Mortality of Murmansk regional employable population in 2017-2021 years

Improving of the demographic situation in Russian Arctic regions, necessary due to significant loss of their populations in recent years, has become a strategically important task now. In connection with this the value of statistical data on population dynamics has increased significantly. Recent changes in these indicators are analyzed on the example of Murmansk region, whose high military-industrial potential, jointly with rich natural resources, represent the key factors for security of the entire Russian Federation. According to the results of a comprehensive study of regional population movement characteristics, it was found that the overall slowdown of the growth rate in 2017-2018 was mainly determined by migration processes, and in 2019-2021, by natural decline. The differences of the main causes of mortality of Murmansk regional population in comparison with Russian Federation as a whole are revealed. The nosological structure of mortality is described.
