Demographic Processes in the Kaliningrad Region in 2000-2014

Abstract

The demographic processes in the Kaliningrad Region differ from other regions of the country significantly. The transmigrating nature of the population and the on-going migration growth are the conditioning factors for a more favourable demographic situation in the region. At the same time, contracted reproduction of population defines the reduction of the labour resources despite the significant influx of population from without. Development of economy should not be based on the growing number of the employed but on the increasing labour productivity and intersectoral redistribution of labour force. Additional supporting measures for families with children are necessary in order to lessen depopulation.
