Abstract:

This paper studies whether demographic similarities between middle and top managers with different tasks (strategy formation and strategy implementation) impacts organizational performance. By drawing on relational demography theory, we investigate the effect of similarity in gender, organizational tenure, and in both these demographics on the overall costs of Dutch municipalities. The main findings of this paper show that the similarity effects are interrelated: when middle and top managers diverge on only one demographic, performance is increased. Also, when leaders are similar on both demographics, performance is impaired. We conclude by discussing the implications for the literature on middle management, relational demography, and strategy formation and implementation.

Abstract:

The introduction of digital technologies, the Internet and social media into human life provides new information and data sources for the study of demographic behavior. The article studies the analysis of demographic characteristics based on e-demographic data. The creation of an e-demographic system is one of the urgent issues for demographic research, the management of demographic processes and for the study of demographic behavior. The article is devoted to the analysis of demographic indicators. The article examines the existing international experience in the field of e-demography, analyzes the current state of research in the field of creating a single population register. In order to build an e-demographic system, it is proposed to integrate public registers in various fields into a single platform through a personal identification number. Demographic analyzes can be conducted information on social networks, mobile phones, banking systems, insurance companies, via traces in various search browsers. The article analyzes demographic characteristics based on e-demographic data. The experiment examined the analysis of demographic characteristics of graduates who studied abroad. Demographic analysis was conducted according to the age, sex, marital status, education level, specialty, country of study and other indicators of the graduates. K-Means model was used to divide the graduates into different clusters. According to the experience, it is possible to divide graduates who studied abroad into clusters according to their age. Thus, graduates of each cluster can be surveyed according to other demographic indicators. E-demography creates new opportunities for social research and population data monitoring. The establishment of an e-demographic system will allow for population statistics, online census monitoring, in-depth analysis of demographic processes and the study of demographic behavior. Citizens of each cluster will be able to conduct different analyzes according to income, field of work, education and other indicators. The research proposes to build an e-demographic system on the basis of a single state register. In future research, the data in the various registers will be analyzed in depth.

Abstract:

The problems of formation of regional policy and stages of formation and growth of geodemography as modern scientific field of population geography were reviewed in details in the article. In the first stage, a central place in the system of knowledge of the population belongs to the demographics. The second stage are increased by interaction of demography with other sciences, including geography. At their junction, a new discipline – population geography. In the third stage are forming the new direction of population geography –geodemography which orientated to the study of regional differences of population and resettlement and development of a regional demographic policy.The basic concepts of the new trend are geodemography development, geodemographic situation, geodemographic processes regional, settlement system, demoreproductive – territorial complexes, demographic policy. We have presented a methodological scheme formation of geodemography as a new trend in the sciences of the population in the following order: Demography – Population Geography – Geodemography. It is clear that geodemography has a substantive methodological overlap with demography, geography of population. In certain domain of geodemography can be accented and dominated certain aspects of its components - demography and population geography. On the one hand, geodemography are considered as a separate section of population geography (S.A. Kovalev et al.). Geodemography situation is defined within of population geography as “historically established in a particular area relationship between aggregate of demographic processes and structures of the socio-economic conditions and factors.” On the other hand, geodemography is considered as a special area of socio-economic geography (A. A. Anokhin, G.M. Fedorov et al.). And geodemographic situation involves a spatially defined demographic system along with its relationship to other regional socio-economic systems. The third approach stands in demographic studies. Geodemography is considered as part of demographic and geodemographic situation as existed at the area ratio of fertility, mortality, migration, what creating a defined population structure and dynamics of its population. The prefix “geo”, in our opinion, in this case shows only the territorial aspect of demography and demographic processes that have casual, insignificant character.

Abstract:

