Historical reference
The population of Vladimir in the XX century has repeatedly changed. This is due to the fact that for this period of time a huge number of armed conflicts fell, which were accompanied by colossal victims of the civilian population. The statistics of the period of the First World War and the Civil War indicate that the number of inhabitants has halved: from 43 thousand to 23 thousand people.
During the restoration of the economy, the population of Vladimir increased again to 40 thousand people. During the years of industrialization, when the economic and political situation in the country stabilized a little, the number of Vladimir residents increased one and a half times, reaching an important key mark of 100 thousand people.
The Great Patriotic War also affected the inhabitants of the city. The population of Vladimir decreased by several thousand people, not counting those who were called up for war from the settlements of the Vladimir region. According to official documents, about a million residents were called from the territory of Vladimir. About 1/10 of the population is residents of the city.
In the 60s of the XX century, the population of Vladimir began to increase significantly. Natural profit was about 7-8 thousand people per year. In the 80s, growth declined again. The number of inhabitants in 1989 reached the mark of 350 thousand people. During the years of perestroika and the collapse of the USSR , there was a decline in fertility and an increase in mortality. The population of the city (Vladimir) decreased by 10%.
Modernity
Speaking about the current stage, special attention should be paid to the 21st century. If in the zero years the number of the civilian population of the city was only 315 thousand people, then, according to the All-Russian Census, in 2010 more than 345,000 inhabitants lived in the administrative center of the Vladimir Region.
According to official data presented on the website of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, in 2014, 350 087 thousand people lived on the territory of Vladimir. According to the latest data on the registration of citizens of the Russian Federation, in 2015, the population of Vladimir increased by 2594 people and amounted to 352 thousand 681 residents.
Sex and age ratio of Vladimir residents
The number of residents of Vladimir was changing, and the age and sex ratio of citizens was transformed. The Great Patriotic War significantly affected the percentage of men and women. In 1979, there was a bias towards women (54.3%), while men in Vladimir were only 45.7%. A similar trend has not changed at the present stage of development. So, in 2010, the percentage of women reached 55%, and men - 45%.
However, it should be noted that such a bias is determined by the number of women of retirement age. In other words, the number of able-bodied men is 1.5 times more than girls. But male pensioners are only 27%, while women - 73%.
Of the 352 thousand Vladimirites, more than 60% are of working age. According to the data, up to the retirement age, there are 225 thousand inhabitants of the administrative center. Speaking about the unemployed, it should be noted that unemployment in Vladimir is minimal (3658 people). The number of children and adolescents is 15 percent of the total number of residents, 25% are pensioners.
The main causes of population growth
Unfortunately, the increase in the number of residents of Vladimir has no connection with the improvement of the demographic situation in the region. In addition, it should be noted that mortality in the city exceeds the birth rate by almost 1.5 times. However, the migration of the population to the region has increased. Someone comes to Vladimir to study, and someone to work. This is becoming the main determining factor in increasing the population of the city.
