The long lines are over! Parents will be able to issue all the necessary documents for a newborn child in maternity hospitals. This includes the project of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Government "Baby, welcome to the world", which will be implemented in maternity hospitals Serbia.

As it was said in the Ministry, the project will be applied in 76 state maternity hospitals, private clinics are also invited to join this process.

- Citizens of Serbia since 2016 no longer have to knock on the thresholds of numerous institutions in order, for example, to register a child or obtain another document. Soon it will be possible to do all this in one place - in the maternity hospital itself. On one form, which will be issued at the maternity hospital, you will need to write the name and surname of the child, place of residence, and the state body will do the rest for them. Then the finished document will be sent to the home address, - said Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Kori Udovicki during a visit to the Faculty of Organizational Sciences in Belgrade.

The number of documents that parents must prepare for a child ranges from 20 to 50, depending on whether they are entitled to any social benefits.

“The idea of ​​the project is that when a mother gives birth to a child, she immediately receives one form in the hospital, which is common to all institutions that she had to bypass before, so that the newborn child has the necessary documents. Now she will be able to give the child a name in one place, determine the address of residence, citizenship, everything that up to this point had to be done in the registry offices, in local departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the health insurance fund. Completed documents such as a medical book, birth certificate and residence registration will all be sent to the parent's postal address, explained Svetlana Jovanovic, Member working group as part of the "Baby, welcome to the world" project.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government reported that significant assistance in the implementation of the project was provided by other ministries and institutions, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labor, the Central Register of the Insured, the Republican Health Insurance Fund, the Republican Institute of Statistics, and the post office.

“This project to improve services to our citizens is the result of the collaborative work and enthusiasm of many ministries. Our team also received a lot of help from the team of the Prime Minister’s office, especially from the Delivery Unit,” said Tatyana Tatych, adviser to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Kori Udowiczka, in an interview with Žena.rs.

The document must be translated into Russian by a court translator. The accuracy of the translation must be notarized in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation - by a notary in Russia or at the consular department of the Embassy on the day of application.

b) documents proving the identity of the parents (foreign and internal passports);

c) a document that is the basis for entering information about the father in the record of the birth of the child (certificate of marriage between the parents; joint statement of the parents of the child on the establishment of paternity, if paternity is established and registered simultaneously with the state registration of the birth of the child; statement of the mother who is not a married, if paternity of the child is not established);

2. Birth certificate of the child (issued at the consular department after birth registration);

3. Application for registration of citizenship for a child, filled out through the website of the embassy (section "consular department" - "citizenship" - "Citizenship of the Russian Federation by birth on the basis of Article 12, part 1, paragraph "a" - both parents or a single parent - citizens of the Russian Federation");

Each new day brings its own changes, many events take place, some of which we may not always be ready for. A new day means new joys, resentments, stresses, new acquaintances and communication with many people. The pace of life has now changed a lot and has become much faster.

In order to always remain strong and be able to withstand all the possible difficulties that occur in life, it is necessary that close and dear people are always nearby.

It is necessary that there is someone nearby who can lend a shoulder and lend a helping hand, support and share the joy. In this case, only the family can become exactly that helping hand and support that no person can do without.

In Serbia, they understand perfectly how important it is to always have relatives and close people nearby. In this country, people had to go through a lot, and therefore, from the very childhood, children are brought up with love, warmth and understanding of how important it is that loved ones are always together, and mutual understanding reigns in the family.

A Serbian family usually does not have more than two or three children, and the first child in the family appears quite early. However, it is desirable that the family is already financially well-off when a child appears in the family. In Serbia, the upbringing of children is started already when the child is still in the mother's stomach.

It is believed that at this time the child can already perceive everything that is said to him. Expectant mothers begin to talk to their babies, tell them stories and sing songs. Serbia is very beautiful songs and the Serbs themselves sing a lot, so the child should know and hear the beauty of national songs even before his birth.

The birth of a child is a holiday in any family, and in Serbia it is a celebration to which relatives, friends, relatives are invited, all this is accompanied by rituals. No less magnificently celebrated are the first birthday of the baby, his first tooth and first step, as well as christening.

In some villages, the use of rituals for each of these events is still preserved, but in cities, in most cases, it is simply customary to celebrate all these events at the table with friends and relatives and give gifts to the child.

Almost all Serbian women breastfeed their children until they are one year old. However, in the past, children were usually not weaned even before the age of five, especially if the child was sick or suffered from weak immunity.

For Serbs, the birth of a boy is preferable to a girl, who is perceived as a stranger. Boys are the successors of the family, fathers can be proud that their family will not die and that the son will continue the male line. Boys, even after birth, are dressed in their father's shirt.

Serbs have a slightly different approach to raising children than other nations. Children do not feel parental strictness, they are more free and can do whatever they want. For children, there is almost no such thing as a daily routine, when you need to get up or go to bed at a certain time, eat food or go for a walk. The reason for this upbringing is the Serbian women themselves, who have a very soft and calm character.

