Greece announces 1.6bn relief package to tackle population decline

The prime minister said the 1.6bn (1.4bn) relief package had been dictated by one of the biggest challenges facing the Mediterranean nation : a demographic crisis of unprecedented scale. We know that the cost of living is one thing if you don't have a child and another if you have two or three children, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday after announcing the policies. So, as a state we should find a way to reward our citizens who make the choice [of having children].
