Исследование процесса постарения населения Республики Беларусь

Abstract

Population ageing is constituted by a shift in the distribution of a country's population towards greater ages. The ageing ratio in the Republic of Belarus is 14,6 %. The main source of population ageing in the Republic of Belarus is declining fertility. The shift in age structure associated with population ageing has a profound impact on a broad range of economic, political and social conditions. Initially experienced by the more developed countries, the process of ageing has recently become apparent in much of the developing world as well. For the near future, virtually all countries will face population ageing, although at varying levels of intensity and in different time frames.
