Description:
To study sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the large families living in rural areas, 204 large families living separately were surveyed. From among surveyed families 87,7 % made traditional families, and 12,3 % made single-parent families. In total 775 children lived in families, from which 684 children lived in traditional families and 91 children lived in single-parent families. It was found out that wages are the main cash cow with large families. But the necessity to work half-time weakens the position in the labour market of parents having many children. Women’s average wages are 4746,7±614,5 roubles a month, men’s average wages are - 7755,2±427,8 roubles a month. One-third fraction of both traditional and single-parent families are on the breadline (28,2% and 28,0% respectively). The analysis showed that expenses on one child in a family, without expenses on a food, actually make 12632,5 rubles a year, thus depending on the age expenses on one child have essential distinctions. With increase in number of children in a family, the share of expenses on them in a family, considerably increases.
