Thanks to the measures introduced, the Nizhny Novgorod Region has surpassed the Russian average birth rate for the first time in over 80 years—in less than a year, the increase was more than 11% or +0.14 children. The program includes a payment of 1 mln rubles ($15К) per child
250 years of the US: from a 15-fold population growth in the 19th century to below-replacement TFR in the 1930s, then to a baby boom with an increase of 2.7 mln per year, and now—the countdown to the onset of depopulation
During Soviet times,there were 2 newborns in Azerbaijan for every 1 born in Armenia. In 2013, a record was set:there were 4.13 babies born in Azerbaijan for every 1 born in Armenia. The ratio returned to 2.99:1 by the end of 2025 — still significantly higher than it was just 35ya
The number of births in Azerbaijan is at its lowest since 1950. Azerbaijan reached its all-time high in births in 1991, at 190К. The TFR has decreased by more than 1.00 compared to 2012, dropping to 1.36 children by 2025—below the 1.374 in urban and secular Russia.
Russian TFR yearly moving average declined to 1.347.If these trends continue Russia's fertility rate could fall to 1.212 children per woman by 2026—the lowest since 2000, the beginning of the 21st century. The demographic situation in the Russia is rapidly deteriorating
100 ya the TFR of Korea was very high: 6.5+ children. Even during the Korean War natural increase maintained. From 1960 to 2023 the number of births in SK decreased from 1080k to 230k—x5 decrease. In 60 years the TFR decreased from 6.16 to 0.72
In 1950 Iran's TFR was 6.95 versus 4.52 with 88К births versus 43К.By 2025 the difference is in Israel's favor: the TFR is 2.87 versus 1.37 in Iran.The ratio has reached a multi-century high of 20.11%. By 2100 for the I time since Antiquity Israel will have as many births as Iran
From 1700 to 1850,Japan's population stagnated. It then doubled between the Meiji Restoration and WWII, and then doubled again by 2008.Since then, the population has declined by 5 mln. However, assuming the low TFR likely persists, population will remain at only 37.95 mln by 2100
The Jewish TFR in Israel is now 0.3 children higher than that of Muslims, compared to 2 children behind them 25ya. The Jewish share of the country's population will likely continue to grow.
Over the 35 years of independence, Ukraine's natural population decline has amounted to 9.3 million people. Each year, more people died than were born. For every 1 born, 3 died, and many of them were born abroad. There is no hope for the country's functionality and sustainability
The number of newborns in Russia has exceeded that of Ukraine by 7 times. For many decades, the ratio of Ukrainian to Russian newborns has remained stable, at around 2.5-3 to 1. Russia's long-term advantage in human resources is not only intact, it is rapidly growing
The birth rate in Armenia is at its lowest since the 1940s. In 1960 the Armenian TFR was 4.63 per woman.The birth rate was more than twice what it is today (75K),the natural increase was 10 times higher (+62K).Within a few years, the country will enter a period of natural decline
