In continuing Markova's line of thought that developing human capital should be a top priority for Russia, what can be done to help orphans contribute more so that they are not a drain on national resources? The argument is that Russia as of 2008 has 731,000 orphans, 587,000 handicapped, and 676,000 children at risk. That puts the number at just under 2 million for a 29 million population. At just under 7%, the social burden is high. Then what are the numbers of youth aged 15-29 that are not functioning normally? Although an overlap of 15-18 and a separate group for statistics, what is that total cost for Russia. having good normal families is one part, and currently I am going with mentoring as a doable model for the others. What an enormous task!
