POPULATION OF PENZA REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF TASKS OF THE NATIONAL PROJECT "DEMOGRAPHY"
The implemented demographic policy of the state gives a certain positive result, which is confirmed by statistics. However, due to objective reasons, the demographic situation is again exacerbated in individual regions, to which the Penza region can be ranked. On November 28, 2017, at a meeting of the Coordinating Council for the implementation of the National Strategy for Children, the president noted: “... Today we need to take a set of measures that will stabilize and prevent a decrease in the population of Russia in the coming decade. Here we need active consistent work in all areas: both to reduce mortality and to stimulate fertility - in fact, we need to reload our policy of demographic development. " Therefore, it was no coincidence that the National Project “Demography” arose, designed to ensure a unified approach to the implementation of national goals and strategic objectives in the field of demography. The National Project set nine tasks from “introducing a mechanism for financial support to families at birth” to “creating conditions for all categories and groups of people to engage in physical education and sports, mass sports, including increasing the level of provision of the population with sports facilities and preparing a sports reserve ".
