It has declared Sept. 12 the Day of Conception and for the third year running is giving couples time off from work to procreate.
A holiday that sends couples home encouraging procreation.. err. SEX, with the aim of having a child 9 months later on Russia's National Day. If achieved, you win prizes such as cars, money, and other incentive merchandise.
At first it may seem like a sick joke. It really isn't, on further thoughts it's actually the most ridiculous thing a nation could do to combat a population crisis. It's true that their future is at stake since their birth rate and deathrate is so lopsided, however, I think the government fails to perceive that there can be bigger problems by creating such a Holiday.
Orphans & Adoption levels. It's a known issue in Russia where orphans numbers are climbing. I can only think this will add to that.
Prostitution for hire for this contest. Promotion of sex on a day that everyone is doing it can only lead to pervertedness for those who do not have a sexual partner. Who is to stop a lonely individual on the day of the holiday to hire a prostitute?
Sexually transmitted diseases. Enough said.
