Geodemographic situation in the Republic of Tatarstan

This research deals with the demographic situation in the Republic of Tatarstan and its spatiotemporal peculiarities. The key indicators of the geodemographic situation as well as the resultant values were considered, such as the indicators of natural and mechanical movement of population, its composition, structure and migration within 2008-2012. Five types of geodemographic situations were identified. Considerable polarization of the types of geodemographic situations - between safe and critical - is observed in the studied region. © IDOSI Publications, 2014
