461 Encourage Fertility

Early in the morning, the sun plated the ground with gold, and the humid air was mixed with a bit of sweetness. The big yellow trees began to pull out new teeth, telling the coming of spring.

Today is another good weather, after using a simple breakfast.Opening a colonial development report, Franz began a day's work.

Under normal circumstances, he will not care about these details, but this time it is a little special.A large satellite was placed in the New Brook area last year, which attracted the attention of the Vienna government.

The birth rate of the New Brook area has exceeded 5.1% for three consecutive years. With the exception of teddy bears, several major European countries are not comparable.

As an immigration area, the population suitable for childbearing is the majority, and a high birth rate is normal.But keeping this record for three consecutive years has attracted Franz's attention.

This era is the era of the European population explosion, and the birth rates of all countries are very high.

The Russian natural European champion, based on the collected data, the Austrian Population Agency made the judgment that the lowest record of the bear ’s fertility rate in the last decade is 4.92%, the highest record is 5.39%, and most of the time exceeded 5.1% .

Well, this data is incomparable.The birth rate of fur bears is high, that is because their mortality rate is also high.

In this era, the normal mortality rate of the Russian population is generally about 3.6%, and occasionally more than 4.0%, also the European champion.

If according to the birth rate of ordinary countries, the Russian Empire would be long gone.

From the overall situation in Europe, Austria's performance is also good, with a birth rate of about 4.1%, only the Russians.

Depending on the specific birth rate, you will find that the birth rate in Central Europe is low, and some areas have fallen to 3.6%; the birth rate in Southern Europe is high, and it can reach 4.5% in some areas.

The more developed the region, the lower the birth rate. This has become the biggest problem facing Franz. If you do not change this situation, you will know by referring to France next door.

As the most open country in Europe, France's population birth rate is generally around 2.6%, and the mortality rate is also hovering around 2.3%, maintaining a very weak growth rate.

If placed in later generations, the birth rate of this population, it is estimated that the French are going to be crazy.It is a pity that this era is not at all conspicuous. This is an era when everyone is making great efforts to create people.

Faced with the high mortality rate, whoever dares to play with infertility, just wait for genocide!

Franz has accepted the fact that the birth rate is not as good as that of the Russians. Due to the advantages in medical technology, the population growth rate has finally leveled with the Russians.

Franz has also issued a lot of documents to encourage childbirth, but with little success.The birth rate in most colonies is not high, coupled with high mortality rates, the population growth rate has been very low.

The birth rate of the population in the New Brook area has exploded, and Franz must naturally pay attention.This is a big plan related to the future. If it can be promoted, it will make a big profit.

This report was not reported by the colonial officials themselves, but was obtained by Franz personally sending the investigation team.

The reason is naturally very simple. What if someone falsifies the data?

Africa is not South Ocean and America, and it is impossible to be a mixed race.It's really possible to confuse a bunch of mixed races in those areas. As long as the characteristics are not too obvious, it is difficult to distinguish them at a glance.

With the bureaucratic ethics, it is normal to falsify for political achievements.Therefore, the birth rate of the population in Nanyang and Central America has always been high. As long as it is not too excessive, the Vienna government will not pursue it, and Africa has no conditions to follow.

As a key operating area, the Vienna government attaches more importance to Africa than any other colony combined.

In order to ensure the control of the colony, it has always been a key supervision area, and the autonomy of the bureaucrats has been restricted.

For example, the Governor, in other colonies, is to administer the army and dismount the people.Here, the Governor is also the highest commander, but only the military attache is responsible for the military, and the civil affairs are managed by the local government.

Failure to count together does not mean that fraud is not possible.The mortality rate in the colony has always been high, but with the improvement of local development and the advancement of medical technology, the mortality rate has continued to decline.

If there is bureaucratic birth rate fraud, increase the birth rate data, and then continue to use the previous mortality rate, virtually increasing the number of deaths.

The artificial increase in the number of deaths offsets this part of the fake birth population, and the book is wiped out.

Anyway, as long as the mortality rate of the colony does not increase, it can be explained to the past, and the birth rate of the population is one of the evaluation criteria for the performance of local officials.

The person who came up with this method is said to be an accountant. He is the best at doing fake accounts.

Franz is currently assigned to work in a state-owned mining company that is about to go bankrupt. When will the enterprise come back to life and when will it be possible to return to the city.

