DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MUNICIPAL ENTITY IN MOSCOW REGION AT THE BEGINNING OF XXI CENTURY (ON AN EXAMPLE OF DOMODEDOVO TOWN)

Aim. Comparative analysis of the official statistical data on the demographic processes in the Moscow region and Domodedovo town for 2000-2018. Materials and Methods. Acquisition and analysis of the demographic processes in the Moscow region and Domodedovo town was performed on the basis of the data of Federal Service of State Statistics, Medical Information Analytical Center of Moscow region and sites of respective organizations. Statistical processing of the data included calculation of the arithmetic mean, percentage of the values, economico-demographic burden on the population of the working age, demographic coefficients and the extent of economical efficiency of the population growth. Results. The population of the Moscow region increased by 13.2% from 2000 to 2018, and that of Domodedovo by 123.9%. The rapid growth of the population of Domodedovo is directly related to migration. The population in the Moscow region in 2018 included 53.7% of women and 46.3% of men, and in Domodedovo – 53.4% of women and 46.6% of men (for 2018). The age and gender structure of the population of the Moscow region changed in 2000-2018 due to a decrease in the proportion of children (0-14 years), an increase in the proportion of the working-age individuals (15-59 years) and in the proportion of individuals above the working-age (60+ years). In Domodedovo a reverse trend was noted in the same period of time. The age groups of the population of the region and of Domodedovo are formed according to a regressive type, but there is a positive dynamics for Domodedovo. The economic and demographic burden of disabled contingents on the able-bodied population in Domodedovo increased by 17.3% during the study period. A similar trend was noted in the region. The birth rate in Domodedovo increased by 31.1% in the study period and, as compared to 1990, by 18%. In the Moscow region, a similar trend was observed, but with lower coefficient levels. The total birth rate in the Moscow region and in Domodedovo has a steady growing tendency, but, however, remains below the value «2». The mortality rate of the population of the Moscow region for the studied period decreased by 29.5%, but is 0.8% higher than in 1990. In Domodedovo in the period from 2000 to 2018, the overall mortality rate decreased by 31.7%, and, compared to 1990, by 2.6%. The infant mortality rate in the Moscow region decreased 3.2 times during the study period, and 3.7 times compared to 1990, and in Domodedovo it decreased 3.5 times for the same period of time, and, compared to 1990, 8.4 times. The mortality rate of the working-age population of Domodedovo during the study period decreased by 31.6% in absolute values. The percentage of deaths of working-age individuals from all deaths decreased from 37.1 to 28.5%. The average life expectancy in Domodedovo at the beginning of XXI century increased by 6.27 years for both genders, in men it increased by 7.58 years, and in women by 4.52 years. A similar tendency was observed in the region. Conclusions. The medico-demographic situation established by the beginning of XXI, with the existing mortality level of working-age individuals especially of men, may rather rapidly lead to deficit of the work force which, in turn, will prevent creation of a stable resource base and further economic development of the country. Attraction of migrants will probably permit to solve the problem of deficit of the labor force, but will simultaneously create additional challenges for the government and society.
