"The Assembly is convinced that current demographic ageing requires, therefore, positive action to help support an increase in birthrates adopting measures to put parents in a position to exercise their right to freely and responsibly decide the number and spacing of the children they want. Establishing family work-life balance measures, such as parental leave, accessible childcare services and tax benefits, will make work and education more compatible with young professionals' career choices in order to help young couples with their choice and assist parents with child upbringing. Because future generation and family policies are not a cost to the States' debt balance of accounts but a social investment contributing to the human capital to tackle the demographic crisis, it is necessary to work for intergenerational equity, ensuring policies that equitably support young families and older generations."
