Family and Demographic Policy in the Vector of Ensuring National Security of Russia

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the main normative documents defining the directions of ensuring national security and development of Russia, the authors substantiate the need to form a strategic program and target document in this area, integrating the tasks of implementing demographic security and family policy of the State. The authors provide their understanding of the content of demographic security, which the authors consider as one of the components of the national security of the Russian Federation. The authors substantiate the conclusion that the main goal of demographic security in the context of modern challenges is to improve demographic indicators through the reproduction of indigenous population of Russia, reflecting an increase in fertility and a decrease in mortality. Russia’s solution to the problem of depopulation is possible only through the implementation of systemic activities aimed at solving the problems of ensuring demographic security, by developing a unified demographic policy aimed at stabilizing the processes of natural reproduction of the population at the expense of the indigenous population, where the family is the basic subject.
