Women's assessment of motives for having a third child
%
Women assess the specific factors that prompted them to have a third child by selecting the degree of influence for each circumstance. The list includes sixteen different motives, such as improving the family's standard of living and the desire to strengthen family ties. Data are presented in percentages and reflect the distribution of responses on a scale from uncertainty to high significance. This is a one-off snapshot from Rosstat observations and does not include time series data

How to read this table
Table rows categorize different life circumstances that may stimulate fertility. These can be compared by the frequency with which women select extreme response options, from 'Hard to say' to 'Influenced very strongly'. For example, for the 'Improving the family's standard of living' motive, the share of 'Hard to say' responses is 8.264822695 percent, while the 'Influenced very strongly' option was chosen by 5.109487932 percent of women
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.
