The Role of Social Protection of Families with Children in Increasing the Birth Rate (Based on the Author's Online Survey)

The relevance of the work is due to the high importance of social protection of families with children in the context of a growing demographic crisis. Despite all attempts by government bodies to stimulate the birth rate, it continues to decline. The decline in the birth rate is determined by a decrease in the number of women of childbearing age, delayed childbearing, the outflow of young people to large cities, and deterioration in social well-being. In this regard, social protection of families with children occupies a significant place in the context of the state's social policy. The more effectively social protection of families with children is implemented, the higher the quality of life of the population will be. The purpose of the study was to identify the role of social protection of families with children in increasing the birth rate (based on the author's online survey). The work set the tasks of determining the population's assessment of the current demographic situation in the Republic of Tatarstan, the prospects for its development in the next few years and the activities of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan in relation to the implementation of measures for the social protection of families with children. The empirical basis of the study was the official data of Rosstat, as well as the results of the author's online survey of residents of the Republic of Tatarstan, aimed at identifying the role of social protection of families with children in increasing the birth rate. The results of the study emphasize the need to implement state measures to support families with children in order to improve the demographic situation, and also demonstrate the need for their improvement.
