Vladimir Putin calls on Russian families to have three children
President Vladimir Putin has urged Russians to have at least three children as he said a resurgent nation should be a confident and influential power on the world stage.
In a bullish state-of-the-nation address in Moscow on Wednesday, Mr Putin promised to smite corruption, create millions of new jobs and boost Russias military might while warning that foreign meddling in the countrys internal affairs was unacceptable.
Also in his speech, Mr Putin lauded recent measures to give cash payments and other benefits to mothers having a second child. Current birth rates show an average of 1.7 children are born to each Russian woman, but the president urged a huge leap in family-building.
New payments for those having a third child would begin next year, he said. Demographers affirm that choosing to have a second child is already a potential choice in favour of a third, he added. Its important that families make that step... I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.
Mr Putin has long equated Russias demographic decline over recent decades with a potential threat to security. On Wednesday, he added: In order for Russia to be a strong and sovereign country, there must be more of us and we must be better in morality, in our competences, our work and our creativity.
