Abstract

The article deals with the problem of the product intake limitation in families with children. The work emphasizes that the population nutrition problem has important social significance and refers to the global categories that play an important role in ensuring the quality and length of human life and health. Therefore, the given problem is studied not only in the scope of medical science, but also can be presented in the social and economic aspect. Practice shows that the state of child nutrition in families with a low income does not match the medical and biological standards ratified in the modern society. A common family often gets into a category of such households, where with the birth of children, especially if there are several children, the family life level rapidly decreases. The article provides the analysis of alimentary and energy value of nutrition in all the observed family types. It is emphasized that the nutritive value of food-stuff in households with one or two children is much higher than in large ones. Food ration within its nutrients in families with children does not correspond to the living wage. There is a strong tendency of increasing a part of budget expenses of big families on food and reducing the health maintenance and educational expenses. Moreover, an increase in the amount of children redoubles the tendency. Thus, nutrition quality is higher in families with one child than in large households
