The demographic situation in the Altai Territory, its essence and possible solutions
For a long time, an unfavorable demographic situation has been formed in the Altai Territory. The population in the territory during the analyzed period has decreased from 2350,1 to 2296,4. In order to determine the priority areas of population policy and ensure the stabilization of the situation, a study is being carried out aimed at establishing the causes of the current situation and developing measures aimed at improving the circumstances that have arisen. As a part of the conducted studies of the demographic situation in the Altai Territory, the dynamics of the population for the period 2018 - 2020 are analyzed. Using the general scientific method of comparison, the place that the region occupies among other regions of the Siberian Federal District (including in the context of rural and urban population). To study the structure, composition of the region's inhabitants using a general scientific method - analysis, the main components of the deterioration of the demographic situation are identified. In particular, the main components of mortality increases are determined: reduction in the number of medical staff and the aging of the population. The key components of a decrease in fertility are identified in the work. These are a bad economic situation in the region and a decrease in the number of marriages. With the help of the scientific method, the main programs operating in the region in the field of demographic processes, such as "Older generation", "Promotion of women's employment", "Financial support for families at the birth of children" are formulated. Using economic modeling, an economic model is developed, which includes three blocks of measures: reducing the number of divorces, increasing the material well-being of large families, raising the prestige of family values, the purpose of which is to improve the demographic situation in the Altai Territory. In the research, the information base of the publications of Russian authors in the field of demographic processes was used. The works of Shakhov E.V., Kovalev I.V., Bondarenko N.A., Molchanov E.V. and many others were studied. In addition, analytical information from the official websites of departments and local authorities was used.
