Rural Population of the Republic of Kalmykia: the Main Demographic Trends
https://doi.org/10.22162/2500-1523-2017-10-208-216
Abstract
The article considers the main demographic trends through the prism of analysis of statistical data on Kalmykia’s rural population. One major trend is the rural population’s decline, and the process is more intense than that in the city. The data on the distribution of the population throughout the districts of the republic show a sufficiently large population density in the naturally and climatically favorable territories as well as the district adjacent to the capital of the region. Studies of the age structure of the rural population indicated a reduction in the proportion of children aged 14 and below. One favorable trend is a growth in the expected lifespan of rural dwellers though it is still consistently shorter than that of urban residents.
