Summary: | The paper presents the first ever demographic scenarios for the regions of Russia. Scenarios are developed for 49
oblasts (regions), six
krays (territories), 21 republics, one autonomous
oblast and two national cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Five scenarios are considered: two optimistic scenarios, two medium scenarios and one pessimistic scenario. The scenarios are combinations of three mortality scenarios, two fertility scenarios and three migration scenarios. Results and a discussion of the differences between the scenarios are presented for 11 economic-geographic regions. The main findings of the scenario analysis are:
1.
(a) the
population decline, which started in 1992, continues in all scenarios;
2.
(b)
aging of the population reaches unprecedented levels;
3.
(c) the
spatial redistribution of the population out of Siberia to the European part of Russia, in particular the southern regions (North Caucasus and the Volga Region), continues. |
