Transformation of demographic processes in Yakutia

Transformation of demographic processes in Yakutia Analysis of transformational changes in the reproduction of the population of Yakutia shows that significant changes in sources of population reproduction took place. A high natural population increase remains due to high birth rates. However, it does not compensate for the migration outflow. The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) has been losing its population in recent decades; the rate of negative net migration is two times larger than in the Far Eastern Federal District. The result is a decrease in population. Owing to modern state demographic policy measures to support families with children, the region has seen fairly high of overall fertility and birth rates. However, despite their growth, population reproduction has not reached the level of the expanded mode. A characteristic feature of the transformation processes is a high rate of nonmarital births, which assesses the degree of proliferation of new forms of matrimonial behavior in the population of the region. One of the most significant problems in Yakutia’s demographic development is a high mortality rate and low life expectancy. An essential characteristic of the modern processes of mortality is high mortality from external causes, especially among men. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Regional Research of Russia Springer Journals

Abstract

Analysis of transformational changes in the reproduction of the population of Yakutia shows that significant changes in sources of population reproduction took place. A high natural population increase remains due to high birth rates. However, it does not compensate for the migration outflow. The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) has been losing its population in recent decades; the rate of negative net migration is two times larger than in the Far Eastern Federal District. The result is a decrease in population. Owing to modern state demographic policy measures to support families with children, the region has seen fairly high of overall fertility and birth rates. However, despite their growth, population reproduction has not reached the level of the expanded mode. A characteristic feature of the transformation processes is a high rate of nonmarital births, which assesses the degree of proliferation of new forms of matrimonial behavior in the population of the region. One of the most significant problems in Yakutia’s demographic development is a high mortality rate and low life expectancy. An essential characteristic of the modern processes of mortality is high mortality from external causes, especially among men.
