Addendum

Hryvko himself continues to insist on his Facebook page that the law is intended to improve the demographic situation in the country. According to him, the funds raised from the tax could be used to improve financial support, provide an opportunity to get their own housing, cars, and opportunities for family business.

In Soviet Ukraine, there was a 6% tax for those who did not have children, it was paid from 20-50. It was in effect from 1941 to 1991. And this tax was used to build housing for families, schools, kindergartens, pay family allowances, etc... And Ukraine received the most from it. What has become known from open sources... Although I was not there at the time, I cannot say for sure, only based on fragments of information 

- Hryvko said.
