Economic factors in the demography of Russian regions (2017–2023)

The subject of the study is permanent population of the regions of Russia on average for 2017–2023.The topic of the study is economic factors of fertility, mortality and migration of the population of the regions of Russia on average for this period. The purpose of the study is to identify and justify the presence or absence of relationships between the economic and demographic characteristics of the population of the regions of Russia according to data on average for 2017–2023. Research methods — demographic statistical analysis. The source of statistics for calculations is Rosstat. Results and conclusions of the study show that at the level of Russian regions, the connection between migration and economic factors is weak. A moderate connection is visible only between migration and housing prices. The more economically developed the region, the more attractive it is for migrants, and the higher the housing prices in it. Due to similar circumstances, a moderate connection is visible between migration and the mortality indicator — life expectancy at birth (LE). In economically developed regions of Russia, the life expectancy, determined by the standard and conditions of life, is higher than in economically less developed regions (with the exception of North Caucasus republics). The links between life expectancy and direct economic factors are moderate and negatively directed. This is largely explained by high wages and incomes — in the outlying northern regions of Russia from the European North to the Far East. In most of these territories, the life expectancy is low, which is associated not only with the severity of the climate, poorly developed road and social infrastructure, but also with the peculiarities of the way of life of the indigenous peoples of these regions. The relationship betweenlife expectancy and housing prices, as well as the relationship between life expectancy and the total fertility rate, is practically absent at the regional level. The relationships between the TFR and direct economic factors are moderate, but, unlike life expectancy, positively directed.
