What drives population change?
Births and deaths set natural change. Net migration can reinforce, reduce, or reverse that direction.
Migration contribution Deepens decline
Negative net migration adds to natural decline.
Russian Federation, 2024 projected: natural change −592,272 people, net migration −178,042, WPP adjustment −2, total population change −770,316. Negative net migration adds to natural decline.
Natural change −592,272 births minus deaths
+ Net migration −178,042 net balance
≈ Total change −770,316 people per year
Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a −2-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.

AGE BALANCE · 1950–2100
Youth and older population
Annual share of the population aged under 18 and aged 65+. The crossing shows when the older group first becomes larger in the annual source series.

Russian Federation annual age balance from 1950 to 2100. Under-18 population moves from 35.9% in 1950 to 20.8% in 2023 and 17.3% in the 2100 projection. Population aged 65 and older moves from 5.1% to 16.6% and 26.6%. First annual crossover: 2030 · projected. Estimates run through 2023 and WPP Medium projections begin in 2024.
