Possible Population Challenges
Currently, the population of Russia and dropping because of only a 1.7 birthrate per couple. the best for a country is 2.1, so two children will replace the parents, and the extra 0.1 is to increase the population ever so slightly. Also Russia as very little immigrants, causing their population to be very unstable.
Furthermore, as shown on the population pyramids (right), the current dependency loads is quite small, so there is no problem there. However, there is not as many children as there were a while ago, when the current work force was born. So when the current work force becomes part of the dependency load, the dependency load will grow tremendously, while the new work force is unable to keep up with the needs of the dependency load. (U.S. census bureau)
Also, the current life expectancy is under 75 years. it is not very high. Even thought the dependency load is lower, so will be the immigration levels because peopel want to live in places where they can live for a long time.
On a side note.... the current projected change in population for Russia is 0% to -50%, thatis very bad, as the population would keep dropping until your entire county’s population was wiped out. So in a worst case scenario, the population of Russia would decrease by 50% each 25~30 years. If Russia's population is 140 million right now, we can predict that by 2035 Russia's population will only be 70 million in a worst case s cenario. (population action international)
If you saw the chart at the top, you can see the Death Rate is higher than the birthrate.
