Winter is coming, but the weather is still cold in Romania. At the First Civil Hospital in Galati, Butovino is working hard to carry bricks. The sweat on his forehead tells the story of his efforts, and the trembling legs tell the story of his body.
All tired.
At this time, the whistle for the break sounded. Butovino put down his work and slumped down on the bricks, completely ignoring the impurities and dust on them. There was only one thought in Butovino's mind. No wonder he could earn 8 lei a day.
The high salary is really tiring.
Butovino can get such a high salary now, thanks to the Romanian government. The prosperous economy has allowed Romania's industry to develop greatly, and many recruitment information are posted on the job market every day. Most Romanian people are engaged in factories and services.
Construction workers with heavy manual labor are not very popular. Now construction is happening everywhere in Romania, and the result of the imbalance between supply and demand is to push up the cost of construction workers.
This situation could have been alleviated by the influx of war refugees into Romania, but the government's ban cut off this possibility. This is also the government's purpose to allow more Romanian people to enjoy the fruits of economic prosperity. Therefore, wages at construction sites
The increase is relatively large. This alleviates the problem of labor difficulties on construction sites to a certain extent, but at the cost of increasing their costs and making construction more expensive.
When Butovino was resting, he thought about his wife and children at home, which relieved his fatigue to a certain extent. Now he needs to finish today's work before he can get his wages, and his wife and children at home are still waiting for him.
In fact, the Romanian government has noticed changes in the birth rate in recent years. In 1905, when Romania's industrialization began, its infant birth rate was 3.83%, its mortality rate was 2.47%, and its natural growth rate was 1.36%. Its natural growth rate was the lowest in Europe.
It can only be regarded as average. The only thing that stands out is the high birth rate and high death rate.
Then Romania began its industrialization process, and its infant birth rate continued to rise with the industrialization process, from 3.83% in 1905 to 4.21% in 1910. Due to insufficient investment in medical facilities at the time, the mortality rate only dropped from 2.47% to
2.38%. Don’t underestimate this increase or decrease. This is also the result of Romania’s annual investment of tens of millions of lei.
And in this year, Romania's infant birth rate became the second-highest growing country after Russia. However, compared with Russia's mortality rate of 3.15%, Romania was much better. Therefore, in this year, Romania's natural growth rate was as high as 1.83%.
rate, arrogant to other European countries. Subsequently, Romania’s natural growth rate has been hovering between 1.91% and 1.78%.
There are changes brought about by personal concepts. In those years, the economic development was good, and many people began to think about sex after eating. There was also the promotion of the government behind the scenes. Through newspapers and other media, the idea of families with many children was widely publicized.
Benefits, through religion, it is announced to the world that the Lord loves every baby born. Moreover, the behavior of abortion is strongly condemned in the media and religions, forming a social concept that it is good to have more children. Therefore, the growth rate of newborn babies has always been high.
No less.
However, in the past two years, the number of newborn babies in Romania has once again reached a new high. This is due to the explosive growth of the Romanian economy in the past two years. Its growth rate of about 25% has brought not only economic growth, but also
The rapid development of society. The birth rate has reached 5.12% in the past two years, the death rate has also been reduced to 1.87%, and its natural growth rate has reached 3.25%. If this growth rate is guaranteed, the Romanian population can grow rapidly.
However, this abnormal growth has also attracted the attention of many sociologists, and many people are delighted with this growth rate. Now there is no worry about the endurance of the earth in future generations. For this great integrity, European countries now
They are all dismissive. They focus on the national strength of each country, of which population is an important indicator (otherwise they would not be surprised by the more than 400 million Chinese at that time), so all countries are encouraging childbirth.
Even some "conscience" sociologists with a later perspective believe that population growth cannot be too high. It will not be accepted by all sectors of society. The mainstream view in various countries now is that a perfect family needs to have multiple children, and the multiple here is
2 or more.
So when this statistical table of population growth was placed in front of Edel, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "It is better to have evil capitalism."
However, high growth also brings some problems. For example, the price of food and supplies for infants and young children in Romania is rising rapidly, which has brought additional economic pressure to many families. In addition, the future involves the education and future work of these children.
These are all problems that need to be solved by government departments. However, these problems are insignificant in the face of future demographic dividend.
