Abstract

© Medwell Journals, 2016.The study shows the main factors affecting the birth rate of the population. It demonstrates the birth rate effect on the formation of a new demographic situation in the republic. The research devoted to the description of birth rate difference between the most numerous nationalities presented in Tatarstan, Russians and Tatars. Analysis of data of ethnic origin born in the second half of the 20th century has shown an annual excess of the share of newly born Tatars in the total number of newly born. This indirectly confirms the traditionaly higher birth rate of Tatars until the end of the 20th century. This difference is especially noticeable in rural areas. Based on the results of the 2010 census, we analyzed the ethnic composition of population in the Republic of Tatarstan. The birth rate of the population was studied, not only at the republic level, in total but also at the level of municipal districts within Tatarstan. The current trends of demographic development of the population of Tatarstan were defined. Among the most important ones, it is necessary to highlight the convergence of demographic behavior of the population of different nationalities (especially, Russians and Tatars). In study, we have demonstrated the dynamics of births on the national composition of population as in the region in general as separately for urban and rural areas. The schedule allows to reveal the dynamics of the natural increase of the population of the Republic of Tatarstan.
