Since the origin of mankind, society is facing two major problems regarding subsistence of human population; birth and its control. Low reproductive norms could not be avoided in any modern society, and therefore the circumstances on our localities did not record positive changes in the system of increased birth, as well as in stimulation of young women in reproductive age to contribute the demographic recovery of the country, on the individual level. We are facing with the fact that the economic cost of parenting is increasing in line with the modern system of social values which in terms of depopulation can be very unfavorable for the survival of future generations. Besides economic instability, low reproductive norms are affected by incompatibility of work and parenting, lack of free time for child care, short time of maternity leave, the size of housing, unemployment and many other factors. According to Glas, children should be bought by the actual price, considering that is necessary to reduce the economic cost of parenthood. The research was based on the questionnaire, which was consisted of questions regarding the level of informing on demographic situation in the Republic of Srpska, birth control methods, the most commonly used methods, what is the current and optimal number of children they wish to have, and whether, is there a measure which could contribute to the solution of reproductive problems. The survey was conducted on the women in reproductive age, up to 40 years old.
