FAMILY REGULATION OF FERTILITY IN THE SOUTH CAUCASUSCOUNTRIES

Summary

Fertility level are quit low in South Caucasus region. One of the main reason of fertility decline is the changes in reproductive behavior: social life and self-activity are valuable more in the modern society than children and modern society are oriented to have a fewer children. In South Caucasus region an abortion is the main means of fertility control. In the most cases, main reasons of abortion is that they do not want more children. Nevertheless, we believe that there is some potential in the South Caucasus countries and a properly designed demographic policy will enable to change the reproductive behavior.