As for the problem of possible overpopulation in Romania in the future, Eder has already made plans. He wants to use Romania's sword to provide enough living space for the Romanian people. As for this sword, it is still being tempered, but it will soon be available.
Let the world be surprised.
But the first thing that needs to be resolved now is that the burden on the families of the newborn babies must be reduced. To this end, he once again summoned Prime Minister Bretianu.
"I have met His Majesty."
After Prime Minister Bretianu saluted, he looked at his king with a vigilant face. Eder was troubled by the Prime Minister's vigilance towards him. It has been almost a quarter, and the Prime Minister is still aggrieved that he forced him to accept the militia fee.
Yu Huai, even if he commended him with the Royal Medal.
However, the next war concerns Romania's future young adults, so Edel decided to speak up and explain his intentions first.
"The purpose of summoning the Prime Minister this time is to deal with the recent baby boom issue."
"Baby boomer?"
Prime Minister Bretianu did not react at all to the new term in the king's mouth.
"It is in the past two years that Romanian babies have been pouring out like a flood."
Faced with Edel's explanation, Bulusjanu sensed this and asked tentatively. "Your Majesty, do you want to reduce the current family's burden of raising babies?"
"That's right, I have this plan."
Edel secretly praised the Prime Minister for his ability to quickly understand his own thinking. "Does your government department have any plans for this?"
Prime Minister Bretianu quickly recalled the suggestions submitted by government departments and said, "Our government believes that in order to reduce the burden on these families, we need to start from two aspects. Among them, reduce the price of baby products on the market.
Prices should return to normal prices. This requires government departments to guide more companies to pay attention to the baby products market, and this requires more media reports so that companies can pay enough attention to this market."
"this is not bad."
Edel praised.
Seeing Eder's approval, Prime Minister Bretianu went on to say another aspect. "We can also provide subsidies to families with multiple children. The subsidy standard can be based on 60% of the basic annual cost of a baby.
Provide subsidies to families. However, subsidies can only be provided to families with three or more children. This will also bring Romania’s birth rate to a higher level.”
"So how many years will the government provide subsidies to these families?"
Eder asked about the topic he cared about most, which would defeat his original purpose if the Romanian economy was overwhelmed.
Prime Minister Bretianu stated the government's plan. "Currently our government believes that three to four years is a reasonable number, which can ensure that the baby survives the early dangerous period. The annual cost will not exceed 30 million lei, it is estimated that
It can also allow population growth to be a little higher.”
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Eder nodded. He suddenly thought of an institution that would be used in later generations to take care of two-parent working-class families, and Romania might also use it. "What do you think if the government sets up a public welfare institution that exempts parents from taking care of their children?"
Eder's proposal made the Prime Minister think for a moment. "Is this a good idea, maybe to relieve parents of the time and energy required to take care of their children, like in schools?"
"Yes, but it's not about teaching them to study, it's just about letting them have fun and play."
Edel continued to tell the information that later generations knew.
"Your Majesty, this method is feasible."
"Then your government will implement that plan."
A few days after Edel discussed with the Prime Minister, Romanian newspapers began to report extensively on the current problem of excessively high prices for baby products. This made many people’s eyes light up and planned to invest some money to try this market. This made the previous high-earning
Manufacturers with huge profits had to lower their prices to cope with the first competitors. In the following months, the market prices of Romanian baby products dropped significantly.
At the same time, the government has promulgated the latest bill to encourage childbirth. In the new bill, Romanian families with three or more children can apply for a family allowance, but this only applies to children under four years old.
.The bill also stipulates that each family can only receive one family benefit, and each family benefit is 300 lei.
The new bill gives Butovino a sigh of relief. Although it is not too much, it can relieve his pressure. This bill also gives relief to many families who have become a burden because of too many children. In the bill
In the first year of issuance, nearly 80,000 families applied for the subsidy. Moreover, the birth rate in Romania increased to a certain extent after the bill was issued. According to government estimates, the number of families receiving family subsidy after five years can reach
150,000, which will represent a world where many young people will come because of this bill in the future.
At the same time, government-run kindergartens appeared in various cities in Romania, specializing in taking care of children over 2 years old and under 6 years old. This also brought great joy to two-worker families who were distressed by taking care of children. Soon, various kindergartens were filled with children of all kinds.
Family of children.
