Reproduction of population in Russia's regions

Abstract

The problem of regional differentiation in reproductive performance level of urban and rural population of Russia on the basis of the total fertility rate and gross and net reproductive performance rates is considered. The dependence of the population reproductive performance level on ethnic and geographic factors (distance from the center of the territory) is grounded. Also, based on the concepts of demographic transition from fertility-limiting access to family planning and mortality from non-regulated to control the risk of mortality, based on the egalitarian and more flexible systems of health care, cultural self-preservation behavior and psychosomatic well-being of populations, the influence of migration transition, or "mobility migration" applied to different regions of Russia is revealed. In addition to the total reproductive performance rate in the territories, calculations are gross and net ratios for specific territories of Russia with the release of the reproductive situation in urban and rural areas, are presented.
