Reproductive Behavior in Russia and Countries of the World: Axiological Aspect

Abstract

The problem of regulation of reproductive behavior is chosen for the topic of publication not without a reason. Careful attention to the study of this problem is necessary for understanding and predicting fertility trends in Russia and in the world for developing a long-term concept of an effective demographic and family policy. At the moment, the country doesn’t observe the problem of depopulation, but it hasn’t disappeared, it only faded into the background. Now the main demographic reserve of the country is the depopulation generation of the 90s, which is currently undergoing a process of rethinking life priorities and strategies of socio-demographic behavior: The of families leading childless lifestyles or the age of birth of the first-born shifts, so a new threat arises due to transition of the country into the open phase of depopulation.
