The process of Spanish colonization in Northwestern New Spain, here roughly defined as Sonora and the Californias, set into motion a complex set of factors that contributed to demographic change; absolute population decline among the Indian groups involved, the growth of a largely mestizo settler population, and a number of different types of social and economic interactions between the two populations. Scholars in recent years have debated the causes and the nature of change. Alfred Crosby established a framework for the debate in his provocative book entitled The Columbian Exchange, which discusses, as the sub-title implies, the consequences of interaction between the Old and New Worlds after 1492. In a recent study Henry Dobyns elaborated on one of Crosby's principal themes, the introduction and impact of Euro-Asiatic diseases, and prepared a chronology of epidemics between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries that affected Native American populations. Dobyns applied his “epidemic mortality” model to Florida and calculated both a high contact population and the rate of population loss due to each of the major epidemics. The model when applied to all of North America has major implications for our understanding of the course of Native American history. In a recent bibliographic article historical demographer Shelia Johansson cast doubt on the high contact population estimates and the degree of demographic collapse.

In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, there is an increasing need to develop methods for scientifically based assessment of the consequences both at the level of the country's economy and at the regional level. One of the acute problems of the development of the Russian economy in the context of the coronavirus pandemic is the conflict between measures to protect the life and health of people and the fall in economic activity. To support the economy, countries are taking anti-crisis measures, which are aimed primarily at overcoming serious consequences in the most vulnerable sectors. As part of the study, to assess the socio-economic consequences of the epidemic and reproduce forecasts, modern simulation tools are used - agent-based modeling. Agent-based models allow you to use software of various classes, including neural networks, mathematical models, 3D-4D add-ons and other technologies that can visualize the results of scenario predictive estimates and computational experiments. The aim of the study is to develop methods and techniques for forecasting and scenario modeling of the socio-economic consequences of viral epidemics. For the study, a detailed statistical and analytical database was formed, adaptive blocks were developed with the possibility of additional inclusion of indicators. The software implementation included three functional blocks: demographic, economic and epidemiological, as well as three categories of agents within each subject of the Russian Federation with individual characteristics based on accepted world practice. The software tool chosen to implement the research objectives is the platform for creating agent-based models "AnyLogic". The study was carried out on the example of the following subjects of the Russian Federation: Murmansk region, Krasnodar region, Sverdlovsk, Samara and Voronezh regions. Based on the results of the study, an architecture of an agent-based model was developed, which makes it possible to evaluate restrictive measures and regulations in terms of the socio-economic consequences of a pandemic. As a result of the study, methods and algorithms for agent-based modeling of the socio-economic consequences of viral epidemics were developed, taking into account spatial and communicative interactions. To fulfill the objectives of the study, at the first stage, an analysis of scientific methods for forecasting and building various models for assessing the consequences of macroeconomic decisions and models for the spread of viral epidemics was carried out. At the second stage, an agent-based model was developed, which took into account structured and unstructured information, including the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the regions, such as morbidity and mortality, employment rates, as well as measures taken by the regions to counter the spread of COVID-19. In terms of social interaction between agents, the study implemented a dynamic multi-relational (MRN) social network of agents, the structure of which changes during the introduction of quarantine measures that limit the degree of interaction between them. The introduction of different specific values of individual characteristics within a population of agents of the same type makes it possible to assess the socio-economic consequences of viral epidemics with the maximum degree of detail - at the level of individuals. Further development of this area of research will include refinement of the developed model for analyzing the consequences of the spread of viral epidemics in terms of the socio-economic development of territorial systems based on the obtained forecast scenarios.

Relevance. The sudden epidemiological complications that have emerged in the current century have highlighted the serious difficulties on the part of medical services and States in general in responding to epidemiological emergencies of international significance, which required a comprehensive study of the scale of the problem of the negative socio-economic consequences of epidemics for the modern state. The aim of the work was to study the factors that determine the current configuration of medical and social risks in the pre-epidemic period and form the socio-economic significance of epidemics and pandemics in a developed postindustrial society. The results are based on the monitoring, analysis and aggregation of information from specialized national and international industry publications and online resources (medical, socio-economic), as well as materials from peer-reviewed periodicals, on the practical development of author's approaches and assessments of the functioning of the anti-epidemic preparedness system at the international and national levels. Modern factors that aggravate the negative consequences of the pandemic for demography and the state economy in the absence of immunoprophylaxis and specific therapy are identified. Conclusion. The socio-economic significance of epidemiological events in the modern post-industrial society is significantly higher than the predicted level, based on the calculations of the cost of a clinical case of an infectious disease used in the previous century, namely: without including the costs of sanitary and anti-epidemic measures in the foci of the disease, for the deployment of a hospital base; for ensuring a strict anti-epidemic regime of work in medical institutions, for the rehabilitation and restoration of health of persons who have suffered an infectious disease; for the organization of preventive measures in non-medical organizations and enterprises (including information and explanatory work among the population); for the organization of medical care for persons with somatic pathology.

