The relevance of this issue is connected with the transformation of the child-woman ratio in families and its influence on the socio-economic development of the country. Changes in family structure cause fluctuations in the economic behaviour of the population. New needs, constraints and risks arise. In addition, the transformation of models of the child-woman ratio makes it possible to assess the dynamics of demographic development and the effectiveness of social policy measures. Thus, the results presented can be used by both public authorities and business representatives.&nbsp;The scientific&nbsp;problem&nbsp;was&nbsp;to&nbsp;determine&nbsp;the vector&nbsp;of transformation&nbsp;of the child structure&nbsp;of families&nbsp;in&nbsp;different&nbsp;subjects&nbsp;to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;the regions&nbsp;that are&nbsp;leaders&nbsp;of the demographic&nbsp;development&nbsp;of the country.&nbsp;Methods.&nbsp;This study is based on a statistical analysis of the results of the 2002, 2010 and 2020 All-Russia population censuses. Data on the dynamics of the number of family units in Russia and its regions were used. Comparisons and grouping of subjects were carried out. The results are presented graphically. Research results.&nbsp;The study showed that the intensification of family and demographic policy measures contributed to the formation of a more balanced family structure of Russian families. At the same time, their effectiveness varied in different regions of the country. The effects of state policy could be seen not only in an increase in the number of births of children of the order at which the measures were primarily aimed, but also in the births of children of a higher order. However, the positive effects were not widespread. In a number of regions, the proportion of large families decreased and the popularity of one-child families increased. A regional analysis of the structure of families by number of children allowed us to assess which issues contributed more to the national picture of its transformation. Conclusions. The child structure of families in modern Russia tends to improve in relation to the demographic development of the state. However, the focus of attention is on the regions with traditionally high birth rates, where the proportion of large families and the depth of the child-woman ratio are decreasing.
