Lukashenko seeks new avenues to support large families and other households

Lukashenko has announced that the nation will explore new avenues of support for large families and other households, extending beyond the realm of housing alone

Belarus’s leader, Alexander Lukashenko, has proclaimed that the country will contemplate new measures to support large families and other households—support that transcends mere shelter. During a working visit to the Lyuban District, he expressed this conviction, as conveyed by BELTA.

He lamented the declining desire for children among young women, stating, “They no longer wish to bear children. We shall now seek fresh ways to assist large and other families—not just through housing. Though once I believed that constructing homes would inspire them to start families, that hope has faded. They do not require mere dwellings or such things.”

He continued with a poignant observation about the aging male population: “Not everyone is reluctant—there remain noble women who choose to bring children into the world. But the men… you see, they have worn themselves thin. The generation of men that follows ours has vanished. We are merely searching for the seeds of a new dawn,” Lukashenko said.
