The expedition heads - Alexey Shchur and Vera Sokolova with a team of 10 students, including postgraduate demographers, students of the master's program “Demography”, bachelor's programs “Sociology”, “Geography of Global Change and Geoinformation Technologies”, visited Khanty-Mansiysk, Surgut, Kogalym, as well as the Russkinskaya village of Surgut district.
The purpose of the expedition was to study what factors (socio-economic, infrastructural, personal) determine the gap between the wanted number of children and the actual (expected) one, and to how much regional measures to support families influence reproductive decision-making. During the expedition, more than 900 respondents were interviewed and expert meetings were held with relevant departments and organizations that develop and implement demographic policy in the region.
