Forum participants highlighted significant trends: an increase in the total fertility rate has already been recorded in 18 Russian regions. However, achieving a lasting impact requires a comprehensive approach to the living environment.
A key insight from the "Living Environment" track was the idea that low-rise housing should be viewed as a primary demographic tool. According to experts, families living in detached houses have, on average, 30% more children than those living in apartments.
The forum also emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships in child welfare. Through the "Kind SPIEF" initiative, the business community contributed approximately 124 million rubles to support social and family-oriented non-profit organizations, while the "Soul of Russia" pavilion served as a focal point for discussions on inclusion and the preservation of traditional values.
