27%

of Russian families are prepared to support their children until they finish their undergraduate degree. This data was obtained during a survey of Russian families with children aged 4—22 that was conducted in the autumn of 2013 as part of a joint project between the Monitoring of Education Markets and Organisations (MEMO project is coordinated by HSE ISSEK Centre for Statistics and Monitoring of Education) and the Public Opinion Foundation.

There were just over 20% of such families five years ago.

At the same time, the proportion of families ready to support their children until they receive a master’s degree without relying on any money their children make has fallen to 27% from 34%. The share of families intending to support their children only during their primary and secondary education has gone practically unchanged over the last five years and fluctuates between 7% and 10%.

This data was obtained during a survey of Russian families with children aged 4-22 that was conducted in the autumn of 2013 as part of a joint project between the Monitoring of Education Markets and Organisations (MEMO) and the Public Opinion Foundation. The news bulletin for the research is planned to be published in the second half of 2014.
