In May 2018, Putin signed the decree "On national goals and strategic objectives for the development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024", which stated that by 2024, “it is necessary to ensure … [an] increase in thetotal fertility rate to 1.7”. In May 2024, Putin signed the decree “On the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and for the perspective up to 2036”, which calls for “increasing the total fertility rate to 1.6 by 2030”. Meanwhile, Russia’s birthrate dropped to 1.4, a figure so catastrophic that it hasn’t been seen since the socioeconomic collapse of the 1990s.

IN WHICH I OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZE TO INESSA S. AND TIM KIRBY FOR SPREADING SENSATIONALISM ABOUT RUSSIA'S BIRTHRATE! https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/russias-plummeting-birthrate-is-slightly

That’s a very HARDCORE take!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here’s a different perspective for your consideration, via Nakanune.ru: The head of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Fatherhood, Motherhood and Childhood, Nina Ostanina, notes that the goals of the [state program "Social Support for Citizens"] cannot solve the demographic problem, which means that the extinction of Russia's indigenous population will continue. "The birth rate indicators included in the program do not even provide for simple reproduction of the population. It seems to me that in the current conditions of demographic catastrophe, the Government is demonstrating an unwillingness to take decisive action," she told Parlamentskaya Gazeta.

Russian authorities understand “the need for a fundamental revision of the attitude towards demographic policy”, according to State Duma Deputy Nina Ostanina. “In the first half of this year, 599.6 thousand children were born, which is 16.6 thousand less than in the same period of 2023, Rosstat experts report. The birth rate in 2023 was a record low since 1999. At the beginning of summer this year, the number of newborns fell by 6% to 98.6 thousand.” [dumatv.ru]

Russia's birth rate has fallen to a level not seen since the economic collapse of the late 90s under Yeltsin, according to the latest data from Russia's Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). [news.ru]
