Young Russian family as the most important resource in public policy

The article analyzes the main problems and prospects for the implementation of state support for young families as one of the main directions of youth and family demographic policy in modern Russia. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that the family acts as a fundamental social institution designed to carry out a number of significant functions, including the reproductive function, which, for various reasons, is not fully realized in modern Russia, which is reflected in the insufficiently high birth rate, the rooting in the minds of a significant part of young Russians of attitudes for lack of children or even childlessness. For this reason, as the authors note, state policy should be aimed primarily at supporting young families with children, creating conditions for the birth of two or more children in these families. The work emphasizes that currently issues related to the formation, development and support of a young family are priorities in the framework of the implementation of the policy of the modern Russian state, and are an important prerequisite for ensuring the national security of the country as a whole. In accordance with the final conclusion made by the authors of the article, the fundamental task of all state and public institutions responsible for implementing policies in the fields of family, motherhood, fatherhood and childhood should be to popularize the institution of a prosperous young family, in which a married couple is traditionally created at a young age, focused on the birth and upbringing of children based on Russian traditional family values.
