Figure of the day: 63%

of Russian families with children are willing to support them until they receive a higher education without counting on them earning money. These data were obtained during a survey of Russian families with children younger than 25 years of age that was conducted in September 2015 as part of a Monitoring of Education Markets and Organizations (MEMO) study carried out jointly by the Higher School of Economics and the Public Opinion Foundation

30% of families are willing to support their children until they complete their undergraduate education, 30% until they complete a Master’s degree, and another 3% through postgraduate school. 

A newsletter highlighting the research is planned for publication in 2016.
