Samara is a beautiful city, about which foldeda lot of songs. It is located on the left bank of the Volga, between the mouths of the Sok and Samara rivers in the Russian Federation. It is thanks to the name of the river that it got its name - Samara. The population of the city, according to the 2011 census, is 1170,000 people. By the number of people living in the city, he ranks third among all cities in Russia. It is the largest economic, scientific, educational and transport center. Here are concentrated industries such as oil refining, food processing and engineering.
The population of Samara has different roots andorigin. Of course, the main population of the city are Russian. According to various sources, their numbers range from 83% to 83.6%. Almost equally among the peoples of the Chuvash and Tatars. Here they occupy 3.1% and 3.9%, respectively. The share of Mordovians is 2.7%, and Ukrainians - 1.9%.
According to the forecast made by the UN, Samaratakes the twelfth place among all cities of the world belonging to endangered cities, giving way only to Ukrainian Odessa and Russian St. Petersburg. Back in the 90s, the population of Samara increased from year to year. In 1991, this number was the maximum. During this period, the number of people living in the city reached 126,0103 people. After only one year, Samara was almost in the first place to reduce its number. If we give an example on concrete figures, in 2003 there were 1162.7 thousand people living in the city, in 2005 - 1143.4 thousand people, in 2010 - 1133.75 thousand people. As you can see, the number of city residents is decreasing from year to year, and for the period from 2003 to 2010 it decreased by 28,946 people.
Why does the population of Samara decrease?According to the leadership of Rosstar, since 2007 the number of newborns, although insignificantly, has increased from year to year. For example, if in 2006 the number of women who gave birth to their second child was 29.8%, then already in 2010 this number increased significantly and reached 35.8%. A similar picture occurred with the mothers of the third child. If in 2006 they accounted for 5.1%, then already in 2010 - 7.4%. As for the total number of births, in 2012, 36,200 newborns were registered, which is 6% more than in 2011. But no matter how the number of newborns grows, it cannot surpass the death rate. So, in 2012, 41,000 death certificates were registered. As you can see, the city is really dying out. According to UN forecasts, if everything continues in the same way and the demographic situation of the city does not change, then by 2025 the population of Samara will decrease by 10% compared with 1990. This figure will be approximately 1,116,000 people.
Also, pay attention to thatthe fact that the population of Samara is dissatisfied with the standard of living. This was stated by 41% of city residents. Perhaps this is one of the factors affecting the current demographic situation in this locality. According to experts interviewing the population, indicators such as stable working conditions, the level of health care development, income levels, leisure opportunities, and conditions for doing business most affect the standard of living in the city. With the improvement of these indicators, it is possible that the birth rate will increase even more and mortality will decrease.
