The Thousand Families Plan; Another effect of the Tsokling's Success's.

Beyond causing a deficit, the Tsokling System does have one other issue. A demographics issue. Sure, it solved poverty wonderfully, and it is a staple of Xsampan Socialism, but it's a situation of suffering from success. Population growth has slowed. And an aging population is rising faster than anticipated. This is where the Thousand Families Plan comes into effect, as if ignored, this can turn from a minor issue to a major one. As such, the People's Committee of Human Development has announced the Thousand Families Plan, a plan which will focus on not only expanding housing drastically, but also encourage population growth through incentives.

So, first things first, what does the Thousand Families Plan do in terms of incentives? Well, it's time to take a look at the New Life Package from Dekyong, and introduce it on a national scale. So what does this mean? Well, new parents can easily sign up for the New Life Package in any city, not just Dekyong to receive a package and, depending on family size, a grant. The package itself will contain the vitals. Formula, diapers, clothes, all the vitals. Even with the Tsokling and even in a socialist system, there is bound to be anxiety over having a child or starting a family. We can't realistically remove every anxiety and make it as easy as snapping your fingers. But we can try. As such, parental leave will be expanded for new parents and Social Enterprises, domestic and foreign will be required to handle expanded parental leave, however, the state will compensate foreign and domestic Social Enterprises for said parental leave. Looping back to that grant, the goal is to help new families thrive and not just exist. Even with the New Life Package, you may not be able to immediately relocate, as such the grant will not only provide the funds for moving (since it is a rather costly endeavor and the goal is to make it easier), as well as priority in the National Housing Exchange for a location.

Speaking of, the Urban Expansion. Housing will be expanded drastically to ensure that every housing unit has a family, happy and thriving. As such, the Xsampan Job Corps will focus on construction of new housing in all Cantons, with Local Committee's and Regional Committee's being given a grant from the Central Government and a quota to expand housing drastically before the end of the century. The goal is to ensure that the National Housing Exchange isn't overwhelmed by demand, both for parents and the average Xsampan.

The goal of the Thousand Families Plan isn't to throw money at people and say figure it out. It's to show Xsampans that the state will step up and provide support whenever possible. And also prevent a future demographics crisis (since immigration reform is a hot potato within Xsampa as we saw during the Passereau Administration and the ISRA failing in PAX and Debate). Whatever the case, the People's Committee of Human Development is certain that this'll see improvements. At the very least, new and more housing for everyone is always a win.
