Dynamics of private households in which from 2002 to 2020 lived one person

Against the backdrop of the current demographic situation in Russia today, the state faces the urgent task of developing and implementing measures aimed at increasing the population capable of ensuring defense capability, internal security and effective economic development of our country. In order to study the dynamics of private households in the federal districts of the Russian Federation, in which from 2002 to 2020 lived only one person, there were used analytical, logical, and statistical methods. The initial data on the dynamics of population and the number of households on the territory of the Russian Federation was taken from the data of the All-Russian Population Census of 2002, 2010 and 2020 published on the official website of Rosstat. The study found that the number of single-person private households increased by 135.3% from 2002 to 2020. The share of the working age population living in them in 2020 was 57.4% (15850101 people). A significant portion of these individuals have the potential to create new families and have children. Therefore, this reserve should be considered as a priority direction in the family and demographic policy of the state, since throughout the entire historical development of mankind, the family has been an invariable value and to this day retains special significance in society. The main form of work with this population, especially young people, is developing in them a respectful attitude towards family and strengthening family values. This will be facilitated by declaring 2024 the «Year of the Family» in Russia.
