The population of the CIS countries in 2050 significantly reduced
One of the participants, held on July 10 at the studios RIA "Novosti", the head of the Center for Population Studies, Faculty of Economics, Moscow State University, Professor Valery Yelizarov said on July 11 - the date chosen by chance. "July 11, 1987 the world population reached five billion people mark. Attaching great importance to this date important to the earthlings, in 1989, the United Nations urged all countries to use this day to talk about the population, the problems associated with demographic processes, "- said Professor Elizarov.
According to him, the short "Golden Age" of good birth rates in the European countries of the former Soviet Union ended. And this phenomenon is quite natural explanation. "The problems we are talking about are specific and global and regional color to our countries. We all have the same demographic history, we have grown up, so to speak, of a "demographic overcoat." <...> The population growth that we have seen in recent years - was a kind gift from the past: in the eighties of the last century in all the republics of the former Soviet Union has been activated total population policy, which then affected the increase in the birth rate.
More and more people are deciding about the birth of the second and third child, "- said Professor Elizarov. Peak fertility in Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet republics in Europe, he said, is passed. "How many families today will go for you to have a second or third child? For the normal reproduction of the population across the country it is necessary that a hundred women had 215 children. In Russia, these indicators at the level of 170 children per hundred women. In the future, most likely, population growth will stop, but against the recession will need to be overcome, "- emphasizes Valery Yelizarov.
He said that the state policy in the field of demography should be comprehensive, proactive, but not episodic. "The government should invest in the development of health and healthy lifestyles Russian families. In many European countries the level of support for families of three or four per cent of GDP. If we look at the realities of Russia, we see that the share of spending on maternal consumption of 0.65 percent - far less than what is done in developed countries ", - stressed Valery Yelizarov. According to the director of the Institute of Philosophy, Sociology and Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, Professor Gevorg Poghosyan, Western and Eastern Europe are going through similar processes associated with depopulation. "This is a trend in many countries of Christian culture. It is global.
There is a fair process of reducing the population and bring it to the optimum. In general, the global process of population on the planet is ascending. We crossed the seven billion, and by 2050, earthlings will, according to UN projections, up to ten billion. On the other hand, the runaway population growth is a challenge because it is a threat to life - the resources of the planet are limited, "- said Professor Gevorg Poghosyan. He believes that the comparison of population growth in the European and Asian countries are often treated through a political prism.
That, apparently, is not to do: "The Europeans say that Europe is shrinking and Asia - is increasing, and this leads to a demographic expansion. There is a political component, which for many is as risk. According to international estimates, the country where more than twelve percent of the population over the age of sixty years, called aging. In Armenia, the figure is 14, 6 percent, "- says Professor Gevorg Poghosyan.
