Recommendations from Population Rebalancing Committee to be put to Tynwald
Finance, employment law and rights to maternity leave have acted as the biggest barriers to couples looking to start a family, but that could be soon to change.
Fifteen recommendations are due to be put to Tynwald, including a one that would seek support for pre-school credit to be extended to include children from the age of one.
Others include payments to be made to parents at specific milestones in a child's life to assist with things like school uniforms.
The move mirrors the UK's announcement which would see the changes come into effect in 2025.
The Chair of Tynwald's Population Rebalancing Dr Michelle Haywood hopes the changes prove government is on the side of working families:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
