Abstract

The demographic challenges facing Russia are creating a demand for an effective state family policy. Objective — to conduct a comprehensive sociological analysis of the development of reproductive attitudes among young people in St. Petersburg within the framework of institutional practices implementing state family policy. The empirical subject of the study is young people in St. Petersburg aged 14 to 35. This study utilized a quota sample, with quotas established by gender and age as related characteristics. A total of 401 respondents were surveyed. It was found that family occupies a priority position in the younger generation's value system, second only to material well-being: 72.2% of respondents named family as their primary value, while 82.6% cited material well-being. Factor analysis revealed two key factors: Material and infrastructural support for families and Status and preferential support for large families. Those in favor of material and infrastructural support were almost twice as numerous — 63.8% versus 36.2% who supported status-based benefits. The study demonstrated not only the importance of a comprehensive approach but also the need for a flexible and targeted implementation of family policy.
