Nisyros Offers €3,000 Baby Bonus as Greek Island Battles Population Decline

The Greek island of Nisyros has introduced a €3,000 financial incentive for every child born to permanent residents. Proposed by Mayor Christofis Koronaios and approved unanimously by local authorities, the one-off payment aims to address the island's ongoing population decline.

This initiative represents a localized effort to combat demographic challenges facing many remote Greek islands. By providing direct financial support to families, local officials seek to encourage residency and stabilize the island's population numbers.
