Rosstat expects the population of the Russian Federation to decrease to 138.77 million people by the end of 2045.
Rosstat on Friday, October 20, published a new demographic forecast for the Russian Federation until the end of 2045, according to which the population of Russia will decrease to 138.77 million people.
The forecast is calculated taking into account the results of the All-Russian Population Census, which was conducted in October – November 2021.
As of January 1, 2023, 146.45 million people live in Russia. By January 1, 2046, according to Rosstat, the population of the aggressor country will decrease to 138.77 million people.
Rosstat said that the demographic forecast was compiled without taking into account the population living in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
According to the forecast of Rosstat, the population in the Russian Federation in 2024-2032 will decrease by more than 400 thousand people per year, including the natural decrease of the population will exceed 600 thousand people per year in these years, and in some years even 700 thousand, migration growth during the forecast period is estimated in the range of 210-230 thousand people per year.
Starting from 2033, according to Rosstat forecasts, the population of the Russian Federation will decrease at a rate of less than 400 thousand people per year (as a result of a slowdown in the natural decline of the population), in 2042-2045 – more less than 200 thousand.
According to Rosstat’s forecast, the population of the Russian Federation will decrease to less than 145 million people in 2026, to less than 143 million people in 2030, to less than 140 million people in 2039.
Let’s remember that the previous Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the creation of “attractive” conditions to reduce the influx of Russians.
