Luxembourg is a welfare state, and the primary distribution mechanism of that welfare is civil service employment. This is not uncommon in rent-seeking economies, the petrostates do the same thing.
The fact that in a below-replacement birthrate situation this amounts in practice to nativist eugenics should be the basis for an EUCHR case, not some piddling petition to the government. Asking the government to fix this is like asking a casino to stop rigging its slot machines. You need an external body to overcome the perverse incentives.
Luxembourg is straight fucked if it thinks it zombie-shuffle into the next three decades on this same model.
Only solution is to remove it from the civil servants. We pay our taxes for them to be more well off? And apparently it applies to their “children” under 27. This is just incredible when you consider it. What happens if it’s a divorced civil servant couple? Do they both get it then as each would technically be head of the family.
Edit: forgot to add that the petition got less than 5000 signatures. I can’t say I saw it getting any exposure in the press or at least not very loudly.
