Demographic Policy

Demographic policy is nothing more than aa special system of propaganda, economic, social, as well as other measures and measures capable of affecting the natural movement of the population in one way or another.

It is a focused activityvarious state bodies, as well as social institutions, implemented in the sphere of regulating the processes of population reproduction. We can say that the demographic policy of the state is a policy that is aimed at the population field. Its main goal is to achieve a certain demographic optimum.

Objects in this case can be the population of a country, a separate region, a city, a village, and so on.

Of course, the demographic policy has its owngoals, and tasks. Usually they are formed in various political programs, directive plans and so on. In general, the main directions of this policy are the following:

- Decrease in death rate, as well as morbidity;

- assistance to families with children from the state;

- control of migration processes;

- urbanization;

- increase the life of citizens and so on.

These areas are closely intertwined with the following areas of social policy:

- regulation of incomes;

- development of services;

- housing construction;

- provision of needy citizens;

- health care;

- education and so on.

We can say that the demographic policy is aimed at creating the most convenient conditions for fertility.

In some cases, its objectives are set in the targetrequirements, but can be presented in the form of targets or some system of indicators. In the latter case, the achievement of specified indicators will be understood as the achievement of the goals of the demographic policy itself.

Of course, in every country the demographicThe policy has its own indicators and goals. It would be foolish to compare this policy of China and, for example, Sweden. As everyone knows, China has long been overpopulated. It would be strange if the government of this country tried to increase it. Their main task is to normalize the population growth in order to make living conditions in the country more comfortable.

Advocacy, as well as educational measures:
