Over the period 1991–2002, the number of pre-school educational establishments in Russia more than halved (from 87,600 to 48,900, i.e., a decrease of 56%). The waiting list of children wishing to enroll at kindergartens reached 913,000 in 2005, in comparison to 805,000 in 2004 and 238,000 in 2000. Up to 40% of mothers are forced to choose between children and work.
The accessibility of pre-school establishments is an important precondition allowing women to combine family and job responsibilities, as set down by CEDAW, the Beijing Platform for Action, and the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
