Sobyanin: The number of large families in Moscow has doubled.
We've looked at New York, London, Paris, Singapore—another Eastern city—and a number of other cities. And everywhere, the total fertility rate is falling. Falling very rapidly. But in Moscow, it's not falling, it's rising. Moscow is currently above average in this indicator,
ranking 30th in Russia. Although people think we're somewhere in the bottom five or three, or even topping the list," Sobyanin said.
According to him, the Caucasian republics, which are famous for their large families, and the northern regions are ahead of Moscow in this indicator.
