Demographic situation in a region

The paper analyzes the statistical data on the demographic situation in the Vladimir Region in comparison with the data on Russia as a whole. Both positive (increase in the birth rate and decrease in the overall mortality) and negative trends (natural decline in population, increase in the average age of residents in the area) are observed. The results of sociological research on reproductive strategies of the population are considered. A conclusion is drawn that a qualitative review of measures to implement the demographic concept of the Vladimir Region is necessary since the measures taken by the region's leaders to remedy the situation do not bring significant changes.