This article provides an overview of recent literature on plagues and other lethal epidemics, covering the period from late Antiquity to ca. 1800. We analyze the main environmental and institutional factors that shaped both the way in which a plague originated and spread and its overall demographic and socioeconomic consequences. We clarify how the same pathogen shows historically different epidemiological characteristics, and how apparently similar epidemics could have deeply different consequences. We discuss current debates about the socioeconomic consequences of the Black Death and other plagues. We conclude with historical lessons to understand modern “plagues.”

Epidemics and pandemics in selected Polish school history textbooks for secondary schools after 1989 The paper presents an analysis of the presentation of major epidemics (pandemics) in the history of mankind in Polish history textbooks for secondary schools published between 1989 and 2020. A qualitative study was carried out on a sample of forty-four textbooks and concerned issues such as: epidemics in antiquity, the so-called “Black Death’ from 1346 to 1353, epidemics in the New World during the period known as the Age of Discovery, and the Spanish flu (the Great Influenza Epidemic) of 1918–1920. This analysis made it possible to formulate conclusions: 1) the medieval “Black Death” epidemic of the XIVth century was presented most fully, both in terms of content and diversity of coverage. This is understandable because of the scale, significance, geographical proximity, and strong roots of this phenomenon in history-teaching literature. “The Black Death” was shown with a broad consideration of the genesis of the phenomenon and its multidirectional demographic, social and economic consequences; 2) the epidemics that took place in the period of antiquity were only to a small extent reflected in the textbooks analyzed. The exception are textbooks by Marek Ziółkowski (editions 1999 and 2002), in which epidemics from the times of the Roman Empire are described in greater detail; 3) in the case of the XVIth-century epidemics from the New World, as well as the Spanish flu, the school reader received what was definitely elementary information, which was not always accurate and precise, without references to the latest scholarly findings; 4) elements of teaching support (maps, tables, illustrations) appeared mainly in the contents dedicated to the “Black Death” and, to a lesser extent, to the XVIth-century epidemics on the American continent; 5) in the textbooks analyzed, there was no clear variation in the way the above-mentioned phenomena were presented in the course of the period discussed.

The article is devoted to the study of the main trends in divorce rates in three subjects of the Russian Federation (Moscow, Saratov and Chelyabinsk regions) over the last decade, considering a number of socio-demographic indicators: gender, age, marriage’s duration, number of children and place of residence. The main tools for collecting data are the method of statistical analysis of marital and family indicators in studied regions for the period from 2011 to 2019; secondary analysis of the research results of domestic and foreign scientists and a survey which was attended by persons aged 18-69 (n = 928). The sample is stratified by sex, age, place of residence. The study found that the initiator of divorce in most cases is a woman. The main reasons for divorce in all studied subjects of Russia are the violation of interpersonal relations, economic and social. The pandemic of COVID-19 has had a negative impact on marriage and family relations, aggravating socio-demographic problems, both in Russia and in most countries of the world.

The purpose of the study is to identify and substantiate the international legal characterization of modern challenges and threats in the field of public health. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the international situation as a whole cannot be characterized as favorable. Demographic problems are growing in the world, poverty, hunger, lack of drinking water are becoming more and more widespread. The question of the emergence of new and the return of already seemingly conquered diseases is acute. Epidemics and pandemics have a complex of causes, conditions and consequences of a political, medical, technological, psychological, economic, social and organizational nature. It is substantiated that one of the real trends in social practice is the problem of the spread of epidemics, pandemics and mass diseases as a possible basis for the international responsibility of states and international organizations. An important legal aspect is the use of the actions of individual states and international organizations. One of the ways out of the crisis is seen in the constant and timely strengthening of national health systems, on the basis of which it was concluded that this will ensure early forecasting of emerging threats, the development of appropriate measures and their localization.

