What happened

Russia’s average birth rate amounts to 1.352, while it should be shooting for 2.3, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said.

Why it matters

"The total fertility rate - for those who do not know what this indicator is, I will say that this is the number of children per woman of reproductive age - should be 2.3.

Common ground

For the population to simply remain constant - 2.1, and today it is 1.352.

Perspective signals
