Reproductive human potential in the Vologodskaya Oblast
The paper analyses a reproductive human potential in the Vologodskaya Oblast which is a major constituent of the regional demographic and socio-economic development and a consequence of the latter. The authors have shown that the regional fertility depends on not only economic factors but also ideological, mental and ethical ones. The paper proves that the development of the reproductive human potential is affected by not only medical parameters but also by demographic, social and economic indicators. Therefore, the task to maintain the regional reproductive human potential is directly connected with the tasks of providing young families and unmarried mothers with better social guaranties, incomes and housing. The better support for the social sphere and better medical care is the way to improve the reproductive situation in the region.
