New measures of demographic and family policy in Russia: national and regional aspects
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The article describes the depopulation in Russia and the projected demographic characteristics by 2046. Indeed, we distinct the concepts of «demographic policy» and «family policy». However, the theoretical and methodological basis for family demographic policy should be the concept of the institutional crisis of the family. The paper considers the main provisions of the Strategy of Action for the implementation of family and demographic policy, support for large families in the Russian Federation until 2036, the relationship of the Strategy with state programs and national projects, new measures of demographic and family policy in the Russian Federation in 2010-2020. The research provides the projects on Russian Federation Demographic Platform and the pilot regions. Moreover, the research presents the analysis of the total fertility rate in the Central Federal District. Based on the analysis of the Family Policy Concept of the Yaroslavl region, we reveal the main issues of the modern family and consider the mechanisms and resources of concept implementation. The example of the Regional Programme to Increase Fertility in Ivanovo region for 2023-2025 shows the sources of funding for family and demographic policy in the region, the connection with state programmes and its new measures, the classification of support measures for certain categories of women and families. Negative demographic trends necessitate the implementation of a comprehensive and systematic government policy aimed at formation of additional incentives for having children (especially for young families), and tools for comprehensive family support at all stages (marriage, birth and upbringing of children, and the transition to old age, etc). The measures concern with all areas affecting fertility, mortality, life expectancy, living standards for families with children, housing policy, and the territorial (spatial) development of Russia.
