Sergei Mironov, head of the 'Fair Russia' party
Sergei Mironov, head of the 'Fair Russia' party, proposed in a letter to Russian Minister of Labor Anton Kotyakov that non-working parents receive monthly payments equal to the subsistence minimum while caring for children. The initiative was inspired by a law in Kirov Oblast providing financial support to grandparents and other relatives raising young children.
Consensus
- Sergei Mironov, head of 'Fair Russia', sent a letter to Minister of Labor Anton Kotyakov proposing monthly payments for non-working parents caring for children.
- The proposal aims to support parents who stay home with their children without financial risk to the family.
- The idea was inspired by a law in Kirov Oblast that provides financial assistance to grandparents and other relatives raising children under three years old.
- This regional measure is informally called 'grandmother's salary'.
- The payment amount in Kirov Oblast depends on the mother's age: up to 45,794 rubles if she is younger than 25, or up to 38,203 rubles if she is 25 or older.
- Mironov emphasized that such support should be extended beyond firstborn children and applied to any parent.
Points of divergence
- The proposal includes giving fathers the right to a paid leave of 14 days within the first three months after a child's birth or adoption, as part of the same initiative. — m24
- Igor Balynin, associate professor at the Financial University under the Government of Russia, mentioned that families can receive compensation for school uniforms under a presidential decree on social support for large families. — vm
