The birth rate in St. Petersburg has almost reached the pre-pandemic level; in 2021, 55,44 children were born in the city. Albina Beschasnaya, Associate Professor of SZIU RANEPA, Candidate of Sociological Sciences, told a Rosbalt correspondent about this.
“Based on the emerging trend, the growth in the number of newborns will only continue. The main incentives will be material and social support for young families, a trend towards conscious parenthood, as well as an increase in the migration flow from the regions of the country,” the sociologist noted.
According to her, the coronavirus infection is no longer an obstacle to expanding the family. Those who delayed replenishment in 2020, when the pandemic was just gaining momentum, decided on a child in 2021. The numbers have reached pre-pandemic levels.
“In addition, thanks to the predominantly remote work format, future parents have formed a model of everyday life that combines work and household chores, which also includes taking care of children,” Beschasnaya emphasized.
