Importance of motives for having a second child for men
%
Various factors prompt men to plan for a second child, and the survey records the degree of their influence. Rows list fourteen motives, ranging from improving the family's standard of living to the desire to strengthen the family, while columns assess the significance of each motive, from 'hard to say' to 'had a very strong influence.' Data are presented in percent and are based on Rosstat survey results, without breakdown by time or region

How to read this table
Motives can be compared by the distribution of responses in the columns: one can see which factors are considered decisive and which cause doubt or carry no weight. For example, the same factor may have different proportions across categories from 'hard to say' to 'had a very strong influence.' This allows for comparing social and family incentives by analyzing the frequency of mention for each of the fourteen items in the final survey results
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.
