Ratio of men and women in Russia in percentage terms

Statistics - this is a great way to get the information of interest to a person as a percentage. For example, the ratio of men and women in Russia, what is it today? These data can help to identify the patterns of such indicators as fertility, mortality, and also to find out the causes of some global problems, such as alcoholism.

Demographics of our country

In the past few years, our country has had a huge number of problems related to population size, fertility and mortality. Of course, it should be noted that the recent demographic explosion has somewhat improved the situation, but if we consider the data for recent years, then the situation is not at all rosy. It's no secret that Russia is the most problematic country in this issue, the ratio of men and women here is the most different. Experts have long identified the reasons for such a nonsense, for example, in the year our state loses about 450 thousand people. But the main reason for the problems in our country is the critical shortage of men. It should be noted that such statistics in our country continues not only for the first year, but also for centuries. With what only scientists did not connect this fact: with wars, with a low life expectancy in men, with genetics and even with some astrological processes. In fact, there is a more understandable way to determine why the ratio of men and women in Russia in 2014 is so different.

Historical data

It's no secret that the statistical collections of the Federal Service of our country issues every two years with frequency. The last two issues were made in 2012 and 2014. But the statistical office also issues additional publications, in which it is possible to find data for those years that are not included in the main meetings. The ratio of men and women in Russia in 2013 is almost the same as for 2014. According to experts, this is due to the fact that it was during these years that our country for the first time since 2006 overcame the boundary of 143.3 million people. Scientists immediately called this phenomenon a demographic explosion.

If you study some statistics, you can see the depressing data. In 1926, the difference between the number of men and women was about 6%. But right after the Great Patriotic War, by 1959, the number of men decreased by another 4%, and the difference was no longer 6%, but all 10%! Only by 1990 you can see that the situation begins to stabilize again and the difference again approaches the level of 6%, but in 2008 it again increases to 8% and, unfortunately, continues to grow. The ratio of men and women in Russia (2014) is: men - 66 547 thousand people, women - 77 120 thousand people.

What is the reason for such statistics?

It is not surprising that the lack of a strong gender is reflected in a certain way on women who at some stage of their life begin to experience an acute shortage in the male presence. Especially the difference is felt, starting from the age of 30, during this period the ratio of men and women in Russia fluctuates by 2.25%. Although, if you look at the statistics of the age group in detail, it is initially seen that there are fewer girls than boys. For example, from birth to 4 years per 1000 men, there are about 947 women. But by the age of 25-30, there are about 1023 women per 1,000 male. It turns out that the problem initially is not in fertility, but in mortality. And if you study the data on mortality, it turns out that its peak in men comes to 25 years, while in women it is at around 50 years.

It is possible to draw quite a logical conclusion that the male contingent of our country loses its strength precisely because of high mortality, and not because of low birth rate.

Analysis of the age group of women from 15 to 30 years

Every person, no matter what sex, in a certain period of his life there is a desire to marry. In order to calculate why many remain single, the scientists decided to analyze at what period of life men and women have this desire. For example, women between the ages of 15 and 30 are mostly preoccupied with romantic dreams, in this period of life, about 46% of them are free, while only 8-9% are married, although the closer to 30, the more married women become and the fewer Free. The ratio of men and women in Russia really depends on how much the couple is ready to marry. After all, all this is reflected in the birth rate. For example, earlier not only marriages were concluded at an earlier age, but families consisted of a huge number of children. Today, the average Russian family most often allows itself a maximum of 2 children, which already indicates that the population is significantly reduced.

Analysis of the age group of women from 30 to 60 years

It's no wonder that in recent years there has been an unnatural percentage of men and women in Russia (2013). Statistics prove that in the period from 30 to 60 years, the woman finally sets her priorities. The modern world has long begun to dictate new rules and today no one will be surprised by a free woman at the age of thirty. On the contrary, many female individuals prefer to build their own careers before they conclude official relations in order to feel more confident and independent. In the last few years, women have acquired a huge number of rights, and today they seek to obtain complete financial independence from men. It is for this reason that the number of unmarried women by this period is equal to 20-25%. And this again shows that men are critically lacking. After all, if there are more men in our country, women simply would not have time to build their own career, but it would be like in the old days, when they were fought for in duels.

