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:
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
Forum explores what domestic abuse looks like on the Isle of Man
Noble's Park masterplan to enhance 'jewel in the crown'
Sick leave in public sector cost £44 million over three years
