Abstract

The main aim of the study was to analyze and identify the social and economic content of the youth reproductive and self-identification in that sphere. The methodological basis of the study was formed by the conceptual approaches of sociology of family. The empirical basis of the work was the author's sociological survey conducted in Saratov in September 2019. Some research results. It was revealed that income and living standards have a contradictory effect on the reproductive attitudes of youth. The higher the income, the more often young people tend to formally traditional interpretation of motherhood as a woman's function, the more they tend to see to have a kid as a way to start a family. However, the lower the standard of living of young people, the higher the average desired number of children for ladies and men, and the higher the average expected number of children for ladies, the more focus on state aid. The analysis admits to conclude that in a long term perspective the socio-demographic policy orientated only on material support could be ineffective.
