Sonja Čikotić: "The bridge covered all mothers, especially the unemployed and with small incomes, which would have grown to 3 991 kuna" Zagreb, 28.

January 2020. – The press conference in the Croatian Parliament, Bridge NL presented its law on maternity and parental support, which helped the families with concrete and realistic proposals. Parliamentary lawmakers, Sonja cikotic and Slaven Dobrovic, stressed that the government's law reached the agenda of the Croatian Parliament in an election year on Thursday to create the illusion of a demographic strategy. " Of the 100 government demographic measures announced in 2018, we got one. I ask the government where the other 99?! In the face of demographic collapse, Croatia lacks even 40 grades this year, we are losing whole families and that is why the bridge in its law covered all mothers, especially the unemployed and those with small incomes that, during the whole first year of the child's life, would have Minimum fee of 3 991 kuna. For mothers who have a higher salary we suggest full wages during the whole first year of the child's life, "said Sonja Čikotić. Dobrovic stressed that Croatia has been missing more than 15000 newborn annually for years to be at zero and therefore the issue of demos should be the main issue. " And what is the response of Croatian politics to this apparent demographic breakdown? Practically nothing, because it is not accessed either strategically or decisively, as if the idea of something can be done is dropped. Systematic measures are not made, and on concrete measures such as maternity fees are decided to save. A particularly interesting measure is the subsidising of housing loans for young people proclaimed by a great demographic solution. Why do they love her so? Because it is fast for realization, there is a good response of citizens, because they love the banks and the construction sector. And the result? Market disruption, significant increase in prices of apartments! The fact is that the increase has eaten much of the subsidies and the measure does not help young people working on occasional and less paid jobs. We believe that it is high time to approach the emergency demographic renewal, which would include a series of related measures – from stimulating maternity-to-housing policy allowances that would provide young people with the certainty of starting a family, "Dobrovic said. Čikotić Other measures of the bridge from the Law on maternity and parental benefits. " So far during the first year of the child's life the minimum fee was 2 328 kuna, and the bridge proposes 3 991 kuna. According to the current law, mothers receive full wages during the first six months of life, and the other six have a fee of 3 991 kuna. The bridge for mothers and fathers who have a higher salary suggests full wages during the first year of the child's life, and mothers and fathers who have three and more children, or twins, after the first year of the child, can return to work and use a monthly fee of 2 328 kuna with their salary. In addition, grandparents can use parental leave, parental rights, or parental child care instead of parents. Today, the high demands of women in the labour market and according to the Ombudsman report, motherhood is the biggest obstacle, so the bridge took all this into account, "Cikotic said."
