According to Metro and other foreign media, Putin stressed the importance of dealing with population decline, saying that "preservation of the Russian people is our top priority policy."
Then "Russia's fate depends on how many people we have. This is a nationally important task."
Health Minister Yevgeny Shestopalov also actively agreed with President Putin's opinion.
"There are many companies that work 12 hours a day, so can you get pregnant?In response to a reporter's question, "It's not a good reason to be very busy at work, but a poor excuse" You can have sex even during breaks. Because life goes by so fast," he added.
Russia is currently facing a demographic crisis due to its ongoing war with Ukraine and a historically low birth rate of 1.5 per woman. Therefore, even with the extreme example of the Russian government, pregnancy is 'turried'.
In addition, the Russian government has introduced various policies to encourage pregnancy and childbirth.
Women between the ages of 18 and 40 in Moscow are being encouraged to take a free fertility test to evaluate the 'pregnancy possibility'.
In one area, women under the age of 24 pay about 1.05 million rubles (about 15 million won) when they give birth to their first child. In some cases, the cost of divorce proceedings is raised.
In addition, one congressman argues that employers should pay attention to the pregnancy of female employees, such as monitoring by team.
Another politician said "Women should start giving birth at a young age"If you are pregnant from the age of 19 to 20, you can have more than three children."
Meanwhile, it is predicted that Russia's population will decline from 144 million at present to less than 130 million by 2050.
