Population Dynamics in Moscow over the Past 140 Years
The article is devoted to the analysis of the population dynamics in Moscow from 1871 to 2010. The contribution of the natural population movement and migration inflow to the population size was defined on the basis of census data and statistical records. Furthermore, the population growth in consequence of the city expansion was shown. Migration stocks of the population were evaluated using both statistical records and the demographic balance method. The quality of the migration statistics during the inter-census periods is evaluated in this paper.
