This article analyzes the socio-economic factors of fertility in the regions of Russia. The
conceptual basis of the study is a hypothesis of the second and the third demographic transition.
The author tries to apply the model of demographic transitions to explain the reasons of current
demographic situation in Zabaikalsky krai. Using the model of the second demographic transition,
the author comes to the conclusion that one should consider the dynamics of fertility and mortality
in Zabaikalye within the fourth and the fifth phases of long evolution of demographic processes in
Zabaikalsky krai within the scope of the second demographic transition. The proposed hypothesis
does not exclude taking into account the impact of specific factors, quality of life and employment
for the current level of fertility in the family and the changing structure of the causes of death. The
article gives examples of theresearch results in Siberia showing that different ethnic groups are
motivated to have many children.
