Demographic Maps

A number of demographic patterns and dynamics have been analysed over the course of the project in an effort to capture processes at work across the Russian state. These factors have included patterns of population growth/decline, migration, mortality, fertility, morbidity, age structures/dependency ratio and so on. For a full discussion of the consequences of demographic changes, in particular from a security perspective, please see the working paper The Regional Consequences of Russia's Demographic Crisis.

Population Maps

Subjects/Regions
Patterns of population density, growth and decline, migration and demographic typologies in Russia's 89 federal subjects.

Raions
Patterns of population density, growth and decline in 1916 administrative raions, both Russia-wide and within each of Russia’s seven federal districts.

Cities (urban/rural)
Patterns of population distribution, growth and decline in Russia’s major cities (those with populations numbering over 100,000), within regional capitals, and in terms of rural/urban distinctions.

Mortality and Morbidity Maps

Mortality and Morbidity
Life expectancy, crude death rates (deaths per 1000 population), infant mortality and changes therein, and HIV/AIDS prevalence, in Russia’s 89 federal subjects.

Fertility Maps

Fertility
Total fertility rates (the number of children the average woman will have over her life time), crude birth rates (births per 1000 population), and changes therein, in Russia’s 89 federal subjects.

Age Structure and Dependency Ratio Maps

Age Structure and Dependency
Population age distributions (above, below and of working age) and dependency ratios (elderly, youth and total) and changes therein, in Russia’s 89 federal subjects.
