INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES OF DEMOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN CAPITAL OF THE REGION
Russian demographers believe that, despite the efforts of the authorities, the processes, showing the negative demographic dynamics in the country, go on. Administrative innovations in the field of demography have short-term effects. This article considers the region in the demographic dimension, presented by a set of households / families. Family is defined as the subject of human capital formation at the micro level. An important factor is the currently observed transformation of the traditional family model. The core of the family is eroded, there is a redistribution of its aggregate income, labor, responsibility for upbringing and socialization of children. Marital and reproductive behaviors of women are changing. On the basis of empirical data from implemented in the Republic of Karelia economic and sociological studies and strategic documents an institutional analysis of the demographic development of the region has been carried out. The urgent demand for a new model of demographic development, which is based on the principles of institutional demographics, is substantiated because methodologically it corresponds to the specifics of such a management object as a region.
