At the present stage of Russian society development, scientific understanding of the new demographic realities, their comprehensive analysis in order to stabilize the reproductive processes in the regions and to develop a socially sound concept of regional socio-economic development are necessary. Population is an essential prerequisite for the existence of social production and the development of its social forms. The obvious need to take into account the demographic factor in the development of education, health care, services, housing construction, solving employment problems. Depopulation is a fait accompli in the most Russian regions' demographic history. Depopulation processes allow us to talk about the crisis form of regional demographic development.
