Major demographic tendencies of the Arctic and sub-arctic zone of Russia

The main demographic indicators for the period of 1993 - 2017 in the Krasnoyarsk Area, the Arkhangelsk, Murmansk regions, the Republics Komi, the Sakha (Yakutia), the Nenets, the Yamalo-Nenets and the Chukotka Autonomous Districts in comparison with the national indicators have been described. The data of the Central Statistical Database of the Federal State Statistics Service, the Russian database on fertility and mortality were used. Despite the general positive demographic trends, the territories of the Arctic zone of Russia remain to be areas of a tense demographic situation, manifested in supermortality, insufficient fertility for the reproduction of the population, migration outflow of the population, which leads to continued depopulation of these regions.
