[On fertility of female population of large-scale industrial agglomeration of cities of the Irkutsk Oblast].

Abstract

The article considers the most important demographic indicator of natural movement of population - the natality. The dynamics of age-specific fertility of female population residing industrial highly urbanized areas of the region is demonstrated. The increase of total fertility was established. The dynamics of common and standardized coefficients of age-specific fertility of female population revealed process of aging (motherhood). However, the cleared, accurate net-coefficient of population reproduction indicates that positive dynamics of general, age-specific fertility ensures only simple character of population reproduction in city of Angarsk. The population of cities of Irkutsk and Shelekhov remains in narrowed character of population reproduction. The special coefficients of fertility make it possible to obtain accurate age-specific qualitative characteristic of fertility of female population and to forecast demographic situation in the region.