Analysis of the age group of men from 15 to 30 years

The ratio of men and women in Russia in 2013 was critical, and this is completely unsurprising, because up to 30 years almost all male representatives remain single. Also, statistics show that many of them are not only not married, but also have no serious relationship, from which in the future the family could turn out. Specialists note that men in this period of their lives are more interested in getting education, fulfilling their duty to their homeland and own career. That is, at a time when a woman is at the peak of her second half, the man is busy building his career. Experts emphasize that a large number of men not only do not want to conclude early marriages today, but also fears long-term relationships, which in the end result greatly affects the ratio of men and women in Russia by age.

Analysis of the age group of men from 30 to 60 years

At this age, most men still decide to acquire a home and family, and the number of married people is approaching 52%. But it can not be said that among these 52% there are all those men who were counted earlier in the calculations, because, as already mentioned, mortality in our case is solved by almost everything. The older a man becomes, the more he reaches for family life, and he, unlike women, usually does not have a problem in order to find himself a companion. At the last age stage, the number of free men fluctuates at around 13%, and this indicates that a huge proportion of women have remained without a partner. Experts confidently say that the problem of female and male loneliness lies mainly not in the age or quantity difference, but in the life goals of men and women and the time of their realization. In general, the situation is quite complex and multifaceted. And to solve it, it is necessary to sum up all the above.

Results of age-related comparison of the behavior of men and women

According to experts, Russia is the most unstable family in terms of family relations to date. The ratio of men and women here is so critical that some believe: it is high time to introduce a state law that would require each person to enter into marriage at a certain age. If we compare the data given above, it turns out that the cause of loneliness in women and men are the time intervals that each of them allocates for the realization of certain goals. Indeed, by the age of 40, a man has only increased his desire to become a married man, and he can easily find a suitable pair for himself. While a 40-year-old woman is unlikely to be able to immediately find a man who is ready to make a marriage with her. According to statistics, only a small part of the male representatives agrees to create a family with their peer, most often in the place of their companion is a young lady.

Marriages and divorces

But in addition to the fact that there is a need to conclude a marriage, it is also important to be able to keep it, stress family psychologists, who often take part in the compilation of static reports. The ratio of men and women in Russia in 2013 is quite unfavorable, and that's why. In 1950, there were about 12 marriages per 1000 people, by 2000 the trend had changed dramatically, and the number of marriages had approached 6.2%. By 2010-2011, the number of marriages has increased again and reached the level of 9.2%. At first glance, it might seem that there was a positive trend, but, unfortunately, there is a downside to the coin. Thus, the number of divorces that were recorded in the 1950s ranged around 4%, while today this figure "safely" exceeded 50%. But this is not the worst results, for example, in 2002 the number of divorces was 84%, that is, for every 100 marriages 84 divorces were necessary!

Family situation in the regions of the Russian Federation

The ratio of men and women in Russia by region is also quite interesting. For example, the Republic of Tyva in statistics was on the first place in terms of the number of divorces. It is in this part of our country that the greatest amount of divorce is recorded in 2013. It should be noted that the proportion of men and women here is almost the same as in other regions of the country. Experts note that it does not matter what territory the citizens of the Russian Federation reside in, for the main reasons are the same problems. The second place, for example, was occupied by the Magadan Region, and the third by Chechnya. It is worth saying that most couples disagree due to psychological unpreparedness. Specialists note that the earlier partners make a marriage, the more likely that the family life will be terminated at the initial stage.

Foreign statistics

The ratio of men and women in Russia as a percentage, as mentioned earlier, is 66 547 thousand men and 77 120 thousand women, that is, the last 16% more. But such data is not only in our country. For example, in Australia, there are about 11,281,000 men and 11,403,000 women. It should also be said that marriages in this country are also fairly simple. Perhaps, it is for this reason that a huge number of couples break their official relations not only often enough, but also several times. The same situation is observed in such countries as Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Armenia and others. Exceptions to date are only India and China, where the number of men significantly exceeds the number of women. And, according to leading experts, in these countries, completely different attitude towards marriage. Although not all representatives of these countries adhere to national traditions.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, the situation that has developed in our country today is rather sad. The lack of men affects not only the birth rate, but also other, no less important aspects. According to experts, the ratio of men and women in Russia should be at least 1: 1, because for such a huge state, a man's power is simply necessary, for example, in the face of a strong army. At the same time, experts emphasize that for today a huge number of children are brought up in single-parent families, and all this is the result of a lack of a strong gender in our country. It is not surprising that this also has its negative consequences. In general, it is already necessary today to think about how to solve the demographic situation in Russia. It remains only to hope that the state will soon begin to take measures to resolve this problem urgently.
