According to experts, in the next 43 years the total population of our beautiful planet will increase by only about 2.5 billion. However, with regard to our country, in this case, the forecasts are very pessimistic. Scientists are already sounding the alarm as Russia's population is expected to decline from 140 million to around 108 million. Moreover, similar demographic changes also await Ukraine. In total, two main reasons stand out: high mortality due to the immediate consequences of HIV infection, and on the other hand, low birth rates.
Problem Solving
All of the above data were reviewed in the UN report. However, the document also mentioned that the realization of such consequences primarily depends on whether measures are taken to family planning, as well as to prevent the further widespread spread of HIV infection. For example, in thoseIn countries where antiretroviral drugs are widely available to virtually all segments of the population, life expectancy is expected to increase from 10 to 17.5 years.

Also in the report it was noted that if other countries are increasing life expectancy, then in our country this trend cannot be discussed. In particular, in Russia there are no signs of any work to reduce the death rate. Experts argue that the only right decision in this matter would be to review the government's migration policy, as well as take all possible measures to reduce the area of spread of life-threatening infections.
However, HIV is far from the only cause of such high death rates. Of course, everyone understands that the population in Russia is currently in decline. The future of the country depends not only on the authorities, but also on the citizens themselves. Today, some experts are proposing serious fundamental changes in social policy that will help solve such a problem as the size of the population of Russia, or rather its rapid decrease. On the other hand, only a few believe in a positive result. The thing is that the dynamics of Russia's population has already undergone such changes several decades ago. It is important to note that various demographicThe reforms proposed and successfully implemented by our government are somewhat improving the overall situation. So, over the past few years, there has been a surge in the birth rate, but the death rate has not decreased. Thus, the population of Russia can be increased only through the right demographic, social reforms and solving he alth problems.
Situation in other countries
Reduction of citizens of states other than our country will also be observed in Germany, Japan, Italy and the Republic of Korea. Until 2050, more than half of the inhabitants of our planet will be concentrated in the United States, Pakistan, China, Ethiopia, India and Nigeria. The trend of relatively high population growth in the above countries will also continue.
