Transformation of the Human Reproductive Behavior under the Influence of the Educational Factors
Section: Fertility in Ukraine in Breaking the XXI Century: Structural Features, Perspectives, New Social Challenges
Language: Ukrainian
Abstract: The reproductive behavior of the population undergoes substantial changes due to institutional transformation of the educational system that involves emergence of new system of values, increase in duration of education and educational expenditures both for parents and their children, decline in gender segregation level, and low flexibility of educational system itself. Decrease in birth rates is caused by dominant reproductive behavioral patterns that are developed by the educational system. In the article, the author demonstrates that negative demographic consequences of Ukrainian educational reforms include postponement of marriage and first birth, frequent renunciation of second birth, and rising rates of childlessness. In addition, main features of demographic oriented educational policy are determined and substantiated.
Key words: fertility, educational standard, reproductive behavior, institutional reconstruction of educational system, demographically oriented educational policy.
