Families with many children benefit from the City Large Family Card 3+. New residents also receive welcome packages. An important element of the family-friendly policy is also the construction of flats for young couples and the operation of municipal nurseries. The municipality is developing family recreation areas by building modern playgrounds, hiking and cycling trails.

- The government's most important tasks are to create conditions for families to function well and to get out of the demographic trap, Minister Maląg said. The solutions proposed in the Demographic Strategy 2040 and the Polish Order will serve this purpose. The development of childcare places for children up to the age of three, implemented through the "Maluch+" programme, will have an increased budget of up to 1.5 billion PLN a year.

Minister Maląg also discussed the government's pro-family policy with residents of Łężany during a family picnic.
