Abstract

During the twentieth century Russian women were assigned the triple role of social and political activists, workers, caregivers, and mothers. This chapter offers an overview of the main steps undertaken, first by the Soviet and later by the modern Russian governments, to influence family formation models and fertility levels, to improve the demographic situation between 1917 and 2015. The overview pays close attention to such measures of demographic policy as: marriage and divorce regulation; support of families through family benefits and the tax system; reconciliation of family and work spheres (maternity/paternity leave, workplace flexibility measures); fertility promotion; childbearing and childcare support; and rare reproductive health protection initiatives.
