Russian Federation is the largest country in the world in terms of area, it has a huge amount of natural resources and wealth. However, the country is now faced with a shortage of labour, which was caused by the existing demographic problems. At the moment, the government pays great attention to the housing conditions of young families and therefore a huge part of state support is directed to this area. There is a research of the impact of such factors as the availability of housing and living conditions on reproductive behaviour. It has been shown that housing area and living conditions are significant. It was further investigated whether there are differences in the importance of these factors when considering different social strata. It was shown that the probability of having a child do not have a significant effect on housing conditions in the upper class.
