4Russia: Bonuses for Newlyweds and Parents

Russia has actively promoted marriage and childbirth through state-funded initiatives. Couples who marry and start families can benefit from what is known as the “maternity capital” program, which provides substantial financial aid after the birth of a child.

While the program is technically for parents rather than newlyweds alone, marriage is often the gateway. The state also organizes annual events such as the “Day of Family, Love and Fidelity,” during which couples are recognized and rewarded for strong marriages. Some rural regions in Russia additionally offer housing support for young married couples willing to relocate.
