Current narratives of regional historical demography

Abstract

Among the main tasks at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries, the most significant ones were to increase the life expectancy and quality of life of the population, improve their health, reduce mortality, and restore the population by increasing the birth rate, which is firmly intertwined with the factors of the socio-economic vector of social development. The demographic situation in the Orenburg Region, which developed in the nineties of the 20th century, was characterized by negative processes caused by a simultaneous reduction in the birth rate and an increase in mortality, characteristic of Russia as a whole. Considering that retrospectiveness in demography is relevant, the transformation of previous interim materials in order to implement the dynamics of processes in the examination, the “experience of historical demography”, including regional experience, should be clearly studied.
