According to forecasts, the amount of pension and child benefits is calculated in 2023-2046. The population of the Russian Federation will decrease by 12.7 million in the period 2026-2027. The highest natural decline is predicted.
The extinction rate of the Russian population in the next decade will average over 500 thousand people per year. In the second half of the 21st century, the Russian Federation will have the minimum permanent population after 70 years. This is stated in Rosstat’s updated demographic forecast based on 2020 census results, Russian publication The Moscow Times reported.
According to estimates compiled by the budget for pensions and child benefits for the period 2023-2046. The Russian population will decrease by 12.7 million people. The death rate will exceed the birth rate.
In 2018, the all-Russian “Demography” project was established, and Kremlin president Vladimir Putin demanded that the natural decline be stopped. Journalists state that this started some time after the occupation of Crimea.
Initially, the target was to be achieved by 2024, but this was later postponed to 16 years later. But the forecast by Rosstat, the authors of the publication note, shows that the target will remain unattainable even after 25 years.
This year, the Russian Federation will lose 675.1 thousand people in 2024, 693.2 thousand in 2025 and 600.7 thousand people in the 2026-2027 period due to natural decline. This figure will exceed 700 thousand people.
Over time, the natural decline is expected to slow down, reaching 652 thousand in 2030 and 532 thousand in 2035. However, by the mid-2040s, this figure will exceed 400 thousand people per year.
Let us remember, on the eve of October 22, British intelligence reported that after the attack on Avdiivka, the casualty rate of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine increased by almost 90 percent.
It was also reported that in Avdeevka, Russian infantry carried out active attacks under the cover of armored vehicles. The head of the military administration, Vitaly Barabash, said that in the last 24 hours the Russian Armed Forces used aviation against the positions of the Defense Forces.