With escalating urbanization, the environmental, demographic, and socio-economic heterogeneity of urban landscapes poses a challenge to mathematical models for the transmission of vector-borne infections. Classical coupled vector–human models typically assume that mosquito abundance is either independent from, or proportional to, human population density, implying a decreasing force of infection, or per capita infection rate with host number. We question these assumptions by introducing an explicit dependence between host and vector densities through different recruitment functions, whose dynamical consequences we examine in a modified model formulation. Contrasting patterns in the force of infection are demonstrated, including in particular increasing trends when recruitment grows sufficiently fast with human density. Interaction of these patterns with seasonality in temperature can give rise to pronounced differences in timing, relative peak sizes, and duration of epidemics. These proposed dependencies explain empirical dengue risk patterns observed in the city of Delhi where socio-economic status has an impact on both human and mosquito densities. These observed risk trends with host density are inconsistent with current standard models. A better understanding of the connection between vector recruitment and host density is needed to address the population dynamics of mosquito-transmitted infections in urban landscapes.

Over time, history has shown us that humanity has faced numerous epidemics and has brought more or less devastating consequences. Migration and spatial mobility of people have over time played a key role in the spread of epidemics, as travel from one region to another has facilitated the transmission of diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of the population, but the most affected category of the population remains migrants, as this category represents on average about 24% of all doctors and 16% of all care staff, who are at the forefront of the sanitary crisis COVID-19. The approach of this paper focuses on presenting and detailing the implications of the pandemic from a demographic and economic point of view. The aim of this paper is to identify the impact of the pandemic on labor market mobility and fiscal-budgetary measures taken by European states in this context. The database used to carry out this work is represented by statistical data taken from the websites of national and European institutions. Compared to the way of presenting the information from the bibliographic references mentioned at the end of the research, in this paper are found only the essential aspects and particularities of the chosen research topic, which contributes to creating an overview of this topic.

De nombreuses sources attestent d’épidémies, et divers récits font référence à des « pestes », noms génériques pour désigner de graves maladies infectieuses épidémiques qui ont marqué l’Empire Romain. Les récits qui nous sont parvenus ne donnent pas ou très rarement des indications sur l’épidémiologie, les symptômes, les signes ou l’évolution des maladies responsables, mais à défaut de pouvoir poser un diagnostic précis il parait plausible, compte-tenu de nos connaissances actuelles, d’avancer des hypothèses sur leur nature. Pour chaque épidémie, l’identification des agents pathogènes potentiellement responsables, et leurs interactions avec les populations du passé, est réalisée. Ensuite, une recherche/compréhension est menée, afin d’expliquer l’apparition de la maladie infectieuse, la dynamique de son comportement temporel et spatial, la taille critique des populations hôtes, l’importance et les effets de modifications environnementales ou bioclimatiques qui ont contribué à sa diffusion. Pour mieux expliciter ces événements épidémiques, un état des lieux des connaissances médicales de l’époque était indispensable : quelles conceptions avaient les médecins des maladies, de leurs causes et de leurs variétés, des notions de transmissibilité des maladies infectieuses. Sont abordés ensuite les différents facteurs démographiques (densité de peuplement, état sanitaire, migrations), socio-économiques (pauvreté, carences nutritionnelles, pressions humaines sur l'environnement), climatiques et écologiques qui, individuellement ou en conjonction, pouvaient favoriser le développement d’une épidémie. Enfin, la perception du risque épidémique, dans ses dimensions cognitives (connaissance et compréhension du risque) et émotionnelle (ressenti du risque et comportement), ainsi que la manière dont l’Etat et les populations s’attachaient à se prémunir ou à subir les flambées épidémiques sont considérées. L’Empire romain a été confronté à des épidémies majeures, premières pandémies meurtrières décrites dans l’histoire qui vont contribuer à son affaiblissement et indirectement à l’essor du christianismeMany sources attest to epidemics, and various stories refer to "plagues", generic names to designate serious epidemic infectious diseases that marked the Roman Empire. The stories that have come down to us do not or very rarely give any information on the epidemiology, symptoms, signs or evolution of the diseases responsible, but in the absence of being able to make a precise diagnosis, it seems plausible, taking into account our current knowledge, to put forward hypotheses on their nature. For each epidemic, the identification of potentially responsible pathogens, and their interactions with past populations, is carried out. Then, a research/understanding is carried out, in order to explain the appearance of the infectious disease, the dynamics of its temporal and spatial behavior, the critical size of the host populations, the importance and the effects of environmental or bioclimatic modifications which have contributed to its dissemination. To better explain these epidemic events, an inventory of medical knowledge of the time was essential: what were the conceptions that doctors had of diseases, their causes and their varieties, notions of the transmissibility of infectious diseases. The various demographic (population density, health status, migrations), socio-economic (poverty, nutritional deficiencies, human pressures on the environment), climatic and ecological factors which individually or in conjunction could favor the development of a epidemic. Finally, the perception of the epidemic risk, in its cognitive (knowledge and understanding of the risk) and emotional (feeling of the risk and behavior) dimensions, as well as the way in which the State and the populations endeavored to protect themselves or to suffer the epidemic outbreaks are considered. The Roman Empire was confronted with major epidemics, the first deadly pandemics described in history which will contribute to its weakening and indirectly to the rise of Christianity

