In Russia, a new legislative initiative is underway to introduce state-level payments for couples who have been married for a long time, emphasizing the importance of family in modern society.
The bill, backed by the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, aims to encourage strong family relationships amid rising divorce rates and declining birth rates.
The proposed payments, which vary based on the length of marriage, reflect a growing recognition of the need to support traditional family values, especially as 2024 has been declared the Year of the Family in Russia.
