Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotykov, Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko, Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova and Deputy Minister of Education Andrei Nikolaev spoke about the premises of the formation, basic goals and directions of the new national project.
As Tatyana Golikova noted, the national project “Family” is comprehensive and formed taking into account the instructions of the President of Russia and its decree No. 309. It is focused on achieving three national development goals:
• preservation of the population, strengthening health and improving people’s well -being, family support;
• realization of the potential of each person, the development of his talents, the education of a patriotic and socially responsible person;
• A comfortable and safe environment for life.
“Developing a national project, we focused on the family in the broadest sense of the word. Therefore, the national project included events aimed at stimulating new births and supporting various types of families, including young, large, as well as older generations of families, ”the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
She noted that the National Project “Family” is replacing the national projects “Demography”, “Culture” and part of the events of the National Project “Healthcare” and takes into account all the experience of positive decisions accumulated in recent years.
The national project consists of five federal projects. For three projects, the head of the Ministry of Labor is determined – this is the FP “Family Support”, “Large Family”, “The Elder Generation”. FP “Protection of motherhood and childhood” is assigned to the Ministry of Health, FP “Family values and infrastructure of culture” – for the Ministry of Culture.
For six years, 17.9 trillion rubles are provided for the implementation of the national project, including 7.8 trillion rubles for the next three years.
“The president of the country has the task of ensuring a steady increase in the birth rate, to increase the total birth rate by 2030 to 1.6 and by 2036 to 1.8. It is possible to achieve targeted significance, provided that not only the social sphere, but also all the spheres of our lives – the economy, the development of housing and rural infrastructure, the improvement of cities and villages – will work for this task, ”said Tatyana Golikova.
According to her, the preliminary results of 2024 show that compared to 2023, the total birth rate, according to Rosstat’s operational data, has not changed much, decreasing by 0.7% to 1.4.
At the same time, in 18 regions an increase in the birth rate was noted. It is important that among them there are regions of central Russia, the north-west of the Demographic Winter cluster-these are Smolensk, Oryol, Ryazan, Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions.
“The dynamics of the birth of third and subsequent children has been preserved – by 1.1% of the previous year. At the same time, Russia, like many developed countries, is characterized by demographic challenges and new trends in the development of the institution of the family. Based on these challenges, we have formed seven key directions, ”said Deputy Prime Minister.
The first direction is the implementation of the approach “Plus one child in every family”. The target landmark is large families.
The second direction is the alignment of high regional differentiation of the birth rate.
According to the preliminary results of 2024, in 38 subjects, without taking into account new regions, the fertility is higher than the average Russian, and in two – the Chechen Republic and Tyva – it exceeds the level of simple reproduction – 2.1. In general, differentiation between the regions has not changed – the indicator differs three times).
In such conditions, federal umbrella measures with unified conditions for the whole country must be supplemented in all subjects with regional support measures with reference to local specifics and aiming with individual groups of regions, supporting them from the federal level. It is important that the growth of the total birth rate in the territory, the support of large families, the decrease in their poverty has become the personal project of each governor.
The third direction is the creation of conditions for the harmonious combination of professional development with the birth and education of children.
“For this, we are bothering both the state and corporate policy. Together with the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia, recommendations have been developed for the implementation of corporate social policy. Informally, we call them “The corporate demographic standard“. At the end of the year, it was adopted by the Russian three -way commission, ”said Tatyana Golikova. – As you recall, the president at the final meeting of the State Council supported certain additional measures, including tax incentives for employers, so that there is the possibility of supporting working women and working families. And of course, here is an important topic – support for the older generation. ”
The fourth direction is an increase in the birth rate in rural areas.
The village was traditionally the basis for the growth of the population in the country, large families. Despite the decrease in the last 10 years of the total birth rate in the village by a third, the birth rate in the village as a whole is kept today at a level that must be achieved throughout the country by 2030. It is important to keep it on this bar and build it if possible.
“Last year, a pilot project was launched in three regions – the Novgorod, Tambov and Penza regions, which is aimed at developing infrastructure. And although not much time has passed, we already see the first positive results. For three quarters of 2024, compared with the same period of 2023 in pilot regions, the number of women who stand for pregnancy in the female consultation increased-by 15% on average, and the number of women who preserved pregnancy increased-by 22% on average, ”said the Deputy Prime Minister.
“Another area is to increase the well -being of families so that they make decisions about the birth of another child. These, of course, are new targeted support measures. Both here we are, in the framework of the national project and in the framework of individual state programs and general policies, we will continue measures that are aimed at increasing the minimum wage, increasing the labor income of citizens, and, of course, holding inflation at a low level, ”Tatyana Golikova emphasized.
The sixth direction is the strengthening of reproductive health, the development of children’s medicine. It is planned to continue to increase additional investments in infrastructure and technology in healthcare.
The seventh direction is the strengthening of the values of the institution of the family. All the events that are related to the national project “Culture” that have been implemented in past years are concentrated here. These are cultural houses, and cinema halls in rural areas, and modernized theaters and museums, and model libraries, and repaired and equipped children’s art schools, new cinema halls.
“There are no trifles in matters such as birth rate. This really should become the work of every governor so that we, Russians, become more, ”concluded Tatyana Golikova.
