Bulgaria Seeks More Babies Amid Labor Shortage
Sofia reports Bulgaria aims to boost births to counter a shrinking population. Initial incentives include 50 leva at birth for a family with three children, monthly allowances totaling 49 leva, and the largest third child allowance of 21 leva, along with cheaper children’s clothing, restricted abortion, expanded nurseries, extended paid maternity leave, and housing shortages slowing births. Authorities consider guest labor but face payment, language, and training hurdles.
