Abstract
Based on the calculated sex and age indicators of marriage in the Russian Federation for the inter-census period (2011–2021) with the account of the results of the All-Russian Population Census-2020, territorial differences in marriage at the level of federal districts and regions of the Russian Federation were identified. By means of the index method, contribution of the age-related marriage rates of men and women and the age and sex structure of the population to changes in the total marriage rate was assessed. To study the intensity of marriage in Russia, the age and sex structure of population was studied, and time series of the age rates of marriage, total marriage rates were calculated as the sum of the age marriage rates for men and women in the active age of marriage (from 16 to 60 years), including first and repeated marriages, average age of grooms and brides in federal district and regions of Russia.There was examined the gender gap in age marriage rates at the level of federal districts and the RF subjects and its contribution to the total marriage rates. The total marriage rate of women exceeds that of men due to the higher first marriage rate of women, possibly due to the fact that men often enter into the first and second marriage with women who have not been married before. It is found out that the progressive increase in the average age of brides and grooms in Russia is mainly due to an increase in the age of first marriages, rather than remarriage of widows or divorced persons. During the inter-census period, a slight decrease in first marriages was recorded for both men and women, as well as a significant decrease in remarriages of men and their convergence with the model of remarriage of women that has not changed.
