Abstract

The article examines the demographic situation since 1989. until 2022. Today the demographic situation looks much worse than in the neighboring republics of the North Caucasus. The dynamics of population decline tends to increase annually. Migration processes and employment are the main key problems in the republic. Based on the current demographic picture, as well as the disappointing forecast of the Federal State Statistics Service of the «estimated population size» until 2036 (a decrease of 6.1% relative to 2022) according to the average option, we believe that in this case the influence of socio-economic development the natural and mechanical movement of the population is evident. In our opinion, to stabilize the demographic situation in the medium term, an effective demographic policy, taking into account regional characteristics (culture, traditions, family customs), with a transition from extensive forms of management to intensive ones, is necessary.

Keywords: population economics, demography, demographic policy, socio-economic development, migration, unemployment.