Mothers in Serbia cannot stay with a baby for very long, because parental leave lasts only a year. It is possible to extend it to three years, but the next two years are not paid by the state, unless the employer wants to provide payment for parental leave. However, most women go to work after a year.

Grandparents in this case become nannies until the child reaches the age when it can be sent to kindergarten. Already in kindergarten, the child begins to receive education, and much attention is paid primarily to music, drawing and foreign languages.

All children learn English, starting from kindergarten, and even the parents themselves can start to give some knowledge foreign languages to my children. Further, the baton is already taken by the school, where they already receive a deeper knowledge of a foreign language, as well as higher educational institutions.

Quite often, Serbs leave their country and go abroad to work, in these cases, knowledge of foreign languages ​​helps a lot. Many parents also try to send their children abroad, at least for a short time, so that they can quickly get used to and get more practice in a foreign language.

Parting with parents, although not for a long time, is a test for children and for the parents themselves, but this helps children quickly get used to a foreign environment, which will be very useful in the future, when they often have to travel to other countries for work.

If a Serbian family goes abroad to work and stays there permanently, then relatives try to visit as often as possible in order not to lose family and family ties. The whole family also gathers for family holidays, such as weddings, christenings, and the birth of children.

Christening is one of the most solemn holidays in Serbia. Godparents are chosen from neighbors or friends, but not relatives. It may even be godparents child.

There is such a sign that the child will do the same in his life as his godfather, and therefore the godfather is chosen very carefully. It must be a respected person who has a prestigious job and a good profession. Godparents become members of the family and very often can come to visit their godson and give him gifts.

Children in Serbia live with their parents until they can start living independently and become financially independent. The daughter leaves the parental home when she gets married.

However, even after children have families and children of their own, they continue to listen to what adults tell them. Parents are always ready to help and support their children, even if they are already fully on their feet and can live independently.

Both monthly allowances will be provided to families whose average per capita income does not exceed one and a half subsistence minimums in the region, and will be assigned for one year, then it will be necessary to submit a new application to extend payments until the child reaches one and a half years.

“It is important to note that the income of citizens to be assessed includes only current cash income, which is assessed for the previous year, divided by 12 months, in order to obtain an average monthly income. At the same time, we did not provide for accounting for any payments or any income from deposits in banks, from renting out property, that is, only current income, in the bill, ”said Maxim Topilin, Minister of Labor and Social Protection, presenting the bills at the plenary session.

To extend the mother capital program to the budget pension fund about 105 billion rubles will be sent, the minister pointed out. “Funds in the amount of 37 billion and 68 billion rubles. [for 2019 and 2020] are provided for in the federal budget and will be sent to the budget of the Pension Fund in the form of a standard scheme of interbudgetary transfers,” Topilin added.

The new payments will be financed from the reserve funds of the government and the president, already included in the budget for 2018-2020, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told journalists earlier. “Changes to the draft federal budget for 2018-2020 due to the need to fulfill the instructions of the president in the field of demography will not be required,” he said.

The effect of demographic measures

New measures of demographic policy in conjunction with bringing the minimum wage to the level living wage ensure the reduction of poverty and support economic growth, as they will further stimulate consumer demand and ensure the growth of the involvement of young mothers in the labor market, Ministry of Economic Development.​

Benefits in the amount of 10 thousand rubles. for the birth of the first child will not radically increase the birth rate, says the head of the Center for Social Demography and Economic Sociology of the Institute of Socio-Political Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Ryazantsev. “Firstly, this amount is small. Secondly, not all people will respond to this measure, so the measure of a radical change in the wage system is still more effective. Without this, we will not advance further in demographic policy. When introduced maternal capital, it affected the increase in second, third and subsequent births. This measure was overdue for a very long time, and the mass of the population that postponed the birth reacted. But it was such a cumulative effect. Now such a measure will not give a similar effect, ”he said.

Stimulus payments affect the birth rate for a short time, because they get used to them and they cease to be an incentive, Valery Elizarov, scientific director of the Center for the Study of Population Problems at the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, told RBC. “Such payments help those families who planned the birth of a child, but put it off. The main thing that these measures can do is to slow down the decline in the birth rate. In this sense, the birth rate is slightly increasing, but there will be no fundamental changes,” the expert said.

According to him, measures to support families with children from one and a half to three years old would be more practical. “In addition, I expected measures to support working parents, working women. You can increase the share of payments during the period of [maternity] leave to 50% [of average earnings], now it is 40%. Today, the level of family support is lower than it was in the mid-1990s,” concluded Valery Elizarov.

In all developed countries of the world, the state helps parents raise their children by providing certain benefits or material benefits. It should be noted that in different countries understand the need for state support in different ways: in some countries, state support can count, first of all, single parents, in others - large families, and in the third - families with low incomes.

Let's consider what childbirth benefits families in different countries are entitled to. To do this, study the following table.

Table of child benefits in different countries of the world

Other types of child benefits

As you can see, the amount of child benefits in most cases depends on the number of children in the family, as well as on their age. In addition to benefits for the birth of a child (children), as a rule, other types of child benefits are also paid.

In the UK, they pay a guardianship or guardianship allowance and allowances for children with disabilities.
