In April 2016, the program "Family 500 plus" began. Then each parent received PLN 500 for the second child. present parents get 800 PLN for all child, regardless of their earnings. All to increase fertility in Poland. However, experts have been admitting for years that the programme did not bring the expected benefits. Just check current statistic - more people die than they are born. According to statistic published on populationof.net, "the average number of births in Poland is 295 595 per year, the number of deaths is 419 270 per year. Since 1980, Poland's population density has changed from 116.1 to 122.9 in 2023". So it is hard to wonder that this is simply a subject frequently addressed by politicians. Independent candidate for president and economist from the School of Economics - Dr. Artur Bartoszewicz, shocked many people with his imagination of change.

"Demographic stipend" but 800 plus
Bartoszewicz in an interview given to "Fact" had the thought to introduce a peculiar scholarship that would go to multi-children families.
Pay money from the third, 4th kid in the family. due to the fact that if individual already has children, it's more likely to increase their number than if they don't have children or have only 1 child. due to the fact that the model of 1 kid is simply a modern model of taking care of your own free time. A second and 3rd kid will no longer be in specified a family...
- said the presidential candidate. In turn, where there are two, three, people are directed to work with children. So adding another kid to them is "to swallow" - he added. Bartoszewicz proposed that for the 3rd and 4th children pay the "demographic stipend" in the amount of PLN 1250 and for subsequent children - PLN 1500. In his view, however, certain rules must be introduced. This money would only go to those families where at least 1 parent works.

It's not the only offer from an economist due to the fact that he wants to give away... cars. - Why don't people want kids present and household 2 plus 2 is maximum? due to the fact that even the tables in the restaurant are so set 2 plus 2. due to the fact that if you go to a hotel with 1 kid, it's okay. There's a problem with 2 already, with 3 you gotta take a fresh room, and that costs money. due to the fact that cars are 2 plus 2 (...) With five-six children, I think I would fund buses as a state to remove the communication problem from these families – he told "Fact" Bartoszewicz.
Parents Indignant: An thought That Can’t truly Change Parents ’ Life
We asked our parents how they felt about the presidential candidate's proposal. Most of them are rather critical of her and do not think that further financial support for parents is needed.
I believe that in order to make changes to social programmes, a real and deeper diagnosis of the expectations of the mark group must be made first. So what if we introduce another "plus" present if they don't respond to social needs?
- says Catherine and adds what she thinks is worth improving. "In order to encourage citizens to start families, we request to look at the disastrous situation in the real property market. fewer people present can afford a property without credit, and they can afford to rent a place more and more hard - she added. She besides pointed out that the bus thought had not been considered. "Communication exclusion is simply a real problem, especially in smaller towns. But what about parents who do not have a license? What do they get in return? More questions than answers, she concluded.
Ula did not bite her tongue and admitted that specified proposals were typical promises without covering, which before the election "there is always a full lot." - Another curiosity thought that doesn't truly change the lives of parents. I realize that this is an attractive "electoral sausage", but it might be more reasonable to consider this effort to aid in taxation relief for multi-children families. The only thing I like about it is that at least 1 of the parents has to work professionally," she said.
Magda admitted that she was annoyed by political promises that are usually not thought out. The most crucial thing is to say something, to promise. Does that make sense? Is that possible? Will it have the desired effect? This is simply a secondary matter. I think that we have all had the chance to learn about specified actions in politics many times. I don't think that 500 plus, 800 plus, or even 1500 plus has any effect on whether or not individual decides on a child. alternatively of spending money, I think that there should be free schools with many free extra activities, free meals for all children, free school trips, medicines, access to doctors, etc. 800 PLN already introduced a fewer years ago, what effect? Not as expected, she summarized.
What do you think of the thought of an independent presidential candidate? Is "demographic stipend" and bus for multi-children's families a good idea? Or do you think it's "unnecessary publishing," as 1 parent said? We'd love to know your opinion. Write: [email protected]. I warrant anonymity. I besides encourage you to participate in the probe!
