Abstract

Over the past three decades, demographic processes in the Russian Federation and the Far East have undergone a significant transformation. For the Far East, the main trends have been a decrease in the population, its natural and migration decline, and vice versa, an increase in the mortality rate of the population of working age. Pandemic of coronavirus infection in the region in 2020–2021 was accompanied by an increase in the mortality rate of the population, an increasing natural decline in the population and a decrease in life expectancy.

The Khabarovsk Territory in terms of most demographic indicators (population density, birth rate, total birth rate and infant mortality) occupies a middle position between the Russian Federation and the Far Eastern Federal District. At the same time, in terms of mortality, the region has indicators higher than the average for the Russian Federation and the Far Eastern Federal District, and in terms of life expectancy, on the contrary, it is lower than in the Russian Federation and the Far Eastern Federal District.

All this creates risks for solving the geostrategic task of increasing the number and securing the population in the Far East.

This article is devoted to the assessment of demographic processes in the Russian Federation, the Far Eastern Federal District and the Khabarovsk Territory for 2010–2022.
