In order to increase the population growth rate, Russia lowered the legal age of marriage to 14. Is this useful?

First of all, in September of 19, Russia passed a new law to adjust the legal minimum age for marriage to 14, and stipulated that 14 did not allow parents to interfere in marriage. This law has caused public controversy in Russia. After all, 14 years old is too young, mentally and physically immature, but it is also a helpless move. Russia is vast and sparsely populated, and the overall population is still negative. It is predicted that by 2050, the population of Russia will be less than 1 billion, but it will occupy the largest country in the world. Russia has also promulgated many similar laws to encourage childbearing, but Russians don't buy it. No matter how the government encourages it, the population is still negative, and Russia is also xenophobic. So it may not be useful to reduce the legal marriage to 14 this time. The solution is to change the inherent concept through ideological education.

Personally, I think that lowering the legal age of marriage to 14 in Russia is useful for increasing the population growth rate, but it is of little use. Because people's quality is generally higher than before, and the importance attached to marriage is also higher than before. Although the age of marriage has decreased, Russians may not marry early, let alone have children.

Since the disintegration of 199 1 Soviet Union, the population of 20 199 1 Russia has experienced a negative growth for 22 years. At that time, the population of the Soviet Union was more than 40 million people than that of the United States, making it the third most populous country in the world after China and India. Of course, Russia just joined the Soviet Union. To Russia's annoyance, the population of Russia is not lower than that of the Soviet Union, but compared with the socialist republics of the Soviet Union in the Soviet era, there has been a negative growth. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there was a serious phenomenon of population outflow and fertility decline in Russia, which seriously affected the source of Russian labor force and army. Russia's population problem has even triggered such a discussion internationally:

Russia's status as a great power will be less developed with the natural decrease of population, and even there is a danger of making Russia extinct. After Putin took office, he realized the seriousness of the population problem, so he took a series of measures and finally stopped the downward trend of Russian population in 20 13. In 20 17, the problem of Russian population growth, which had already shown signs of improvement, suffered setbacks, setting a record that the number of new population in Russia fell to the lowest level in ten years. Therefore, the population problem has become a major problem that the Russian government is eager to solve.
