In a recent address at the Seimas, the Speaker highlighted the pressing issues of population decline and aging in Lithuania, stating that these challenges have significant implications for the economy, social systems, and the country's future prospects. He noted that the government's focus during the spring session should be on initiatives that counteract these trends—the dwindling birth rate and an increasing elderly population.

The Speaker stressed the importance of finding solutions to encourage higher birth rates, including strengthening support systems for young families and improving access to reproductive health services. He emphasized that the approach must ensure that families feel the tangible support of the state in order to foster a more conducive environment for raising children.

By prioritizing these demographic challenges, the government aims to address a core issue affecting Lithuania’s sustainability and growth. The session will focus on implementing effective policies to reverse the current trends of population decline, thereby ensuring a stable demographic future that supports economic resilience and social stability.
