Abstract
The subject of the research in the article is the factors of formation of reproductive strategies among students. The relevance of the topic is related to the identification of additional opportunities to stimulate the birth rate among young people and to identify the factors hindering the implementation of these strategies. A sociological study conducted in 2024 using the methods of a semi-formalized written survey and traditional (qualitative) document analysis is devoted to identifying the main factors influencing reproductive strategies. 75 university students from Yekaterinburg participated in the study. The results of the study allowed us to rank the factors of the implementation of reproductive strategies. Mega-, macro-, meso— and microfactors have been identified. The megafactors influencing reproductive strategies are the international situation in general, the political and economic situation of the country, and socio-economic crises. Macrofactors that affect reproductive strategies are measures of state support for the family, the availability of housing, a car, financial security, and the availability of medical services. Mesofactors are the influence of the social environment, the media, and the parental family. Microfactors influencing reproductive strategies are associated with internal personal psychological ideas about oneself, children and childbirth, about family and partner, with life scenarios in general, with ideas about psychological readiness for parenthood. A comprehensive study and consideration of all these factors will contribute to an effective demographic policy.
