The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has supported an initiative to pay pensions to parents with five or more children.

The idea is stipulated in a bill amending Article 1 of the law of Ukraine on pensions for merits before Ukraine regarding payment of pensions to parents that brought up five or more children.

Ukraine's Social Policy Minister Natalia Korolevska explained that the document envisages the right to receive pensions for merits before Ukraine only for mothers that gave birth to five or more children and brought them up until they are six years old.

"It [the bill] will deliver social fairness to such parents," the press service of the Social Policy Ministry cited Korolevska as saying.

If the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, passes the bill some UAH 1.4 million will be spent on its implementation in 2014.
