This year Russians "crop failure" 200,000 children

Speaking about the demographic problems in the country, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets stated that during that year were born more than 1, 58 million children (a 7% increase compared to the same period of the previous, 2011). This figure is not the limit: a politician expects that by the end of 2012 came to light 1, 8 million young Russians, however, this figure Golodets do not like.
Deputy Prime Minister explained to relieve social risks in the future, you need to have an additional 200 000 children. Only in this way will prevent the shortage of professionals in the labor market and an aging population.

Nevertheless, there is reason for joy: for the first time in a long time birth rate   exceeded the level of mortality. To consolidate these results, the politician considers it necessary to create all conditions for the maintenance of the child.

"Children - the most important thing. Since the last time the number of births in Russia has increased by about 100,000 a year, the government should prepare the necessary infrastructure for the kids. We need to build kindergartens, schools, to solve housing problems, to provide a decent income parents, etc. ", - said Olga Golodets.

According to experts, the increase in the birth rate, fixed in recent years - the result of natural processes. "Government programs have nothing to do with it. It is something else: Now the family gets quite a large generation of the 80's, and children would be born, even without government support, "- said the director of the Institute of Human Development of Metropolis Tatiana Malev.

These surveys, conducted at different times of the prison administration, suggests that the measures taken by the government to stimulate the birth rate, although it was approved by 80% of respondents who influenced the decision to give birth to only one in four. At the same time in three years among those who planned to acquire offspring, this wish will come true only 6%.

Even the capital's residents, who have all the conditions for the creation of a large family, do not want to start more than 2 children.

"In these terms anything good in the future is not expected," - said the expert, adding that more and more Muscovites are not going to get posterity "to convince", and the term of the law on maternity capital will expire in 2016, the year.
