Dr. Monadi stated that it is important for us to increase the number of elites; He stated: "Unfortunately, in our country, the elites culture says less children leads a better life, while the elite should have more children, because a child's education is done with a group of peers, not with teachers, parents."

Dr. Olyaei Menesh stated: In the Population youth camp, various committees have been formed, all of them are engaged in providing services in the same direction and widely, and the laws have been approved and communicated to facilitate and help marriage and childbearing during pregnancy and child rearing. do I hope that the result of this movement will encourage girls and boys to start a family and have children.

The vice president of health of the university said that the population window of the country will be closed between the next five to seven years and noted: If we provide the conditions, young people will definitely turn to having children. Having a child is valuable, the authorities must prepare the conditions because the demographic window of the country will close in the next five to seven years and we must plan in such a way that we do not experience an aging population.

He emphasized: In specialized committees, issues such as dormitories, vacations, educational, cultural measures and processes, pregnancy health, insurance for infertile couples, etc. have been raised, and we hope that the results of these committees will lead to better growth of the country's population.
