Abstract:

The paper presents the results of the Russian round of an international research project in which we studied perceptions about future family and parenthood among female university students. For the Russian round, we surveyed young women from five Russian universities. Our research revealed the following. Firstly, reproductive intentions among female university students are quite low. Secondly, we identified objective determinants of the women's reproductive intentions. These include where the young woman lived before starting university and the size of her parental family. Thirdly, we discovered subjective determinants of reproductive intentions: the girls' perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of parenthood, and the significance of children in one's life. Through our research we concluded that reproductive intentions are significantly influenced by subjective factors, namely ideas about family and parenthood. In turn, they are shaped by social norms and stereotypes, and the young women's experiences growing up. As such, studying family practices and parenting culture to identify types and scope for transformation towards a strengthening of reproductive intentions looks promising. Moreover, potentially damaging demographic trends can be mitigated through changing social norms and stereotypes.
