The debate was organized by the Office for Dialogue and Social initiatives at the Office of the President.
“Family policy is one of the biggest challenges faced at all before Polish policy “- said the minister in the office of the president Wojciech Cycling. He added that now – after the adoption of the law introducing the program Family 500 plus – Poland is in a different reality. “Rubicon in Polish family policy has been exceeded” – rated.
Deputy Minister Bartosz Marczuk family said that the government already thinking about the next steps they will take. Announced a review of the system of financial support for families. “First of all we would like to focus on the issues of how this bill will affect the labor market, what will be the behavior of families that receive this money,” – he said. He added that the review should help in determining what adjustments to the program to enter. He appealed to organizations dealing with family-friendly policies for comment.
He added that there are plans to create a comprehensive program demographic; It is inscribed in the so-called. Morawiecki plan. Marchuk explained that work on it will be launched “shortly after the deal with the 500 plus program” and will be widely consulted.
the debate was wondered what action to take to Poland born more children. One of the participants suggested Paul Grela propaganda, appeal to the conservative circles that were born with them even for one more child.
“I am a mother of seven children. I would no child was born, if someone appeal issued. give birth to children because they loved her husband and because they liked children, and my husband was behind us responsible” – he answered him Joanna Krupska, president of the Association of Large Families “Three Plus”.
The second proposal, which introduced Grela, it enabling a reduction in the retirement age for women for each child.
Robert Gwiazdowski, expert of the Center. Adam Smith said that to solve the demographic problem, you need to not only create a program stimulating fertility, and family plus 500, but systemic change model of public finance, starting with pensions. He argued for the idea of civic pensions, which is equal for all and a pension relief for women – mothers. “If we assumed that everyone is entitled to a pension upon reaching the age specified in the law, and it would be a pension equal for all, we could establish the principle that every woman for the birth of one child is entitled to this pension, for example. 1.5 years earlier “- he explained.
According Gwiazdowski most women have provided good material conditions, would not want to work and be at home. He did not agree with the Deputy Minister of the family; It showed that more than half of Polish women have higher education and aspirations to ensure that the labor market exist. “We must do everything to give people a choice,” – he said and added that this is what allows the program Family 500 plus.
in his opinion, it is worth while to build a good atmosphere for the family, affirm family life, fertility, eg. in a television series or a filmikach on social networks.
Referring to the proposed changes in the pension system for mothers, Marchuk said that – in his opinion – more important than lowering the retirement age would be raising the retirement benefit for the birth of a child. As he explained, it would be both an incentive to have children and work.
Senator Antoni Szymański pointed out, that social policy is too many solutions that support single parent and you have to change it. As he said it, among others, about the possibility of accounting for income taxes parents separated or divorced together with the child, and priority access to nurseries and kindergartens. He appealed not to promote solutions for single parents, and put the stability of the marriage, because they also provide more children.
Krupskaya pointed out that nowadays women choose very differently and have different approaches to family and work. He referred to the study of the global Movement of Mothers, which show that 11 per cent. even women with small children, would like to work, 25 percent. – Stay at home, 64 percent. – To combine work with work at home. “This situation is complex and a modern family policy should respond to a variety of choices. Therefore, the program Family 500 plus is a good option – allows women to choose” – Krupskaya added.
