Factors of regional differentiation of indicators of population reproduction in russia

The paper shows regional differentiation between federal districts with regard to indicators of Russia’s natural reproduction of the population and the country’s domestic and foreign migration. Using economic equations based on panel data for 78 federal subjects over 2003–2011, significant factors have been identified that affect birth and death rates as well as life expectancy in Russia. The obtained quantitative estimates appear to be of special interest. In particular, rising living standards and increasing availability of housing have had a positive impact on the birth rate. One of the main reasons for having fewer children in Russia is the low standard of living, which fails to meet current needs.This suggests the special significance of social programs for the support of young families. The major decrease in the birth rate observed for an increasing proportion of the urban population highlights the need to support and develop rural areas located around major cities. The obtained estimates show that the figures of natural reproduction for ethnic Russians are below the country’s average. Alcohol abuse reduces life expectancy by an average of 1.59 years, and unfavorable climatic conditions, by an average of 0.47 years, as compared with life expectancy for the favorable Black Sea climate
