The government is working to promote the family and several initiatives have been taken along this line in the past years, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said.
Closing a Moviment Zghazagh Partit Nazzjonalista seminar, Dr Gonzi said a clear example was the incentive through which mothers who returned to work after giving virth and bringing up chidlren would not pay income tax for a year.
Another measure was that giving children's allowance to all families with children.
