Abstract:

The objective is to analyze the situation in Saint-Petersburg with regard to population ageing in comparison with that in Russia as a whole, since 1990. Population ageing is characterized using CONVENTIONAL MEASURES (such as proportion of old age population (aged 60 (or 65) or over); Old-Age Dependency Rate - relative size of population aged 60+ (or 65+) to working age population (aged 15 �?? 59 or 15 �?? 64) etc) and PROSPECTIVE MEASURES which take account of Remaining Life Expectancies, RLE (such as number of persons in age groups with RLE 15 years or less; Prospective Old-age Dependency Rate �?? number of persons in age groups with RLE 15 years or less per 100 persons in age groups older than 20 (or 15 years old) and having RLE greater than 15; Population Average Remaining Years of Life, Calculated by weighting RLE of all ages in a period Life Table with the proportions of people at those ages. The paper is based on data given by Rosstat, Petrostat and HMD. Computations of considered indicators are made in Excel. Suggested detailed analysis of dynamics of conventional and prospective measures provides a more complete picture of population ageing in Saint-Petersburg and Russia as a whole.
