Abstract
The subject of the study is reproduction of the permanent population of Russian regions as a whole for 1992–2024 and its main components. The object is permanent population of Russian regions as a whole. The purpose of the study is to identify among all regions of Russia as a whole for 33 years the groups that are typical in terms of the relative parameters of population reproduction in them and in terms of their components — factors of this process. Research methods — demographic statistical analysis, construction of relative indicators for a correct interregional comparison. The source of statistics for calculations is Rosstat data. Research results: Russian regions ranked according to the relative level of population reproduction — the vitality index and its components — factors. 7 groups of territories were identified, of which only one did not experience depopulation for 33 years. The remaining groups include regions from the most demographically disadvantaged to those teetering on the brink of depopulation and natural increase. Components — factors explain the current situation in each of the groups. Regions with a high level of socio-economic development compensate for the natural losses with interregional and foreign migration, replenishing their gender and age structure primarily with young population, and the level of depopulation in them is moderate. Other territories of the Russian Federation, losing their young population through migration, only exacerbate the depopulation. The «mild» level of depopulation in Asian Russia is explained, among other things, by the low proportion of the population aged 65 and older. One of the factors for this is a significant outflow of the population of working age and retirement age, especially in the 1990s.
Keywords:
