Abstract

Objective of the study is to analyze the purposefully changed factors which actions allow to control demographic dynamics. The methodological basis of the research consists of a behaviorist methodological approach used in the analysis of gender differences in mortality and life expectancy, a systematic methodological approach used for a holistic representation of the factor relationship of social dynamics, methods of mathematical analysis that allow us to identify the most significant factor of influence on demographic processes. Research results are presented: in proof of exponential population growth with a general civilizational trend of a decreasing growth rate, which gives the function logistical and sometimes parabolic character; in the conclusion about the interconnection of birth and death rates, their dependence on changes in the volume of the ecological niche of society, the connection of its expansion with the development of cultural forms of life activity of social individuals; in the impact on the natural movement of the population of state regulation of the economy aimed at achieving an annual increase in gross domestic product exceeding the critical value of the increase in the aggregate of consumed values. Prospects of the study unfold in the form of an analysis of possible scenarios of demographic processes in countries entering the information stage of economic development with the replacement of the human places of the social structure with technical devices and changes in the ethnic composition of the population due to migration flows.
Keywords:
natural population movement, coefficients of the fertility and mortality, logistics function, gross domestic product, totality of consumed values, cultural forms of social individuals’ life activity
