Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what family friendly policies, specific tax incentives for married couples or child care reforms you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
We believe the current economic malaise puts disproportionate pressures upon young families. Financial hardship is the primary reason couples don't have more children or separate, leading to increased child abandonment. Financial and holistic assistance would strengthen families, alleviate stress, and, in many cases, reduce neglect-the most common form of abuse faced by children. Declining birth rates will become an existential threat in the medium term so let’s start to address the causes now.
