Population in Novotroitsk

Possible reasons for population loss
Novotroitsk belongs to the industrial cities of the Soviet "hardening", which were formed and rapidly developed during the Soviet period. With the change in the situation in the country, the need for heavy industries has decreased, and the nature of economic activity has also changed. This naturally led to social and economic difficulties. There are quite a lot of similar cities in Russia, they are also in the USA. The largest of them is Detroit. Adapting them to new conditions is enougha complex task that requires a thoughtful and competent approach.
The deteriorating economic situation is forcing residents, especially young people, to migrate to more prosperous regions of the country, which leads not only to a direct migration outflow, but also to a decrease in the birth rate, since it is mainly the older generations that remain, many of whose representatives continue work in enterprises. All such cities have a convex population curve.
Employment in Novotroitsk
A large number of enterprises operate in Novotroitsk, which are the basis for the formation of employment for the local population. The social sphere and trade are poorly developed. Therefore, when moving to this city, experience in production is desirable.

Employment center vacancies

The minimum wage level here is higher than the basic minimum wage rate, and amounts to 12,837 rubles. Most of the vacancies provide for payments of this particular amount. Complex andhighly qualified speci alties are paid higher. In this case, the amount of payments sometimes reaches 30-35 thousand rubles. The most expensive job (35 thousand rubles) was the vacancy of a rolling stock repairman.
Thus, not being a narrow specialist in the field of production activities, you can count on exactly 12837 rubles.
Conclusion
Thus, the dynamics of the population over the past hundred years corresponds to the situation typical for depressed cities, and is associated with the passage of two main stages: prosperity and decline. This pattern is also observed in other former Soviet cities that were built to serve industrial production, and then failed to fit into the new economic realities. In the US, a similar situation was in Detroit and other cities of the so-called "rust belt", as well as in some industrial cities in Germany. In general, the demographic situation in the city is not catastrophic, but if current trends continue and the lack of support from the federal authorities, it can worsen significantly.
Salaries in the city are acceptable by Russian standards, but most of the vacancies relate specifically to work at enterprises, and not everyone will like it. With such a picture in the labor market, a further outflow of the population is inevitable.
