Reformation of modern Dagestan society has directly affected the sphere of family and marriage. Transformations specific to the family and marriage sphere reflect in the reproductive function of the family and actualize the need to study reproductive processes and factors that have positive and negative influence on the family and family behavior. Ignoring the problems of the family and marriage sphere and deterioration of the principles of reproductive behavior have contributed to negative trends in the family institution. The article deals with reproductive behavior and attitudes of the Dagestan peoples, presents sociological measurement of actual reproductive behavior of mothers, refers to the factors that affect increase and decrease in birth rate, shows changes in the planning of a future family peculiar to modern Dagestan society. The study has revealed various reproductive attitudes peculiar to Dagestan peoples. At the same time, social factors have a huge impact on the process of planning the desired and available number of children, and decrease in the birth rate in modern Dagestan society acquires the status of a socio-cultural problem. Besides, there is a tendency to deterioration of family and marriage values and destruction of the foundations of the traditional family. In the mass consciousness and behavior of the Dagestan peoples, there is orientation toward “having children” during the first years after marriage. However, a certain number of respondents belong to a “career” type of the family, financial and educational status and career are more important for them than the family and family values.
