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:
Isle of Man reviewing self-testing cervical screening kits
Former treasury minister warns against 'emotional' triple lock decision
Egg Gate: Police appeal for help after 'recent spout of egging'
Beach Buddies maintaining momentum after 20 years
