Abstract

The article examines the problem of abortion among minors, which is of extremely important socio-demographic importance and affects the interests of the state, society, family and the youngest woman. The purpose of the study is to study and analyze the situation of abortion among minors in the Russian Federation. It is noted that the maximum prevention of abortions among minors is a task of particular importance, requiring broad measures of an educational and explanatory nature, improving lifestyle, as well as a key direction in the health protection strategy not only for adolescents and young people, but also for the population as a whole.Having identified the range of problems facing young mothers, it can be concluded that the program to help them should be aimed at the minors themselves, their families, education, medicine, social protection of the population and the media. At the same time, the social, economic, legal, medical, psychological and pedagogical consequences of these phenomena require significant financial expenditures of the state to eliminate them.It seems that only an integrated approach and the use of modern means of education and medical prevention in solving the problem of sexual education and education of adolescents will allow us to obtain positive results. If successfully implemented, it will lead to the strengthening of the nation's health, a significant reduction in the ever-increasing threat of sexually transmitted diseases, early abortions and young motherhood.
