Fewer children are born in Russia

4 2019 June 11

The decline in the birth rate is one of the aspects of the general deterioration of the demographic situation in Russia, which has been observed since 2015, when after a nine-year recovery, fewer children were born for the first time than in the previous year.

The presidential ombudsman for children, Anna Kuznetsova, said that in 2018, 1 million 599 thousand 316 people were born in Russia, which is 15% less than in 2016.

A tangible decline in the birth rate across the country could not but cause a chain reaction for other indicators, one way or another connected with the birth rate.

Thus, the birth rate per one thousand people also decreased and now stands at 10,9% compared to 12,9% in 2016.

The number of children abandoned by parents decreased by 22% in Russia; the number of children in orphanages and orphanages decreased.

The number of children's institutions themselves, in which they brought up children deprived of parental care, has also decreased: over three years the number of orphanages in the whole country has decreased from 642 to 621.

The figures given by Anna Kuznetsova correlate with the data that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova announced last month about a 15,7% reduction in child mortality in the first quarter of this year and the achievement of a historic low by this indicator.

The continuation of the race is the law of life, but today many do not care about their own race, and about themselves. Children are the basis of personal happiness, without them happiness will be incomplete, flawed. Lonely, selfish, normal society rejects, and then despises. Already for sympathy and compassion is not scattered. But these are, so to speak, unwritten laws. It seems that it is time to formalize them: the rights of the childless must be limited - not admitted to public service, deprived of the right to be elected to the government, introduce a special tax from a certain age, limit the amount of pension. Easier said - shame childless! Especially for childless women.
Hard? Yes. But society must be saved, saved at all costs!

  Victor, all this is correct, but secondary. The main thing is a decline in living standards. Many can not afford children, because not sure about their future.

    Wrong! Everyone is sure that they will live. And they will not die of hunger. Our ancestors in this regard were much less confident, but reproduced. US, with small children, had to deny ourselves a lot for the sake of children, but - nothing, survived. Now - MIRACLE (grandchildren)! Joy, happiness, the meaning of life. They will also have problems, but we will try to pre-resolve them.

    Wrong to reduce the problem to the standard of living! This is debauchery! Simple: the ancestors lived much poorer.

So stress in life + bad food.
A bunch of acquaintances would like to have more children, but housing is bad, hassle with study and treatment, uncertainty about tomorrow. And, you still need to keep the girls very much ... they just don’t get married ...

One, more prosperous - 2e + 1n from the first wife - frequent health problems, but at least it contains at the level of ...
A bunch of friends never married, although they don’t drink, don’t laze ... Serve the princes to the ladies ....

  In the scientific community, many unmarried ladies with high self-esteem - I have been watching for decades. Some, having reached a critical age, will decide to have a child in any way, others - the older they are, the more they suffer from inevitable complexes, lose their social circle, and become disgusted with their colleagues. In private conversations they lament about the mistakes made in life, despair destroys and ages even more. Such a lady, having become the boss, torments the more successful employees in her life, surprisingly inventive.
  Material and financial aspects do occur, but far from the most important ones: the family and children stimulate the search for additional income very effectively. More important is public morality. It is necessary to deal with it - to form a negative attitude in society and the state towards children without children (and those with few children) and positively encouraging towards families with children and, especially, those with many children. And all this is enshrined in law.

    And more: dogs and cats are surrogate substitutes for children.

      As I already wrote, you are certainly right, and about dogs with cats, too. That's just convincing the vast majority is difficult. You probably forgot, there is no Soviet Union, the mentality of the Russian person has changed. Not for the better, but this is a fact and we have what we have. We must proceed from modern realities

        You are absolutely right: the mentality has changed! But this means that it can continue to change, so let’s put our efforts into it. Now the reaction to my suggestions is weak, but it's still not evening. I am sure that there will be associates. And not only on this resource ....
