The age structure of the population plays a special role in the formation of the family. Equality of the proportions of men and women in the population, ie proportionality, creates favorable conditions for their marriage and divorce

(divorce), births, deaths and migration, but always the share of men and women in society. i is not equal.

The sexual composition of young people, especially 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 age groups, plays a special role in increasing the number of families. Because the population mainly gets married at this age. In Kashkadarya region, the total number of births in 2019 was 62,292, of which 29,526 were girls and 32,766 were boys. The highest birth rates are among parents of the above age groups.

As of January 1, 2018, the average age of the population of Kashkadarya region is 27.2 for women, 26.2 for men, the total average age is 26.7, the average age of women in the urban population is 28.2, 27.2 for men. , the total average age was 27.7 years, the average age of the rural population was 26.4 years for women, 25.5 years for men, and the average age of the total rural population was 26.0 years. According to the State Statistics Committee, the population of Kashkadarya region in 2010-2018 decreased by 9.4% in the 10-14 age group, and by 12.5% in the 15-19 age group.

These figures can also be seen in the gender composition of the population in these age groups. In other words, the number of women in the 10-14 age group decreased by 9.6%, the number of men by 9.2%, and the number of men in the 1519 age group by 12.9% and 12.1%, respectively. The main reasons for this are that during these years, not only men but also women among the active migrants in Kashkadarya region have moved to Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other countries of the world as labor force or for permanent residence. Chibs also did not fail to show their negative impact on the formation of age and gender indicators in the yudor. As a result, the rapidly growing population has shrunk. In urban and rural areas, which are considered to be the most populated areas, it can be seen that in previous years there were more people aged 10-14 and 15-19 than in the period under study.

If the proportion of young people in the population, ie in the age group of 20-29, is high, it will lead to the emergence of new families and an increase in the number of families. Analyzing the data of the Statistics Committee, the number of permanent population aged 20-29 in the following regions of the country increased from 6142.9 thousand in 2012 to 6280.8 thousand in 2017 or 2.2% over the past 6 years. During this period, the number of people aged 20-29 in the Republic of Karakalpakstan (5.3%), Bukhara (0.3%), Navoi (0.5%), Kashkadarya (3.0%), Tashkent regions (3.4%) and in Tashkent (10.2%). All this has affected the migration of the republic to the world as a labor force, not only in Kashkadarya region, but also in neighboring regions. In this case, the above regions have become active participants in the migration process, which is in the final stages of demographic processes when it comes to the age of marriage and demographic processes (marriage, birth). Therefore, if we analyze by years, since 2015 in Kashkadarya region began to decrease the number of permanent residents aged 2029 (in 2018 their number in the region decreased by 0.5% compared to 2015, and by 0.7% compared to 2016).
