2000 Euros for each newborn baby in Greece

The aid is conditional on the mother residing legally and legally in Greece

 

 

The Greek Parliament, by a large majority, adopted legislative changes last night, granting a lump sum of 2000 euros for every child born in Greece after January 1 this year, ANA-MPA reported.

This provision was adopted by the votes of all parliamentary groups except MePA25, which abstained.

The condition for granting the aid is that the mother resides legally and legally in Greece, the Ethnos newspaper states.

The newly adopted law also changes the criteria for granting three basic social allowances - for a child, for a home, and for mountainous and disadvantaged areas.

With the changes, immigrants living legally in Greece will need 12 years of tax registration to receive child and rent allowances. So far this period has been 5 years. As an additional criterion for the allowances, in addition to the income allowance, mandatory school attendance by minor children in the family is introduced.

The new birth support is in the context of both the social measures and the measures taken by the Greek government to tackle the country's demographic crisis.

Greece has an aging po[CENSORED]tion like most countries in Europe, but the demographic picture has become particularly unfavorable since the onset of the economic crisis, which on the one hand reduced the average number of children giving birth to a woman in Greece and, on the other, over half a million Greeks, mostly young people , went abroad in search of work and a more secure life.

Since 2011, the country has had a negative growth rate, and in 2017 births were about 88,000, while deaths were over 124,000.
