The transformation of the differences of the lethality rate among male and female population at different stages of the development of the present-day Russian demographic crisis
The article gives the analysis of the dynamics of the lethality rate of male and female population of Udmurt Republic and Russian Federation during the development of the modern demographic crisis in 1985-2011, according to the data of the official governmental statistics. There were studied the dynamics of the levels and differences of the lethality rate among men and women in the conditions of positive and negative stages of the development of demographic crisis, distinguished by the authors. It was stated that at the positive stage of crisis in 1986-1988 the male lethality rate in RF was on the same level with the female one, and in UR – even lower. At that stage the lethality rate decreased among both – male and female population – but the rate of drawdown among men was even more considerable. The picture was different at the negative periods of demographic crisis in 1990-1994 and 1998-2003. There were stated the peculiarities of the development of male and female lethality rate by the main death reasons. The existing dynamics led to the large increase of male lethality over female during the negative stage of demographic period, and it was 24,8% in 2011 in RF. It is necessary to work out and introduce goal-oriented measures for the decrease of male lethality rate with the consideration of all mechanisms and factors, which have influence on these processes.
