Russia's population declines for the first time in ten years

6
Crisis phenomena in the economy, anti-Russian sanctions of the West and social policyin which the main burden of the situation is shifted to the poor, all this makes itself felt and leads to negative consequences. For the first time in the last ten years, a tendency toward a decrease in the population of Russia has been noticed.



Agency Interfaxreferring to Rosstat, cited data as of January 1, according to which 146 million 793,7 thousand people live in Russia. A year ago, there were 86,7 thousand more citizens living in the country.

Against this background, however, the population of the Russian capital is growing. So, if last year 12 million 506,5 thousand people lived in Moscow, then this year - 12 million 630,3 thousand (this, however, may be associated not only with the ratio of fertility and mortality, but with migration processes). The opposite situation is noted in Siberia.

Meanwhile, the Russian media a few days ago raised the topic that over the previous 11 months, 200 thousand more Russians died than they were born. In addition, our country is in the top ten of the world ranking of mortality due to poor nutrition. This rating was made by scientists from Germany.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova noted that the trend of population decline can be reversed no earlier than in 2023.

The last time a reduction in the country's population was observed more than ten years ago - in 2008.

    Still, I hope that the situation will change, in the summer there were so many expectant mothers with tummies ....
    It would be interesting to learn in more detail what sense the Germans put into the concept of poor nutrition. And of course, the most important thing: what does good nutrition mean? And then, after all, we’re eating without hesitation ... Oh, I somehow would have tried to make the right menu for homework .... recourse

    Against this background, however, the population of the Russian capital is growing.

    It is high time to disperse the government across regions, and to force large enterprises to register at the place of main production. Regional and local taxes related to labor should go at the place of residence and the main social loads of the employee, not the employer. The current system leads to a stratification of regions by income. Most are in poverty, only a few are donors. At the same time, the main production is concentrated just in the province. Attempts to set up market mechanisms have so far yielded nothing positive. Moscow is crazy about excess money, and Chelyabinsk, for example, the last horseradish without salt eats up and loses its last attractiveness for life. What kind of demography is there? Some are not going to give birth at any payment, others are sleeping and see how, against the background of outright indifference, the authorities are being removed from Russia. So much for the demographic hole.

      Our family lives in St. Petersburg. With great pleasure wink looked in the summer at young mothers with 2, or even with 3 children. Moreover, it is clear that this is not the wife of the oligarchs. We have a sleeping area, a lot of greenery. In the squares, parks, they walked. Or we drove in our city transport to more beautiful places, united. In a tram, minibus, with wheelchairs. And all the passengers looked approvingly! love

        It is interesting about Novgorod. Payments at birth. Only up to 30 years old ??? “After 30 years, women don’t need money” I don’t even understand.

    All 90th and 2000th percent of the 90 pseudo-population growth in Russia occurred due to migrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia, while the Russians who moved for five years or more cannot receive Russian citizenship.
    The indigenous peoples and, first of all, the Russians, since the beginning of the 90s, have been steadily losing a million each, and all this is largely due to the anti-popular and largely criminal policy, when oligarchs and officials plunder and take out "over the hill" a good half of the country's budget, when for maintenance. the army of "thieving and arrogant officials is allocated more funds than for medicine and health care combined."
    When, instead of developing their economy, most of the petrodollars "work" for American companies, and the real unemployment in Russia among young people is 30 percent or more.
    "Thanks" to the optimization carried out by officials, tens of thousands of schools, polyclinics and FAPs were closed.
    Who, under such conditions, decides to give birth and raise many children, a maximum of one child, or if there are very few means of having a cat ...

    From all over Russia, it is not possible to work for Chechnya only, not to pay for gas, electricity and other utilities and utilities, and at the same time to receive huge subsidies from the budget for 15 years.

    In what normal country is this still possible, the theater of the absurd continues and nothing changes until 24 years old .....

      Give an example in numbers, please! And also, show from what places these petrodollars flowed out (excise taxes, taxes, profits of enterprises working in the oil industry, etc.)? Here many people move the Himalayas in language. What exactly do you have to say?
