Russia stipulates that the legal age for marriage is 14. What is the reason for this policy?

This is because the population growth rate in Russia shows a negative growth trend. Therefore, the Russian government promotes population growth by lowering the legal age of marriage. Because Russia's economy has been in a very weak state in recent years, many families simply have no ability to raise children, so many young people choose not to get married and have children. However, this has also brought a very big problem to the whole Russian society. First, the issue of military resources. Without a large number of young people, Russia's military resources will be very serious.

In addition, social development is inseparable from a large number of young laborers. However, due to the decrease of population and the lack of young labor in society, the development of some economic enterprises has been greatly restricted. Once this happens, some economic enterprises will have operational difficulties and even go bankrupt. In this case, there will be a chain reaction. Once these enterprises go bankrupt, it will lead to employee unemployment and a series of social problems.

Therefore, the Russian government will choose to lower the legal age of marriage to stimulate population growth. But we all know that the problem of Russian population decline is not because of the legal age, but because of economic recession. In recent years, Russia's economy has declined sharply due to US sanctions. The living standard of ordinary Russians has also been greatly problematic, which has also led to many ordinary Russians not choosing to have children at all. Because you can't even guarantee your own living standard, let alone raise children.

Therefore, if Russia wants to solve the problem of population decline, it must solve the economic problem, because the economic problem is the fundamental reason for the population decline. But now Russia has no ability to solve economic problems at all.
