Demographic crisis in Russia. Alexey Raksha about why more and more people are choosing childlessness

In Russia, a possible ban on the childfree movement, aimed at consciously refusing to have children, is being discussed. The authorities believe that the propaganda of childlessness has a negative impact on the demographic situation in the country. Often, government intervention in family and fertility issues turns out to be a sign of control rather than concern for the future population of the country. Why in the modern world are fewer and fewer people deciding to start a family and have children? How do SVR and the general level of anxiety affect the birth rate in Russia? What really influences the decision to have children? In this video we discuss how social, cultural and political factors shape the approach to family planning. Demographer Alexei Raksha will look at why economic incentives do not always lead to expected increases in fertility, and what role education, cultural attitudes, anxiety and technological change play in this.
