The State Duma proposed to reduce the working day for women by an hour

In Russia, an initiative is being discussed to reduce the working day for women by one hour while maintaining wages in order to give them more time for family matters. This was announced on April 14 by State Duma Deputy Igor Antropenko.

"There is a question of increasing demographics, and when will a young girl have time to build a personal life if she spends the whole day at work and then goes home tired," he said in an interview with TASS.

The parliamentarian also stressed that many children's clubs start at 18:00, so mothers do not have time to take their children there. He added that a tired woman is not the best example for children.

The deputy proposed to reduce the working day for women by one hour while maintaining wages. According to him, even for young women without families and children, this extra hour will be useful.

On February 8, psychologist Stanislav Sambursky said that it had become more difficult for Russians to decide to have a child. According to him, young couples are most often afraid of changes, they understand that after the birth of a child "it won't be like before." They will have new responsibilities and responsibilities for a new life.
