The Russian Tripartite Commission, which includes the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, and the Russian Federation of Independent Trade Unions, recommended that employers provide support to employees with family responsibilities. The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a theoretical and methodological approach for identifying corporate measures targeting employees’ families that are attractive from the perspectives of different stakeholders: employers, public authorities, and employees. The study hypothesizes that such measures can be identified through a multidimensional assessment by the working population. The analysis was based on a survey of working-age individuals in three federal districts: Ural, Siberian, and Northwestern. The sample included 2,520 respondents, with 840 from each federal district, and each district represented by five regions. Survey data were standardized, weighted, and analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The study shows that the top three measures most attractive to employers vary significantly across federal districts, while the set of measures most attractive to public authorities remains consistent. Within each federal district, there is a strong positive correlation between perceived external prestige and the potential demographic impact of measures, with an average correlation also observed with the prevalence of measures in the regions. These findings can inform regional efforts to design and promote measures supporting employees’ families, contributing to an expanded legislative framework for socially responsible business. Future work will focus on developing a methodology for the integrated assessment of the effectiveness of these measures’ implementation.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>2024 г. в России стал знаковым с точки зрения переосмысления важности включения института бизнеса в поддержку государственной политики, направленной на рост рождаемости. Российская трехсторонняя комиссия (Министерство труда и социальной защиты РФ, Российский союз промышленников и предпринимателей, Федерация независимых профсоюзов России) рекомендовала работодателям поддерживать работников с семейными обязанностями. Цель исследования состоит в разработке и реализации теоретико-методического подхода к выявлению направленных на семьи работников корпоративных мер, привлекательных с позиций разных групп интересантов (работодателей, органов публичного управления, работников). Гипотеза исследования предполагает возможность выявления таких мер на основе их разносторонней оценки работающим населением. Анализ проводился на основе опроса работающего населения репродуктивного возраста в трех федеральных округах — УрФО, СФО, СЗФО (октябрь 2024 г., объем выборочной совокупности — 2520 чел., по 840 чел. в федеральном округе, каждый из которых представлен пятью субъектами РФ). Данные были стандартизированы, взвешены, для анализа использовались описательные статистики и корреляционный анализ. Результаты исследования таковы: наиболее привлекательная для работодателей тройка мер, ориентированных на семьи работников, в разрезе федеральных округов заметно различается, при этом набор мер, наиболее привлекательных для органов государственного управления, одинаков; внутри каждого федерального округа выявлена сильная положительная корреляция между воспринимаемым внешним престижем и потенциальной демографической результативностью мер, средняя — между этими параметрами и распространенностью мер в регионах. Результаты могут быть использованы при формировании и продвижении регионами набора мер, направленных на семьи работников, расширении законодательной базы о социально ответственном бизнесе. В дальнейшем планируется разработка методики интегральной оценки эффективности их внедрения.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>demographic policy</kwd><kwd>corporate demographic measures</kwd><kwd>family-friendly policy</kwd><kwd>perceived external prestige</kwd><kwd>potential demographic performance</kwd><kwd>corporate citizenship</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>демографическая политика, корпоративные демографические меры, корпоративная демографическая политика, воспринимаемый внешний престиж, потенциальная демографическая результативность, корпоративная гражданственность</kwd><kwd>демографическая политика</kwd><kwd>корпоративные демографические меры</kwd><kwd>корпоративная демографическая политика</kwd><kwd>воспринимаемый внешний престиж</kwd><kwd>потенциальная демографическая результативность</kwd><kwd>корпоративная гражданственность</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body/><back><ack xml:lang="en"><p>This work is supported by the Russian Science Foundation under grant № 24-18-00854, https://rscf.ru/project/24-18-00854/.</p></ack><ack xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда № 24-18-00854, https://rscf.ru/project/24-18-00854/.</p></ack><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Александрова, О.