Esta tesis doctoral es una colección de tres artículos. Los capítulos 1 y 2, co-autorados con Joachim Voth, investigan por qué Europa en 1700 ya era más rico que el resto del mundo y por qué Inglaterra fue el primer país en industrializarse. Encontramos que las dinámicas de la población, en lugar del crecimiento de la productividad, fueron los promotores más importantes del desarrollo económico de Europa Occidental durante la temprana edad moderna (1450-1700). Calibramos un modelo probabilístico para representar Inglaterra en 1700 y encontramos que ingresos iniciales más altos unidos a limitaciones de fertilidad aumentaron la probabilidad de industrialización. En el tercer capítulo, presento un nuevo hecho estilizado y analizo su contribución al sesgo del cambio tecnológico hacia los trabajadores más cualificados: El porcentaje de trabajadores cualificados en la producción intermedia está altamente correlacionado con la proporción de trabajo cualificado en la producción final. Esto genera un efecto multiplicador que refuerza la demanda de trabajo cualificado a lo largo de la cadena de producción. El efecto es importante, explica más de un tercio del aumento de la demanda de trabajadores cualificados en la industria manufacturera de EE.UU.This dissertation is a collection of three essays. Chapters 1 and 2, co-authored with Joachim Voth, investigate the question why Europe in 1700 was ahead of the rest of the world and why England was the first country to industrialize. We find that population dynamics, rather than productivity growth, were the most important drivers for Western Europe to overtake China in the early modern period (1450-1700). We calibrate a probabilistic model to match England in 1700 and find that higher initial per capita incomes together with fertility limitation increased its industrialization probabilities. In the third chapter, I present a novel stylized fact and analyze its contribution to the skill bias of technical change: The share of skilled labor embedded in intermediate inputs correlates strongly with the skill share employed in final production. This delivers a multiplier that reinforces skill demand along the production chain. The effect is large, accounting for more than one third of the observed skill upgrading in U.S. manufacturing.

Background: Economic integration activities in modern globalized world increasingly
involve international movements of labor. Inthe case of the Ukraine, the country is one of the
top ten donors of the labor force, where both, temporary and permanent migrant workers
account for about 10% of the Ukraine’s total population. Considering that remittances
received in Ukraine from its migrants workers are estimated to be about 4% of the Gross
Domestic Product, there are grounds to claim that high flow of labor and workers remittance
flows have been influencing the country's economic development in resent years.
Purpose: The purposeof this paper is to analyze the impact of migration and remittances,
and examine their consequences on the Ukraine's economy.
Practical Approach: Different forms of secondary empirical material of both qualitative
and quantitative character have been used. Furthermore, to complement the analysis, a survey
among Ukrainian migrants working in Portugal has been conducted.
Results: Ithas been determined that labor migration and remittances haveadual effect on
the Ukraine'seconomy.First, remittances do have a strong short -term boost to domestic
demand that positively affected GDP growth in recent years. Second, however, is that large
financial inflows do not contribute to the business sector but instead generate dependence on
remittances as they are a source of a supplemental income for many thousands of Ukrainian
households; moreover,strong migration trends do not seem to generate more opportunities for
those remaining in the Ukraine.Contexto: As actividades de integração económica domundo globalizado moderno implicam cada vez mais deslocações internacionais de trabalhadores. No caso da Ucrânia, o país é um dos 10 maiores a enviarforça laboral para o exterior, onde tanto os trabalhadores emigrantes temporários, como os permanentes representam cerca de10% do total da população ucraniana. Tendo em consideração as remessas recebidas na Ucrânia, oriundas dos seus trabalhadores emigrantes e estimadasem cerca de 4% do Produto Interno Bruto, existe fundamento para preconizar que o elevado fluxo de trabalho e remessas de trabalhadores têm influenciado o desenvolvimento da economia do país nos últimos anos. Objectivo: O objetivodeste relatório é analisar o impacto da emigração e o das respetivas remessas e examinar as suas consequências na economia da Ucrânia. Metodologia: Foram utilizadas diferentes formas de materialempírico secundáriode características tanto quantitativas como qualitativas. Além disso, para complementar a análise, foi realizado um estudo entre emigrantes ucranianos a trabalhar actualmente em Portugal. Resultados: Determinou-se que a migração laboral e as remissas desencadeiamum efeito duplo na economia ucraniana. Numa primeira instância, as remissas potenciam fortemente o poder de compra doméstico a curto prazo, o que afectou positivamente o crescimento de PIB nos últimos anos. No entanto, numa segunda fase encontram -se os vastos fluxos financeiros internos que não contribuem para o sector de negócios, mas que, em vez disso , provocam dependências das remissas como uma fonte de rendimento suplementar para muitos milhares de lares ucranianos; mais ainda, as fortes tendências migratórias não parecem proporcionar mais oportunidades para os que permanecem na Ucrânia.

AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of economic, cultural and institutional narratives capable of explaining cross-national variation in the consequences of childhood disadvantage for socio-demographic outcomes in adulthood. However, testing these explanations is often hard, given a series of methodological challenges. Next, the ways in which the Contexts of Opportunity Project has tackled these challenges and its key results are presented. Childhood disadvantage has pervasive consequences for demographic outcomes in young adulthood and socio-economic and well-being outcomes in later adulthood. Strong cross-national variation in the strength of these relationships is observed, though. Childhood disadvantage often seems to have weaker consequences in more individualized societies. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future challenges for demographic research on cross-national differences.

Abstract The Eight Ds model (Carson and Carson 2014) explains the unique characteristics of human and economic geography for sparsely populated areas (SPAs) as disconnected, discontinuous, diverse, detailed, dynamic, distant, dependent and delicate. According to the model, SPAs are subject to dramatic changes in demographic characteristics that result from both identifiable black swan events and less apparent tipping points in longer-term processes of demographic change (Carson et al. 2011). The conceptual foundations for this assertion are clear. Populations in SPAs can experience large and long-term impacts on the overall demographic structure as a result of decisions by a relatively small number of people. High levels of migration and mobility cause constant shifts in the demographic profile and prime SPAs to adapt to many different demographic states (Carson and Carson 2014). The Northern Territory of Australia, for example, experienced previously unseen waves of pre-retirement aged migrants in the past decade or so (Martel et al. 2013) as evidence of detailed but important changes to past trends. However, while dramatic demographic changes are conceptually possible and occasionally observable, there have been few attempts to examine the conditions under which such changes are likely to occur or not to occur. This is an important question particularly in relation to black swan events such as natural disasters because effective disaster management policy and planning is at least partially dependent on understanding who is affected and in what ways (Bird et al. 2013).

AbstractAn individual choice paradigm, focusing on individual preferences and values, has long dominated our understanding of socio-demographic outcomes. Recently, a trend towards an unequal choice paradigm, stressing how inequality in opportunities structures socio-demographic outcomes, is observed. This chapter outlines these changes and argues for a comparative perspective to examine how childhood disadvantage impacts these socio-demographic outcomes. The expectation is that the consequences of childhood disadvantage for demographic outcomes in young adulthood and for socio-economic and well-being outcomes in middle and late adulthood depend on the opportunities that national contexts offer to abate the adverse impact of economic and social deprivation. Subsequently, all chapters of the book are briefly introduced and their contribution to understanding this key issue is discussed.