Talent is rare and cannot be wasted.If it is done well, it saves a state-owned enterprise; if it is not done well, it can only stay in the mine as a miner for the rest of its life.

...

After reading the report carefully, Franz believes that this is not data fraud.The measures listed above can indeed stimulate fertility.

All benefits in the New Brook area are linked to childbirth. The more births, the more benefits.

For example: Unemployment assistance paid by the government is only eligible for parents who have children.(Those who contribute to the country or who make significant contributions to society are not restricted)

It is also very user-friendly. One child counts one, and parents with two children can receive two, which in turn is not capped.(If both spouses are unemployed, they will be paid 50% off.)

This is just one of them. As an immigrant city, housing in the New Brook area is provided by the city government, which is also one of the preferential conditions for encouraging immigrants.

Anyway, the land is not valuable, the main cost is the construction cost, and the problem of providing housing is not big.The New Brook City Government provides small houses, usually no more than fifty square meters.

The large apartment was intentionally set a high price by the government, and it was almost the same as the house price in Vienna. In short, ordinary people cannot afford it.

Then issued a regulation: all those who have more than three children can enjoy the purchase discount. For each additional child, 40 square meters are given away. For families with more than eight children, the government provides free decoration and a set of furniture.

In addition to these, there are a series of preferential policies, such as maternity leave and maternity subsidy, although the money is not much, the local government's attention is still reflected.

Even pensions come out, Austria has pensions, but now only those who have contributed to the country are eligible to receive them.

The New Brook City Government has expanded the scope of receipt. As long as five children are born and above, they are all eligible to receive. This standard is still calculated according to the number of children born. An extra child increases by 30%.

This item can be skipped. The average age in this era is still around 40 years old. Those who can live to 60 years old and receive pensions are all rare.

Austria has not established an endowment insurance system. It is not that Franz does not pay attention to this problem, but does not need it at all.

Those who can live to be more than 60 years old usually have good family conditions. If the poor ca n’t get rid of it, they ca n’t have such a long life.

A series of measures to encourage fertility are very unharmonious for single dogs, Dink families, and families with few children.Unless they have contributed to the country, these social benefits have nothing to do with them.

Franz wondered if this was a mess with traversers.Because he was frightened by the low fertility rate of later generations, he only came up with such extreme population stimulus measures.

Anyway, it works.As long as the people do not object, Franz will naturally have no opinion.

Now that it has been implemented in the New Brook area and has achieved results, this means that the resistance of the people will not be too strong.

Using limited funds to stimulate fertility and increase the population growth rate is of great significance to Austria.

If this continues, the birth rate of the Austrian population will not succeed, and Russia will be able to counterattack.

Franz is very skeptical that if this policy becomes a national policy, will European countries follow suit, if everyone does so, the world will not be broken by play?

He soon dispelled this anxiety and had to be raised after birth.In this era, there are more families with five or six children, and it is a question of how much we can support.

Before a condom, pregnancy was usually uncontrolled.The birth rate of all countries is very high, and the rate of abandoned children is also very high.

At this time, Franz suddenly found that compulsory education in Austria also stimulated population growth. After all, school management in the compulsory education stage saved family expenses.

This was an unexpected joy. I decided to take care of the meals at the school. It was to encourage parents to send their children to school. For this reason, students still have to rely on sand table learning for a long time.

Only after 1860 can we guarantee that all students will receive textbooks.It was only last year that I was able to receive free assignments.

Austria is playing with the poorest compulsory education, and it is estimated that many literati will be touted in the future.After all, there are stories that can be passed on.

Even now, the sand table is not lost.After all, paper is still very expensive now, and the workbooks issued by schools still cannot meet the demand.

Franz immediately decided to pass on this meaningful sand table.Whether to make a show for the sons to use, this is a question worth thinking about.

In the end, he decided to have a face, which was really fake. No one believed it, and most of them would be laughed at.

Franz did not prepare to promote this perverted population stimulus plan, and transferred it directly to the Prime Minister.

A good emperor cannot rob the cabinet. The prime minister is retiring anyway. This work is carried out just before leaving.

Otherwise, it will be hard to say whether the newcomers will come up and their prestige is not enough.Scolding is inevitable, at least liberals will spur the government bloody.
