Very good article, the minister’s speech is excellent and goes through exactly what policies Hungary uses to promote the family.
Almost like you don’t need abortion when the government supports families like they’re supposed to.
A list of the policies:
- maternity support is granted, a one-off payment offered when the child is born.
- parents are entitled to paid childcare leave for three years.
- Child home care fee (GYED) extra package, introduced in 2014, offers significant support
- a generous family tax benefit
- the family allowance, offered on the basis of a subjective right and for each child
- the family tax reduction
- housing allowance for families
- (housing)
loans with subsidized interest- state-supported housing savings programmes
- family home-start subsidy
- families who are currently raising three or more children or who
undertake to raise at least three children in the future (including the
children they already have) may uniformly receive a one-off in-cash
support of 32.260 Euros when building or buying a new estate.- these families are eligible to a 32.260 Euro (HUF 10 million) reduced residential loan with a State interest-rate subsidy
- Tax allowance for first-wed new couples
The Baby Bond (currently managed by the Hungarian State Treasury) means
that an amount – made up by the new start allowance of 137 Euros
deposited by the state for each new born baby, by an amount optionally
deposited by the parents and by an amount credited annually by the state
each month for the first two payments (10% of their amount, but a
maximum of 19.35 Euros) collected on the Start securities account opened
at the Treasury – is deposited on a bond of a maturity of 19 years.- the Elizabeth Programme of social vacation to ensure that those in need
have opportunities for holidays. Every year, the major target groups
include pensioners, large families, persons with disabilities, and
children.- The government has extended the opportunity for free or subsidised child catering.
- Extension of the free supply of textbooks.
- the government is suspended the repayment of the debt of student loan in
the first trimester of pregnancy for women who are having their first
child, release 50% of the debt of student loan of women with two
children, and for women having three or more children the government
release the whole debt.- The period of degree holder’s child care fee is extended for university students until the child reaches the age of two.
- The debt of families with three children having mortgage loans decrease
by HUF 1 million and by further HUF 1 million if they have more
children; the state will take over this amount from them.- extended the Birth Grant for Hungarian mothers living outside the borders
- Old age pension for women having a 40-year entitlement period without age restriction .
Sorry if I missed anything I just copy/pasted the parts of the article that listed the actual policies.
Just to point out, the Hungarian state has become a second father to tens of thousands of Hungarian children.
The tax reductions obviously I like the most; it doesn’t take a genius to realise that taking less of people’s money leaves them in a better position to raise children.
2 years ago, Hungary was catching all kinds of shit from Merkel and co. for not letting in migrants. After dealing with both Fascism and Communism for much of the last half century, and still recovering from them, they didn’t want to hear anyone’s shit.
Today…Merkel is admitting it was a fuckup, and irreparable damage has been done. Mass deportations are coming.
Meanwhile… Hungary is showing everyone what can be done if you focus on bettering the lives of it’s citizens.
*mind blown*
