this poster gives us also good opportunities, written in Estonian, for Estonians, but basically: if you make (Estonian) children, you get a cheap loan to buy a bright new house and for the fast ones, the real estate firm offers you (once the kid was born though) a Kamasutra book...FOR FREE, so....

However, the poster doen;t say that you get cheep loan. It simply tells: "Young People, lets make children| You can get a house from Oma Kody=u for 1.75 milj kronas". This is still a very large amount of money to many young people in Estonia and totally unaffordable. And theer is no suggestion in the poster that teh loan rates are anything better then normal ones.

The campagne is totally in line with Estonian national demography policies and eccoes so much of 1988, when young estonians were also called to have larger families at that time it was for the survival of the nation and so.

Nothing has really changes, that time it was: have more babues, then we may get national idependence (the dream), now they still promice a dream, and that is your own home.

The UK also has some similar tactics to make peopel do what they want, so are in Scandinavial countries policies, which facilitate family planning in desired direction.

Cynical about the Estonian poster at the moment is the new family law, which the parliament is discussing and which will quite possibly generate huge inequalities inside the family.
