Stárnutí populace v Rusku

Population ageing is a global trend that will increasingly affect the economic development of countries. This problem will have a significant impact on the Russian Federation in the nearest future, although the expert public has not been paying adequate attention to it.The aim of this thesis is to summarize the development of the Russian population from the 1990s to the present, to describe the current population policy of the Russian Federation and to make suggestions for its improvement. The thesis lists the causes of current demographic development, compares the specifics of the Russian population ageing in the context of other ageing countries and predicts the future development of the country.The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is devoted to demography, explanation of demographic terms and indicators. The second chapter describes the current state of the Russian population and problems associated with population ageing. The last chapter is devoted to solving the impacts of population ageing. Firstly, this chapter presents the current demographic measures of the Russian government, afterwards the expected development of the population and finally proposals for improving the demographic policy.By analysing demographic data and demographic policies of the Russian Federation, I came to the following conclusion. In the future, the country will not only face problem with its aging population but also with its significant population decline, which will intensify the country's economic problems and consequently worsen its geopolitical position in the world.
