The city of Michurinsk did not remain aloof from these trends.
Obviously, he is going through hard times right now. This is also evidenced by the rather low level of wages that appear in the vacancy catalog of the Michurinsk employment center. This situation forces many young people to move to more prosperous Russian regions, and those who remain will have little incentive to have children.
In order to prevent a further decline in the population of Michurinsk and other similar cities, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the quality of life of citizens.
