Why Andhra is offering families up to Rs40,000 to have more children, CM Naidu explains
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu announced a new policy to encourage families to have more children by offering financial incentives. Families will receive ₹30,000 for a third child and ₹40,000 for a fourth child as part of the government's strategy to address declining fertility rates. The initiative aims to prevent potential demographic challenges similar to those faced by countries with ageing populations.
- ▪The Total Fertility Rate in Andhra Pradesh has dropped from 3.0 in 1993 to 1.5 currently.
- ▪Around 670,000 births were recorded in the state in 2023, with projections indicating that 23% of the population could be elderly by 2047.
- ▪The proposed policy includes financial support, free education up to 18 years, and extended parental leave for families having more than two children.
