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.
