Abstract

The regional peculiarities of the demographic processes in Kabardino-Balkaria, their interrelation with the social and economic development of the region, the tendencies of the current demographic situation are revealed in the article. The measures aimed at creating conditions for sustainable demographic development in Kabardino-Balkaria are discussed. During the period of modernization in Russia, a complicated demographic situation was characteristic of many regions of the country as well as of Kabardino-Balkar Republic. This fact determines the urgency of researching the demographic processes in order to implement a differentiated policy not only in the economy and social spheres but also in dealing with the population issues. The study of the demographic processes in Kabardino-Balkaria is conducted on the basis of new statistical information including the analysis of the all-Russia social and economic indicators. For the first time, the author analyzes the process of implementation of the State Programme “The Improvement of the Demographic Situation in Kabardino-Balkar Republic for the Period of 2007-2015”. Some special features characteristic of the demographic processes in Kabardino-Balkaria and basic trends of their development are revealed in the research. The conclusion is drawn that the migration processes influence on the demographic situation, social and economic development of the Republic. The results gained show that high natural population growth at low rates of economic development leads to labour-abundance and population migration. The measures aimed at creating the sustainable demographic situation are identified in the work. First of all, it is necessary to adopt legal acts on increasing a consumer goods basket in the country, to raise a monthly allowance for a child and to make it uniform in all the regions of the Russian Federation. Besides, it is significant to ensure full implementation of the Republican Target Programmes on developing the regional labor market, to create new workplaces, to increase wages and to boost housing construction in the Republic.
