Russias New Health Guidelines: Pushing for Positive View on Childbearing
Russias health ministry has introduced new guidelines, mandating doctors to refer women who express no desire for children to psychologists during routine reproductive checkups. This move aims to foster a more favorable perspective towards childbearing, as the country grapples with a significant population decline. President Vladimir Putin has long emphasized the importance of increasing birth rates to prevent national decline, a challenge exacerbated by the ongoing war in Ukraine. With a fertility rate of just 1.4 children per woman, well below the replacement rate of 2.1, Russia is taking drastic measures, including cracking down on abortions, banning child-free lifestyle promotion, and offering incentives for large families.
