Polish newlyweds paid to procreate
Have a baby and get a check. That's the deal officials in a southern Polish county are offering newlyweds. Couples can get about $570 for having children within two years of their marriage. The leader of the county council is alarmed by what he calls a frightening decline in the birthrate. In the region where the baby bonus is being offered, funerals outnumbered births by 2-1 last year. Officials are also offering couples free use of a hall for their wedding receptions.Posted by: Dar 2004-10-15 |
