And put society, women and men, in the condition of being able to have children. "POPE 2- "It is urgent to offer young people guarantees of a sufficiently stable job, security for the home, attractive for not leaving the country.

This, our country, where every year is like if a city with more than two hundred thousand inhabitants disappeared, in 2020 it reached the lowest number of births since national unity. "6- "The dramatic numbers of births and the frightening of the pandemic demand a change and a responsibility."7- "How many families in recent months have had to work overtime, dividing the house between work and school, with parents who have been teachers, computer technicians, workers, psychologists!
