Putin's Russia does not support one-child norm

Why is Russian President Vladimir Putin despairingly advocating for population increase in his country? 

Contrary to this idea, Russians are beginning to get disheartened by President Vladimir Putin as he persistently urges them to have more babies. 

Having already told Russians to have bigger families, Putin has lately said that a large, large family ought to expand the country's population.

There are aspects connected with the climate concerns that have also impacted Russia's population diffusion. 

Most Russians reside in the region west of the Ural Mountains, with greater links to Eastern Europe and an additionally more promising environment.

The immediate drawback seems to be Russia's low fertility rate as has been corroborated by the displayed figures. 

With 1.42 children per woman in the year 2022—below the 2.1 children per woman the country requires to maintain its population at this present turbulent time.

The Russian population with an average age of 40.3 years dwells among the oldest in the world due to decades of calculatedly lower fertility rates. 

A mixture of disease, migration, and conflict has also rendered the nation to lose about 2 million more citizens in the last three years than it otherwise would possibly have.

A five-year drop in life yearning has reportedly brought the life expectancy of fifteen-year-old Russian boys below Haitian levels.

In the ongoing year's month of February, Putin pointedly said that Russian families require at least three children to assist in the task of increasing their population. 

He expressed: "If we desire to stay as an ethnic group - well, or as ethnic groups inhabiting Russia - there must be at least two children.

He stands categorically to sustain "If each family had just one child, the population would shrink", he said. "And to expand and develop, you need at least three children."

Therefore his straight emphasis advances on numbers not less than three. Comparatively, India and China have different perceptions of this carefulness.  

Since 1979, China has enforced a one-child policy to slow population increase and promote economic expansion. Although the policy has had some positive effects, it has also had some negative ones.

Only 599,600 children were born in Russia in the first half of 2024 — 16,000 fewer than in the same period last year and the lowest since 1999. 

Reportedly, the Russian government has already been providing people with additional babies for many years and also providing them supplementary advantages of distinct varieties.