Abstract Human history has witnessed several major disasters that have affected the economic, social and environmental conditions of their respective regions. The nuclear disaster of Chernobyl (1986, Ukraine, that time the Soviet Union) and Fukushima (2011, Japan) appears to be the most significant disasters in terms of negative outcomes produced for their population over a long time. Despite this, the analysis of the socio-economic outcomes of these disasters has attracted much less scientific attention than health or radiation-related issues (UNDP 2002a; Lehman and Wadsworth 2009, 2011). Although nuclear accidents are deemed to be rare events, the Fukushima disaster occurred only 25 years after Chernobyl. These disasters highlighted the need for a detailed long-term socio-economic analysis of these accidents to acquire sufficient knowledge to be applied when considering new construction sites for nuclear power facilities (Lehman and Wadsworth 2011). This chapter focuses on the problem of permanent resettlement resulting from nuclear disasters and its effects on regional demographic trajectories and spatial shifts. Based on the results of this study we argue that mass displacement after a nuclear disaster rather than the radiation itself has a much more significant impact on deteriorating health, natural reproduction and economic performance of the affected population. Furthermore, given the differences in radio-ecological conditions, reconstruction policy and the time framework, Fukushima may demonstrate demographic consequences that are different from the Chernobyl case.

Abstract Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) are highly contagious epidemics with the potential for very rapid spread, causing serious economic and sometimes public health consequences while threatening farmers' livelihoods. TADs often cause high morbidity and mortality in susceptible animal populations. Some TADs are also emerging infectious diseases, food-borne diseases and/or zoonoses: these are covered in other chapters. This chapter covers those high-impact, highly contagious animal diseases, such as foot-andmouth disease (FMD), that do not infect humans but do affect food and nutrition security and trade that the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) has been working on since the 1990s. These are: African swine fever (ASF), mycoplasma disease (both contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP)), peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and Newcastle disease (ND). Other TADs, which were to a lesser degree the focus of ILRI research, are briefly mentioned (including FMD, classical swine fever (CSF) and rinderpest).

The Covid-19 epidemic has generated an environment full of confusion and instability among global economies. It has put enormous strain on the governments and the economies, both on an international and national scale. No single day goes by without news about the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic’s devastating economic, health, and emotional well-being. The intensity of its burnt is unprecedented since it is a humanitarian crisis that has generated shock to the global economic system. The crisis had a significant influence on economic activities all over the world, but on the other hand, it boosted the presence of women as entrepreneurs, resulting in a shift in the demographic features of business and economic processes. This research investigated how women entrepreneurs had to deal with all of this during Covid-19. The study exemplifies the difficulties that a female entrepreneur faces as a result of the crisis. Furthermore, it sheds light on the strategies used by female entrepreneurs to deal with the impacts of the crisis in order to safeguard their businesses. The focus of the paper is also on the associated obstacles, challenges, and potential solutions for the emergence of female entrepreneurs in this pandemic era. We provide a paradigm to aid in making sense of how gender and entrepreneurship research is currently framed and positioned. The possibilities in disguise and future potentials that will alter women’s choices and talents following the Covid-19 outbreak have been briefly examined. Women entrepreneurs have the potential to convert the Covid-19 critical point into an even better opportunity. This study is unique in that it will serve as the foundation for many future studies that will strive to investigate further the status of difficulties and opportunities for women entrepreneurs to manage and sustain their entrepreneurial endeavors effectively.

The demographic decline affects the existence of the state perspective, compromises the economic development, the well-being of the whole society, a phenomenon that has the characteristics of a latent demographic crisis. Factors are interconnected and have a significant impact on changes in demographic structure (age, gender). Demographic aging has mainly affected rural and urban areas, reaching maximum levels of over 18%, and population losses reach 30% for some administrative units.

A study raises issues of the influence of quarantine restrictions and pandemic on the regional socio-demographic development. Even though the consequences of COVID-19 will become fully evident only at the end of 2021, this pandemic is already negatively affecting fertility and fertility behaviour. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, in 2020, the demographic situation was unfavourable: the number of births decreased in 78 constituent entities, and the number of deaths increased in 62 regions. Simultaneously, in the whole country, there were almost 1.5 times more deaths than births (last year, this difference was 1.2 times). Migration in an increasingly globalised world has triggered the accelerated spread of the disease. Therefore, border closures and quarantine measures (classic methods of combating epidemics and pandemics) for regions at high risk of infection drastically reduce the scale of population movement, change traditional migration directions, and create significant problems for migrants. Thus, this study aims to identify and substantiate risk factors to reduce the destabilisation of the regional socio-demographic development and form a sustainable regional policy.

The article analyses the changes in the age and sex structure of the Russian population over the past 20 years. The presented analysis of age and sex pyramids in 2000 and 2020 demonstrates the influence of demographic waves and events associated with them. The dynamics of indicators used to assess the transformation of the sex and age structure are considered in detail. These indicators include the share of the population of working and non-working age, the average age of the population, the coefficient of demographic load, the ageing index. The intensification of the population ageing process in the Russian Federation is noted. At the end of the article, possible social and economic consequences of the transformation of the sex and age structure are considered.