The article defines the prerequisites for the development of the professional standard “Demographer”, which is a fundamental stage for the formation of a new model of human resources in the field of demographic development. Content analysis of approved / valid documents revealed the absence of professional and educational standards for training specialists in the field of demography. Generalization and analysis of information on the subject area revealed existing problems, primarily in the field of public administration in the field of ensuring demographic security. The synthesis of modern methodological approaches made it possible to formulate the conclusion that demography as an independent type of activity (along with practical, scientific, etc.) has its own specialized (demographic) technologies and in modern conditions there is an urgent need to train professional personnel – “demographers”. Comparison of the All-Russian Classifier of Occupations (OKZ) with the International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) and the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) and the emerging need for specialists-demographers were the basis for the implementation of the Institute for Demographic Research FCTAS RAS of an initiative project to develop a professional standard “Demographer”, which determines the conditions and opportunities for the development of education in the field of demography. The pool of developers makes it possible to formulate professional knowledge and skills (competencies) of both specific and interdisciplinary nature as much as possible, which determines the possibilities of work of demographers in various fields of science and practice. The professional standard “Demographer” will fully present and systematize uniform requirements for labor activity, as well as formulate requirements for graduates of professional educational organizations. The purpose of the study is to develop a systematic approach to the formation of a new model of human resources in the field of demographic development. The development of the professional standard “Demograf” is considered to be the basic stage in the formation of a modern system of training highly qualified personnel. As a result of the adoption / approval of the professional standard “Demographer”, the possibilities of training specialists-demographers will be revealed both within the framework of the currently implemented areas of education, and in the future, to single out an independent direction of preparation of higher education “Demographer”, to develop educational standards for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Abstract:

The article substantiates the usefulness of the development and adoption of the professional standard “Demographer” in the aspect of its significance for scientific-methodological, expert-analytical support for the development and implementation of priority national projects and programs in the field of demographic and socio-economic development of Russia. The purpose of the article is to reveal the directions and mechanisms of the development and application of the professional standard “Demographer”. The implemented content analysis of the approved / current regulations and documents revealed a vacuum in the field of training demographers, which is determined by the lack of appropriate standards, both professional and educational. Generalization, analysis and synthesis of fundamental knowledge about the subject area gave strong grounds to believe that in modern conditions of aggravation of demographic threats to the national security of the country, it is extremely necessary to train professional personnel – “demographers” who own specialized demographic technologies and are able to scientifically soundly develop effective measures in the field of ensuring demographic security. Factological and structural-functional analysis, a systematic approach to identifying the specifics of demography as a science and practical activity made it possible to more substantively present the conceptual foundations for the formation of a new model of human resources in the field of demographic development, people-saving, which is based on the professional standard “Demographer”. In January 2021, on an initiative basis, the developers represented by IDI FCTAS RAS and the Scientific Council “Demographic and Migration Problems of Russia” launched the process of developing the professional standard “Demographer” and formed a working group. The presented mechanism for the development of the draft professional standard “Demographer” includes the current state of research on this issue; analysis of the existing demographic situation, information on the prospects for the development of the type of professional activity of the demographer; discussion of comments and suggestions received from the expert community in the process of public discussion in a professional environment; finalization of the draft professional standard, taking into account the comments of the Council on professional qualifications in the field of labor safety, social protection and employment of the population.

Abstract:

Population growth and size have remained the focus of debate for centuries but the recent demographic transition in developing countries has made social scientists take note of the changing age structure of the population as well. As a result of declining population growth and consequent changes in age structure, the proportion of working-age population is increasing in most developing countries. An associated decline in the dependent age population offers a window of opportunity, referred to as the ‘demographic dividend’. Pakistan is also going through the demographic transition, and is experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime demographic dividend as the working-age population bulges and the dependency ratio declines. This paper looks into the demographic dividend being offered to Pakistan and its implications for the country, mainly through three mechanisms: labour supply, savings, and human capital. For economic benefits to materialise, there is a need for policies dealing with education, public health, and those that promote labour market flexibility and provide incentives for investment and savings. On the contrary, if appropriate policies are not formulated, the demographic dividend might, in fact, be a cost, leading to unemployment and an unbearable strain on education, health, and old age security.

Abstract:

The main purpose of the article is to analyze the use of the term «demographic losses» in the study of the destructive events consequences for the population number and structure, in particular, the Holodomor of 1932 – 1933. Research methods: comparative, logical, historical, analysis and synthesis, systematic, historical-genetic, method of historiographical image. The paper studies leading concepts of demographic terminology. It is specially noted on little-known aspects of Ukrainian terminology legacy as like Yuriy Shevelov researches. The problems of modern Ukrainian and world terminology are described. The article reports on methodological toolkit for the creation of terms by domestic and foreign demographics. Ptoukha Institute for Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has been recognized as the leading scientific center for the demographic terms creation. Special demographic terminology, including functioning and purpose of the «demographic losses» concept is considered. The article is concerned with a significant tradition of the population history. The meaning of the «demographic losses» concept for studying past social disasters is investigated. The author outlines the main components of the term: the death rate and birth deficiency. The article reveals this concept and scrutinize it critique in historiography. The semantics of the term in scientific literature and demographic dictionaries is covered. Special attention is given to replace the notion of demographic losses with similar indefinite terms: victims, deaths, deaths, etc. The use of the term in the study of the demographic history of Ukraine during the Holodomor of 1932-1933 is emphasized. Practical significance: recommended for use by authors of articles about the population history.

