The Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Affairs of Pensioners, Veterans and Disabled Persons recommends that the parliament support the draft law on amendments to the Law "On Pension Provision" (regarding granting one of the spouses who raises five or more children the right to an old-age pension on preferential terms). As reported by the Information Department of the Apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the legislative proposal provides for establishing by the norms of the Law "On Pension Provision" equal rights for mothers and fathers (and not only women) who raise five or more children to receive a preferential pension, as well as extending this right to all categories of citizens (and not only to women working in agriculture, as provided for by the corresponding Law). This draft, the Committee members noted, was developed with the aim of developing the family in Ukraine and assisting one of the spouses of large families who raise five or more children in having the opportunity to devote all their time to raising children. In addition, the task of the draft is to improve the demographic situation in Ukraine, since upon the birth of five or more children, one of the spouses is guaranteed to receive an old-age pension on preferential terms.
