Review of regional maternity capital programmes in Russia 2011–2023

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis of regional maternity capital programmes of 85 Russia’s federal constituents. Their differences in terms of the size of benefits and benefit conditionalities are reviewed both spatially and temporally for the period from 2011 to 2023. The authors created a unified database of existing regional maternity capital programmes and made it publicly available on the Internet1. Interactive maps and data sheets of the programmes detailing their features were prepared. An analysis of their differences was made, and a typology was set up of regional maternity capital programmes aimed at incentivising childbirth of various birth orders.
