According to various sources, the birth rate is less than 1.5 children
per one Russian woman, which is a direct symptom of depopulation or
extinction of the country's population. The minimum birth rate occurred in 2002, when Russian women reproduced 1.31 children each. Today, the influx of the population is created due to the traditionally large Muslim families from Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The demographic situation in Russia since 2002 at the time of the 2010 census worsened by 2.5 million people. Russia is the only country in which population decline has been observed over the past decade. If we consider the results of the 2010 census reliable (real facts indicate that the number of people is much less than the official results), then, given the existing conditions, by 2030 the number of Russians will drop to 100 million people.
The current demographic situation in Russia, subject to trends
its preservation will lead to the fact that by 2050 there will be
live no more than 90 million Russians. Simultaneous decline in fertility and
an increase in mortality (the so-called “Russian cross”) is found only in
the most backward countries in Africa and South Asia. This situation is taking place in Russia
against the backdrop of depopulation of the indigenous peoples of the country.
The catastrophic demographic situation in modern Russia is a consequence of a decrease in the birth rate below the simple level of population reproduction. The current birth rate is still far from the conditions necessary for the survival of Russia. In order to ensure stable population growth, every woman should have at least 2.3-2.6 children. In modern conditions, when no citizen can be sure of their future, such indicators are impossible. The rapid outflow of capital and human resources from the Russian Federation indicates that the country is becoming unsuitable for civilized living. According to some reports, at least 15 million Russians live outside the Russian Federation. This is the most active and energetic part of society, which does not agree to put up with the current regime in the country. The demographic situation in the Russian Federation is fundamentally different from what has been happening in the country for many millennia. Just recently, large Russian families were not a wonder. Moreover, such families were not synonymous with poor education of children and poverty. In the period from 1800 to 1900. (despite high infant mortality) the population of Russia more than doubled.
Depopulation in Russia began after the collapse of the USSR and now amounts to about 0.65%. The demographic situation in Russia has no analogues in
the world. Despite the fact that the birth rate is falling everywhere, including countries such as
China and India, such super-mortality as in our camp, are not observed anywhere. Experts believe that the demographic situation in Russia is a low profitability of childcare, when children are not able to provide their parents with old age. The birth and upbringing of a child is associated with poverty and deprivation. The state not only does not help in the upbringing and development of children, but also in every possible way prevents this by destroying kindergartens, sports grounds and educational institutions. Young people brought up on dubious television broadcasts do not seek to get an education and find a job. They become an overwhelming burden for their elderly parents, who are forced to feed them on their beggarly retirement.
Unlike Russia, in developed countries, children are a source of wealth, so women are willing to give birth, feeling the support of the state. For normal civilized countries, a family with 3-4 children is not a sign of heroism. There are no signs to change the situation in Russia, so parents should take care of their old age on their own. The death rate in Russia is still higher than the birth rate, so every future pensioner must create a “safety cushion” for himself.
