Semashko National Research Institute of Public Health151220201525708042022Copyright © 2020,2020Demographic burden is a very important characteristic of a countrys economic condition. In recent decades, in Russia, as well as throughout the world, the birth rate has been decreasing, in addition, with an increase in life expectancy, the number of people over working age is growing. In all countries there is an aging population. The coefficient of demographic load shows how many people of working age account for 1000 able-bodied people. Persons of working age are predominantly producers of economic benefits and contributions to the Pension Fund, and thus practically contain the disabled population. An increase in the demographic load factor complicates the socio-economic situation in the country. The paper analyzes the dynamics of the demographic burden in Russia. A comparison of the demographic burden in Russia and other countries is given. The data on the level of demographic burden, taking into account, the ongoing pension reform are given. Possible ways of changing the current demographic situation are considered. The necessity of increasing the birth rate as the most promising direction to reduce the demographic burden is shown.Birth ratemortalitymigrationdemographic load of childrendemographic load of the elderlyмиграцияРождаемостьсмертностьдемографическая нагрузка детьмидемографическая нагрузка пожилыми1.United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2019).
