Демографические процессы в России как политическая проблема

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to identify and analyze the political consequences of demographic processes in Russia. The methodological basis of the study is indicative analysis, with the help of which it was possible to identify the main demographic factors that have the greatest impact on the political system of the Russian Federation. This influence was considered through the prism of the demographic security of the state. To assess it, 24 indicators were used, divided into three groups: indicators of the size and location of the population (1), indicators of population structure (2), indicators of population health (3). The author has formed a system of threshold values for each indicator, and based on the data of state and international statistics, which cover the period 1990–2020, the dynamics of indicators of demographic security in Russia is analyzed. The multifaceted nature of demographic security has become the reason for the use of an integral assessment (internment of particular indicators into a single index), which represents a numerical assessment of a certain part of the demographic situation in the country. As a result, integral assessments of Russia's demographic security over the past 30 years were calculated and their impact on the political sphere was analyzed. The practical significance of the work lies in the developed system of indicators of demographic security, which makes it possible to carry out a full analysis of the state of the demographic situation of the country and / or regions and to identify the most priority areas for demographic policy in Russia.
