and i suggest that the maternity you programmatically band main goal was to help the families that are making this decision about having going to a 2nd child now this program is working until there's no 31st of december 2021 and i know that quite often people are asking why did you go this state are going to do after the 31st of december 2021 but at the end with we are going to extend this program. mean you look at it would you go back at least until 31st of december 20th when to 6. which was do it is a sad step to see we must be made to day. that's not enough and i'm doing that as we please we have support of young people do who started there are any family is

and bream about having children and in this regard i would like to suggest you additional solutions regarding the maternity well 1st system you that. the comment before is on the 1st of january 20th when you. have been having the 1st child the family's well how the ride to get maternity payments in the full scope of the day was. going to operate there jasmine from the generation. 466600 17. while i go he said. that the family was supposed to get their operation having a 2nd child and subsequent children this support will help the families who are having a 2nd child but i think. at the moment at this time if that's not enough to basing

the demographic challenges it's not an hour before they counter it so we need we must do more i said jazz. the maternity of well 415-0004 the ride to get this payment. the right to get this additional funds for the maternity unit of total wealth for the family will get when the 2nd child is more into you so the total amount of the maternity well. will be 6 congress $16617.00 gribble. the nation and in the future is going to be a jazz to avoid and with. that a family has a child now than after the birth of the 2nd child a maternity a well as big event in. korea as a mallet as i've already mentioned made 6 converts 16617 roubles.

i would like to wed we have already made the decision that out the child is 4 and the state is going to be you 450000 roubles mortgage. so the family with 3 children will get this. resolved either mastic housing problems in the amount of more than 1000000 roubles bring the number of bridge and c.d.'s and stick with district standards it's more than the hofner of the housing but right. mortgage rates for the families with 3 or more children where. and they said for the whole period of the mortgage for the families that use these. is now going to get them increased more than 10 fold and that there is a special program for the young families a mortgage loan with

a 2 percent interest rate is so i would like to suggest to the habit of the regions to use more actively into a family feud that we're actually going to have already a mansion that 4 of the kids from 3 to 7 years. bad some not all that we can and must go to do when a child go to school parents especially moderate they have more time to get a job to get additional income but. expenses to prepare a child for a school also increases and the family has more to think about to deal with and the family must be supported at a rate so in this regard i'd suggest 3 hot meals for all the elementary school. students from the poorest until 4th grade. he was going to work with us. and we had a lot of this conscience regarding gears and we talked

a lot about these and my call they used and by and large some of them. that they weren't against it as they didn't want to support this show and they said it wasn't really fair that people with. the are going to get the same help from the state yes it does make sense and that was true. there is a different kind of logic doesn't it in our society after one must feel equal doesn't the. children and their parents. that are humiliated by the very situation as of today they mustn't feel that they can't even. feed their children the so i think. it's very important and yes i'm hearing it a lot better even than salvia times with the wide social support broader for its citizens if. they didn't support it as much but we didn't have to gab to get with different stratas of the population back then so i think it's justified step

justified measure. it's. organized 3 hot meals and healthy meals i would like to underscore that i think we should use the resources federal regional and local. it's not only about the mining and we'll match create in schools the infrastructure we know it's great infrastructure we must. build the supply roads and we must get quality products to kids and even back in soviet times it wasn't done as i have already said it is going to take time but and those regions and schools that have that are technical and radiate and. be provided starting from the 1st of september of 2020 and i was an urge my colleagues from the region to start this program no later than 1st september of the year and 20 degrees so in all the schools all

over the country the students from as gad 3 quality in the old school and i would like to say in general the significance for all the measure is that we are using to use in creation in russia. and efficient system by all of the families so we're going to show that the income of our receipt is in sports about all those citizens who are raising children were enough to have good quality of life in the shit you post i would like to reiterate what i've already said before the ads that were made and the previous year is in that even the graphic hadn't radii you wanted results back then in the past that's why enron. we have a large generation coming out these sort of the kids that are going to kindergarten going to school now at the moment it's important soledad that they understood the value of man it's children family that family is a happen is love is that you joy all of paternity and maternity and that it's

a link between generations and taking care of the elders and all the children is something that unites people give them this feel of protection safety or security is the coming generation are going to. as something that is and will becomes our basis say in their adult lives today and we're world resolved the historical task begad the russia than will be developed at the large and successful conference. but. they have the support of the family and of the family values and something that we're doing for the future and for the generations that are going to leave in the hope of a large technical and so see societal changes and souls then. the parties of this future and could use all of their

a potential that we have much for him to come up with all the conditions for a damn cold that average child wherever you are still leaves could get a good quality education in the middle of these decay the rough is going good about 19000000 children which is almost 6000000 more than in 2010 in that. some people it's being that you can influence the protests as demographics show kid with a large pond do develop demographics doesn't make a lot of sense but in practice and we've seen the. support of the families are working and it's doing even better than. we expect that it's great that schools have so many children now but at that same time this situation shouldn't f. bag the quality of their education so urged the regents and the government being in mind the demographic another back to the calculator how many additional schools

must be created. to implement. just means to the national education program and which should be flexible and if we have to building a new school but to use all the educational and other infrastructures to reach his goals to its ability of that modern technology sure you might use them to educate children almost all the skilled in russia or it could have internet connection and 2021 would be my be not just can add to this to the web they must have the highest speed connections which will allow them to start the digital transformation of the russian schools in the world provide access as students and teacher is bad teaching programs that will help to uncover reveal the potential of every child and. kids that the standard is for children are being developed and the same

should be done for it but aren't for the music development and neither kind of. art project more than a 1000000000 rubles to buy musical instruments where the children facility at the bottom is bigger than bad. about 1000 facility is becoming deliberate dated or outdated and are not good enough to have classes so i ask the government to help the regions to bring them in in good shape and i would like to remind the region that after all it's your responsibility now modern school. means modern teachers. and. by that made a lot of these dickhead. nation. must be extended to more than half of this teacher itself the country. not only in the general education but in the additional like ational education to date and their leaders all declared we are

closer to the children and it is sad they work with children raising the children educating the children is a huge responsibility. possibly but good and demands a special kind of preparation. for him teacher and very special preparation in this regard i think from the 1st types of damage you had to show old payments must be implemented to the poor and teachers and their mound of mold as a band by the thousands to using the federal budget for this response we had a lot of discussions about that also. in the studio on the phone because it's the responsibility of the regions people here are aware of this but what is a form teacher is that it is a mentor and it's a federal function. so most of what is in me is if i sure have course i would like to draw your attention to that or the. current payments

for a human being a parent teacher of mars would be much remain i would like to draw your attention to that and i will really monitor the situation and its records on the ground but i have talked a lot about. salary is the teacher is so. that people in the public sector of the executive orders so that made in 1000 must be strictly followed and i'm coming back to this topic. for nothing that. we don't monitor or. a lot of people here are aware of their. day one to. drop that subject then you should do this and we're talking about people who work. to this very important city or it's in the life of the country so there are jobs to be compensated fairly and brit going to have more graduates. which is access for a day higher education which is. why i would like to increase.
