Novi Marof newborn benefit proposal

Overview

The city of Novi Marof has initiated public consultations to restructure its social welfare system by significantly increasing financial benefits for newborns. The proposal seeks to reclassify these payments as a distinct “pronatalist measure” intended to support families and encourage birth rates, rather than as general social welfare aid.

Under the proposed plan, benefits would scale from 500 euros for the first child to 2,500 euros for the seventh and subsequent children. Mayor Siniša Jenkač noted that the goal is to provide “concrete support for families to create a positive demographic environment.” The draft includes provisions for digital applications, adoptive parents, and specific circumstances for children born abroad.
