Abstract

The Object of the Study. Programs of regional maternal capital. The Subject of the Study. Influence of regional maternal capital on fertility behaviour Theoretical Aspect of the study. The article is devoted to the analysis of regional maternal (family) capital programs. The review of regional legislation reveals that the programs differ in many parameters – the birth order on which the regional maternal capital is provided, the possibilities for repeated payments, regional maternal capital spending priorities, the form of its provision (reimbursement of certain expenses or cash payment), the waiting period, the period of applying and the period of spending of regional maternity capital, and the conditions on permanent residence in the region. The Empirical Aspect of the Study. A pilot survey of families with children in the Altay Kray and the Samara Oblast’, conducted in 2015, shows extremely low awareness of families with children (especially with one or two children) about the existence of regional maternity capital, the size of the payment, the conditions for providing and spending priorities. Since the population does not know about the regional maternal capital program, it cannot be said that the existence of the program could significantly affect the decision of families to have another child. At the same time, the results of the research reveal that the material well-being of the family and the mother’s age affect the family childbearing plans in the next three years. The Purpose of the Study. Analysis of influence of regional maternal capital on fertility behavior.
