Journal Title: Демографія та соціальна економіка - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue

Abstract

Since the beginning of the 2000th years in Russia birth rate increases. Especially its essential gain occurs since 2007. The total fertility rate increased with 1,305 in 2006 to 1,691 in 2012. First of all, this increase occurs on the second and subsequent births. In many respects it is caused by the realization beginning in 2007 of additional measures of the help to families with children. When comparing a gain of total coefficient of birth rate on the second and subsequent births for 2007–2012 with what it could be at preservation of dynamics of 2000–2006, the difference in 44,1% turns out. It is represented that it is possible to charge to result of realization of measures of the state help to families with children. Results of the sociological surveys conducted in 2012 and 2013, showed significantly a big share of rebirths with an interval of 10 years and more after the birth of the first-born during the period after 2007 in comparison with 2000–2006. The increase in a share of rebirths with so considerable interval after the birth of the first child can be considered, probably, as an assessment of productivity of measures of demographic policy because if the birth of these children the long time was postponed, that, the probability is great that without their realization of these births wouldn’t be in general. By results of sociological poll of 2013, 43,3% of respondents (including answered «it is hard to say») don’t deny the help of realized measures in adoption by them of the decision on the birth of the second or subsequent child in 2007–2013. This size is very close to the gain noted above (by 2012) total fertility rate on the second and subsequent births (44,1%). The choice respondents of a measure of the help to families with the children, had the greatest impact on adoption by them of the decision on the birth of the younger child, considerably differs depending on his sequence. At whom this child the first, most often noted influence of a monthly grant (paid holiday) on care of the child till 1,5 years. Among at whom this child is the second or the subsequent, the majority noted the greatest influence of the federal maternity (family) capital. It can be considered as the main measure which has influenced increase of level of birth rate in 2007–2012, without belittling, however, a positive role of realization and other measures.
