national Development Council was made on Wednesday, the results of the first year work program “Family 500+”.

- we Discussed two main effects of the program. The first material and the second, demographic, he said Wednesday during a press conference, President Andrzej Duda. And he: – it is another tools that will be the case for servers 500+.

- the need for constant monitoring of the impact of the program. But the extraction of premature conclusions leading to incorrect assessment, – explained the Minister of family and work, Elizabeth Rafalsky. – One thing is clear: research-based mikrosymulacyjnych we already know that extreme poverty in our country fell by 48%. A shame for the country is poverty especially children and teenagers, and it was reduced by 98 percent. Therefore, we can say that there was virtually eliminated.

1 thousand the decision to marnotrawieniu funds from 500+

Minister Rafalsky treated the problem loss benefits program “Family 500+”:

is still in the country spent about. 1 thousand the decision about loss of benefits. In the context of the 3 million children that these funds come from, is the limit – explained Rafalsky.

And – yet – over confidence.

If we are talking about the demographic aspect, there is little else known. However, in November, was born on 5 thousand. children more than in the same month a year earlier, while overall in 2016 – more than 16 thousand, it is difficult, however, to argue that the effect of the program or during a population explosion which will soon be over.

in the Same way and with the action 500+ on labor market: one of the arguments of opponents of the program, that is dezaktywizacja professional women have not yet seen GUS in filing unemployment Luggage, neither in the research of LFS.

it is Known that in 2017, despite the increase in the minimum wage from 1850 to 2 million. rubles, will not change a profitable criterion for the granting of allowances for the first child. As the Minister said Rafalsky, this decision is the result of a “financial calculation”.

Rafalsky: Program 500+ brand niezagrożony

Rafalsky reacted to the development of municipalities 500+ for the first child gets up to 90 percent. families. To get no money income per person in the family may not exceed 800 rubles or 1.2 thousand rubles in the case of a disabled child. There was speculation that some municipalities with a high load factor 500+ can reach up to fraud.

Is often a rural commune in which they live are mostly families with many children. We monitor that and we expect that this may be due to the high level of poverty in the region, but can also be the result of the shadow economy. But remember that in Poland we have 2 thousand municipalities, and that a higher percentage of profit we have a total of 34.

In 2016 since the start of the program in April and to the end of the year, the “Family 500+” has been allocated a total of 17 billion roubles. This year, the government had maintained for this purpose 23 billion 167 thousand. RUB – the Program is absolutely niezagrożony said Rafalsky. – The law obliges us to submit the digest to 30 Mar. Already preparing such a document, and I hope that he will be generates lively discussions.
