The article reveals the problem of studying the value orientations and aspects of the culture of reproductive behavior among students as determinants underlying a conscious attitude towards parenthood and family. Due to the fact that the modern demographic situation is undergoing significant transformations, namely, the younger generation is experiencing such negative trends as postponing the birth of children and starting their own family. These patterns of behavior certainly have a negative impact on the reproductive health of students, increase the risk of reproductive diseases, and lead to communication problems with the opposite sex and emotional stress. The aim of the study is to determine the psychological readiness for parenthood and value orientations of college-age boys and girls.
