title: [The reproductive function of urban families depending on the form of marriage].
abstract: In the Ryazan oblast there are 26 thousand families in which both spouses are under 30 years of age, and every third young family is childless. The overwhelming majority (84.5%) young married couples with children have one child, 14.4%--two children, 1.0--three children and more. According to the results of the study, a comparative socio-hygienic characteristic is presented of families which contracted a legal marriage and live in a consensual alliance. An analysis was made of the main reasons which forced a significant number of families to limit births.
