Regarding the “Renace Chile” plan, proposed by the candidate José Antonio Kast (Republican Party), the Minister of women and Gender Equity, Antonia Orellanaaddressed the low birth rate in Chile.
Recall that the proposed letter proposal contemplates – among others – to deliver a $ 1 million bonus for the mother of the newborn, and another for the savings of the child.
On that, in conversation with Radio Duna, the Secretary of State valued that the debate for low birth rate “is an issue in all candidacies.” In his opinion, this problem responds to “a combination of issues.”
“Everyone points out to be in favor of greater birth,” said Minister Orellana. Even so, in his opinion, it is not answered “when we go on to talk about concrete measures “.
As for José Antonio Kast’s proposal, the Government Authority said that the low birth rate is related to various factors. “The impact on the economic life of a child’s families is fed up more than that.”
“Beyond a Twitter survey (…) the main reason for low birth rate is related to the tension between motherhood and labor responsibilities. 21% of respondents believe that Chilean society does not support women. And that is more than resources,” Orellana said regarding the Bicentennial National Survey UC 2024.
“Women, all, not only those who have children, pay with our contracting rate the birth rate. Because 19 women are hired not to have to pay the obligation of the Cun labor towards women, ”he closed.
