BIRTH RATE AND LOVE FOR ONE’S HOMELAND
03:26 pm | Today | Social
Birth rate has dropped to the lowest level in Armenia, says Hakob
Hakobyan, Chairman of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on
Social Affairs. Over 54 percent (800000) of families do not have
children under 16.
The lowest birth rate in the country was in 2002 when there were a
total of 32 000 children.
Among the reasons for unprecedented low fertility levels Mr Hakobyan
pointed out the absence of love between citizens and the state.
Another reason is the fear for one’s future, the absence of love for
one’s homeland, etc.
“Love cannot be one-sides, it is always mutual,” said Mr Hakobyan.
