How to read this table

Rows are categorized by education type, including primary, basic general, and secondary general education. Comparing these rows shows how attitudes toward official unions change based on educational attainment. Columns display specific response groups, from supporters of mandatory registration for a first marriage to those who consider subsequent marriages unnecessary

What is visible in these numbers

The table is 97% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.

The figures are index or percentage values, so they cannot be added up across rows: each one is measured against its own base.

Period and application

Data are collected from survey results and presented as a cross-sectional snapshot without temporal tracking. The percentage-based information is intended for sociologists and demographers studying the value attitudes of the population. The data reflect respondent opinions regarding the importance of the legal formalization of family relationships
