According to BioNews, Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban has announced that
Hungary will be providing free IVF to couples to combat the country’s declining birth rate. This could reduce outbound fertility travel.
The article states that Hungary’s population has been progressively declining for four decades due to Hungarians having fewer children, and a rise in emigration of working-age people to other EU nations.
The article says that it is currently unclear as to the eligibility criteria for receiving a free cycle and whether it will be restricted to certain demographics.
Other measures have also been launched to encourage Hungarians to have more children, including income tax exemptions-for-life for couples with four or more children, and certain loans being voided for couples with three or more children. The government is also considering the income tax exemption to include single women who have three children.
