Russia's population continues to decrease. How do they solve this problem?

Due to the declining birth rate, the Russian population is decreasing by nearly 6.5438+0 million people every year. It is predicted that the Russian population may be reduced by half within 50 years.

According to the figures released by the Russian National Statistical Office recently, the population decreased by 0.3% in the first seven months of 2005, and now the population of Russia is 654.38+44.5 million. However, compared with 55438+ 10 month in June, the number of people in August decreased by 506,000, with an average annual decrease of nearly 1 10,000.

Population experts explained that small rural cities and indigenous communities are disappearing, but big cities have not got rid of this trend, and only immigrants can maintain the population. A study by the National Bureau of Statistics shows that in the worst case, the population of Russia may drop to 77 million in 2050, and the most optimistic estimate is 654.38+22.6 million. It is likely to drop by 30%, that is, to 1.05438+0 billion people. A study conducted by the United Nations agrees with the latter's estimate. One of the reasons for this situation is economic problems. Various regions of Russia are going through a difficult stage. Due to the lack of investment and infrastructure, sometimes the whole city has no water or the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius, and there is no heating.

In addition, due to the new way of life, Russia is experiencing the same changes as the population of western European countries. The number of children in the family has decreased, and large families are unnecessary. Unlike eastern European countries, Russia cannot replace the lack of children with immigrants, and no one wants to move to a country with few job opportunities.

Anatoly, head of the Moscow Population Center, said that from the 1960s to 1992, the birth rate kept the population stable, but now more people die than are born every year. Russian women have an average of 1.2 children. In order to maintain the current population level, this proportion should be raised to 2.2. But so far, although the government has promised to provide economic benefits for large families, it has failed to persuade people to have more children.
