Population in the city of Novotroitsk

Possible reasons for the loss of residents
Novotroitsk belongs to the industrial cities of the Soviet "school", which were formed and developed rapidly in the Soviet period. With the changing situation in the country, the need for heavy industries decreased, and the nature of economic activity also changed. This naturally led to social and economic difficulties. There are quite a few similar cities in Russia; there are also in the USA. The largest of these is Detroit. Adapting them to new conditions is a rather difficult task that requires a thoughtful and competent approach.
The deteriorating economic situation is forcing residents, especially young people, to migrate to more prosperous regions of the country, which leads not only to a direct migration outflow, but also to a decrease in the birth rate, since mainly older generations remain, many of whom continue to work in enterprises. All of these cities are characterized by a convex population curve.

In Novotroitsk there are a large number of enterprises that are the basis for the formation of local employment. The social sphere and trade are poorly developed. Therefore, when moving to this city, experience in production is desirable.

The minimum wage here is higher than the base minimum wage rate, and is 12,837 rubles. Most vacancies provide for the payment of this particular amount. Complex and highly qualified specialties are paid higher. Moreover, the amount of payments sometimes reaches 30-35 thousand rubles. The most expensive (35 thousand rubles) was the vacancy of a mechanic for the repair of rolling stock.
Thus, not being a narrow specialist in the field of production, you can count on just 12,837 rubles.
Conclusion
Thus, the dynamics of the population over the past hundred years corresponds to the situation typical of depressed cities, and is associated with the passage of two main stages: prosperity and decline. This picture is also observed in other former Soviet cities, which were built to service industrial production, and then could not fit into the new economic realities. In the USA, a similar situation was in Detroit and other cities of the so-called "rust belt", as well as in some industrial cities in Germany. In general, the demographic situation in the city is not catastrophic, but if current trends continue and there is no support from the federal authorities, it can significantly worsen.
Salaries in the city are acceptable by Russian standards, but most of the vacancies relate specifically to work at enterprises, and not everyone will like it. With this picture, a further outflow of the population is inevitable in the labor market.