Abstract:

The significant contributions of demographic—economic modelling to the area of impact assessment are recognised, but it is argued that much greater attention must be focused on the demographic components of these models. In particular, distinctions between household types must be treated more adequately, and mechanisms for changes in household type must be articulated and refined. The inadequacy of the current state of demographic—economic models in this regard is demonstrated by a reconsideration of the early basic formulation of Madden and Batey, upon which much of the subsequent literature draws. The simple failure of this model to allocate new jobs to unemployed nonheads of households illustrates the need for increased focus on the demographic aspect of demo—economic models.

Abstract:

The skill shortage is becoming an ever-increasing challenge for Information Technology (IT) departments. To allocate the resources in the best possible way is even more important. The challenge is to improve the company not only on the side of the organizational and process level, but to develop new strategies and approaches in human resource management. Only a symbiosis of these disciplines will enable relevant and indispensable employees to promote loyalty to the company. A frequent change of the work place, for a well-trained professional, is so long associated with normality until they find the best environment for their needs and expectations. These expectations are no longer just on a financial level. This work will analyse the previous work on these topics and demonstrate first conclusions regarding a way forward.

Abstract:

AbstractThe seasonality of demographic data has been of great interest. It depends mainly on the climatic conditions, and the findings may vary from study to study. Commonly, the studies are based on monthly data. The population at risk plays a central role. For births or deaths over short periods, the population at risk is proportional to the lengths of the months. Hence, one must analyze the number of births (and deaths) per day. If one studies the seasonality of multiple maternities, the population at risk is the total monthly number of confinements and the number of multiple maternities in a given month must be compared with the monthly number of all maternities. Consequently, when one considers the monthly rates of multiple maternities, the monthly number of births is eliminated and one obtains an unaffected seasonality measure of the rates. In general, comparisons between the seasonality of different data sets presuppose standardization of the data to indices with common means, mainly 100. If one assumes seasonality as ‘non-flatness’ throughout a year, a chi-squared test would be an option, but this test calculates only the heterogeneity and the same test statistic can be obtained for data sets with extreme values occurring in consecutive months or in separate months. Hence, chi-squared tests for seasonality are weak because of this arbitrariness and cannot be considered a model test. When seasonal models are applied, one must pay special attention to how well the applied model fits the data. If the goodness of fit is poor, nonsignificant models obtained can erroneously lead to statements that the seasonality is slight, although the observed seasonal fluctuations are marked. In this study, we investigate how the application of seasonal models can be applied to different demographic variables.

Abstract:

A principle of demographic uniformitarianism underpins all research into prehistoric demography (palaeodemography). This principle—which argues for continuity in the evolved mechanisms underlying modern human demographic processes and their response to environmental stimuli between past and present—provides the cross-disciplinary basis for palaeodemographic reconstruction and analysis. Prompted by the recent growth and interest in the field of prehistoric demography, this paper reviews the principle of demographic uniformitarianism, evaluates how it relates to two key debates in palaeodemographic research and seeks to delimit its range of applicability to past human and hominin populations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Cross-disciplinary approaches to prehistoric demography’.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to identify trends in demographic development and features of the socio-demographic policy of the Republic of Zambia in the context of the demographic transition. The main research method is the statistical analysis of the demographic data of the current registration and population censuses of the Republic. The sources of information are demographic statistics and demographic surveys presented in the materials of national agencies and international organizations of the UN system. Zambia is on the path of the demographic transition, but so far remains one of the youngest countries in the world in terms of the average age of the population. The annual population growth rate remains significant at the level of 2.5-3%. The country maintains a high birth rate. As a large cohort of young people enter their reproductive years, the population of the Republic is expected to double in the next 25 years. The demographic situation may exacerbate some socio-economic problems, including an increase in demand for jobs, a shortage of medical care and social services. In this situation, the state socio-demographic policy of Zambia, although focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals until 2030, has not yet fully responded to demographic changes. By 2030, the authorities of the Republic of Zambia have set the achievement of a prosperous nation with an average income as the goal of the country’s development by 2030. In this context, the health of the workforce remains an important component. It is considered that a healthy workforce will allow the country to increase productivity and gain a significant demographic dividend.

