It is one of the most discussed projects in the new blue-black government program: financially compensating parents who care for their child at home instead of in a daycare center. This is already a reality in a community in Styria. But there is also criticism of the planned ‘heater bonus’, which pushes women into old role models.
“My mothers!” says Mayor Josef Niggas (ÖVP) and welcomes the three young mothers who have come to the Lannach town hall with their offspring. Melanie Orthaber, Katrin Koller and Julia Taibinger are three of about thirty women who receive money from the community for caring for their children at home. For eight years, the community of 3,700 inhabitants had the offer that the FPÖ and ÖVP could expand to the whole of Styria (see below).
