Tuva and Chechnya became the leaders in birth rates in Russia

The highest birth rates in Russia are demonstrated by such national republics as Tuva, Chechnya, Ingushetia and Altai. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to a study by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), based on Rosstat data.

The analytical report on changes in healthcare, education, infrastructure and the urban environment is associated with the national quality of life rating for 2025, which ASI annually prepares on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

It, in particular, takes into account three fertility indicators - the number of births per thousand women of fertile age (15-49 years) and age-specific birth rates in the age groups 30-34 years and 35-39 years, that is, the number of births per 1000 women of the corresponding age.

The national average for the first indicator is 35.9, the second is 66.5, and the third is 38.4. Tuva and Chechnya are among the top three for each of them. Ingushetia was among the best in terms of overall fertility rates, as well as in terms of birth rates at the age of 35-39 years. In the age category of 30-34 years, its place was taken by the Altai Republic.
