Importance of motives for having a second child for women
%
Survey results show the factors prompting women to plan for a second child. Fourteen rows list various motives, such as improving the family standard of living or the desire to strengthen the family and resolve housing issues. Respondents assessed the significance of each factor on a scale from 'Hard to say' to 'Very strongly influenced'; answers are shown in percentages. The data was obtained through a Rosstat survey; this is a one-time snapshot without annual trends, so the table shows which motives women consider significant at the time of the survey

How to read this table
The rows in the list represent specific life circumstances and goals that may influence demographic behavior. They can be compared by the distribution of responses across columns to determine what proportion of women consider a particular factor decisive versus secondary. This allows for a comparison of material incentives with the psychological or social aspects of family planning
What is visible in these numbers
The figures are index or percentage values, so they cannot be added up across rows: each one is measured against its own base.