Abstract:

Demographic history and dispersal ability are significant factors in determining the genetic composition of a population. In this study, we examined the phylogeographic patterns of Ceriops tagal from the Hainan Island and the Gulf of Thailand in the South China Sea, where there are abundant mangrove species. Nucleotide variations in two chloroplast DNA spacers were compared with trace Ceriops propagule dispersal routes and demographic history. An analysis of Templeton, Crandall and Sing’s (TCS) parsimonious networks and population demographics suggests that the Ceriops population gradually expanded from the northern parts of the South China Sea to the south-western populations in the Gulf of Thailand. Such phylogeographic inferences reflect a postglacial southward shift in the mangrove genetic diversity centre and a connection between the demographic dynamics and the coastal range expansion caused by the sea-level rise in the Pleistocene. Therefore, the phylogeographic pattern and historical demography of mangrove species were affected by glaciations during the Pleistocene such as temperate biota.

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the meaning of the phrase "the woman?s status in the society" that is recognized in demography as an important cultural factor of demographic development and transitional changes. The analysis indicates qualitative shifts in the woman?s status and simultaneously reveals its importance at present, not only in traditional, but also in modern and developed societies. On the other hand, it explains the importance of sex as a biodemographic determinant, and introduces the concept of gender that sheds another light on the concepts of sex and woman?s status in the society and integrates them. Gender regimes that subsume the inferiority of women in public and private social structures are examined from demographic perspective, albeit only in those phenomenological aspects that can be supported by demographic research, theories, and analyses. To this end, the paper analyzes the effects of strengthening gender equalities on the fertility and mortality transitions, the gender?s impact on the population distribution by sex in South Asian countries, and highlights the key role of gender in interpreting certain social and economic structures. It also stresses the establishing of gender equality as an important element of population policies. The global dimension of the patriarchal society is illustrated through a series of examples of demographic phenomena from various societies. Gender regimes underlie all of these phenomena. The paper puts foreword certain theoretical hypotheses about gender inequalities, and finds their connections with demographic behaviors and demographic indicators. Finally, it summarizes the role of demography in gender (in)equality research and the demographic perspective of the way and the speed the demographic equality is being established. Demography is seen as an irreplaceable discipline in examining gender inequalities, especially at the global level. With the advance of qualitative methods in demography and with its multidisciplinary nature, demography gets closer and closer to the field of "woman issues".

Abstract:

Actual problems of the geostrategic territories’ demographic development are remaining a serious challenge for the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation. Demographic contraction, a drop in the birth rate and an outflow of the population lead to depopulation and desertification of key regions and hinder effective development and economic activity. Solving the most complex problems related to issues of spatial development requires the use of new theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of demographic processes in the territorial context, as well as modern tools for spatial analysis. The article deals with the current demographic problems of the geostrategic and border areas of Russian Federation through the prism of spatial demography, a scientific direction that is practically not represented in Russia. The main attention of the authors is paid to the study of definitions and methodological apparatus of spatial demography in foreign science. Differences in the subject of research between population geography, regional demography and spatial demography are considered. The author's definition of spatial demography, its subject and research approaches are formulated. The authors propose an alternative approach to the study of the problems of the demographic development of the territory, using methods of spatial analysis (including cartographic materials and GIS models). The paper presents both the theoretical aspects of the concept of «spatial demography» and the assessment of the current demographic situation of the geostrategic regions of the country based on the proposed methodology and mapping of key trends in the demographic development of Russia's geostrategic territories. The authors paid special attention to the study of demographic trends in the municipalities of the geostrategic territories of Siberia and the Far East in the context of their special geographical and resource potential, as well as the complexity of the demographic situation.

Abstract:

The main goal of the state policy in the field of demography is to ensure the growth of population reproduction in accordance with the country’s development strategy by eliminating negative trends in demographic processes. Demographic processes can be assessed by country, region and district. In this regard, demographic surveys can be conducted at the state, regional and individual levels. The implementation of an effective demographic policy in the country is an integral part of the e-government system. The article is devoted to the analysis of demographic characteristics based on the data of social network users. The spread of the Internet and digital technologies has created new opportunities for demographic research. To this end, the article analyzes demography as a field of multidisciplinary research and shows the importance of data collected in social networks for demographic research. This includes the use of data collected in the analytical systems of social networking services as a new source of information for demographic research. The article discusses foreign experience and current scientific and practical studies in the field of electronic demography, identifies current areas of research and analyzes their state-of-the-art. The paper explores the social network analysis systems and their classification by characteristics.