The transition of the European former socialist countries had different consequences on their development. Most of the countries did not achieve the expected successes. The border regions in this context become connectors and initiators of the cross-border cooperation, due to the relation intensification between the transition countries and the developed countries of the European Union. The research studies the impact of the transition on the integration of the Baranja within the framework of the national and wider regional market - especially in the conditions of globalization, changes in the geographical position and the meaning of borders within the framework of the European Union and the Schengen area. The area of Baranja is organized as part of the Osijek-Baranja County, organized through nine local self-government units and 52 settlements, one of which is a town. Differences in the forms and intensity of spatial processes in the transition are conditioned by the location, traffic accessibility and the change in the meaning of the main centres of work and have influenced the strengthening of negative demographic processes near the state border. A demogeographical analysis was made according to the data available from authorized databases and supplemented by the research interview method. Demographic dynamics, total population change and changes in population structures from 1991 to the recent period, 2021, were analysed. A comparison of the age index over time indicates an advanced process of senility and the absence of bioreproductive potential. Traditionally low birth rates, war events and emigration of the population have had a negative impact on the recent regional demographic and economic development. In addition to intensive emigration, which was most pronounced in the nineties and after the accession to the European Union, this cumulatively adds to the impossibility of valorising the economic potential. Despite the expected development shifts through the process of transition, in the case of the border region of Baranja, the result is the opposite. In order to confirm this, the method of calculating a synthetic indicator, the index of demographic resources, was used. The components of the index are the demographic index and the education index and clearly indicate the collapse of the demographic potential in the observed area. Microsoft Excel and Arc Map 9.3 techniques were used for tabular analysis of statistical data and visualization of selected parameters. The region lags behind the national and European average because, at the beginning of the system reforms, it was not brought to an equally position to participate in development. New opportunities for the researched area appear due to the change in geographical position by joining the European Union and the Schengen area. A possible solution to stagnation would be economic development based on a multi-sectoral model of economic development. For the stabilization of rural areas and the inclusion of Baranja in regional flows and the European market, a more coherent spatial organization is necessary, with the functional strengthening of central settlements. The construction of the Vc corridor opens numerous opportunities for networking, cross-border cooperation and territorial cohesion.

In this article, an assessment of the changes in the balance between revenues and expenditures of the social insurance budget was carry out on the basis the analysis of the consequences of demographic ageing as an irreversible factor of change in the age structure of labour market, as well as transformational changes in the pension system. In order to assess the financial stability of the social insurance budget for the coming period, mechanism for assessing the expenditures of pension provision proposed by the authors was used. There is examined the issue of financial consequences of the reduction in the number of employees. Based on the results of research the proposals for improving socio-economic policies were developed, taking into account the use of modern innovative methods, approaches and forecast calculations to mitigate the impact of demographic factors.

The demographic situation in the Republic of Moldova during the years of state independence has changed considerably in the sense of its aggravation to the socio-demographic indicators. The economic transition also had negative consequences on the demographic evolution. The geodemographic trends are similar to the states in the region and have negative or positive values for most demographic indicators attesting to demographic insecurity.

Megatrends affecting families are closely interconnected. Demographic change occurs as families adapt to changing social, economic, cultural, and environmental contexts. This change, in turn, can prompt migration both within and across national boundaries. Migration is linked to increasing urbanization as families seek to improve their wellbeing through resources typically concentrated in urban areas. Even so, as families migrate to urban areas, they may struggle to find adequate and affordable housing, sufficient food, suitable employment, care for dependent children and adults, and accessible health care. These challenges motivate us to examine how governments and civil society organizations are attempting to ensure the wellbeing of families under such transition and uncertainty. This paper explores interlinkages between three megatrends identified by the United Nations1that affect family wellbeing—demographic change, migration, and urbanization—with consideration of policy implications for families in Canada. The focus is on two leading demographic trends common to other high-income nations: decreasing fertility rate and aging populations. Another demographic trend, the increasing proportion of immigrant populations in Canada, is also examined with attention to consequences for family wellbeing.

This report aims to present findings of the research conducted in Poland within the Work Package 1 of the Welcoming Spaces project, namely “Welcoming spaces” in relation to economic viability, social wellbeing and political stability in shrinking regions. The main aim of the mentioned research was to examine how welcoming initiatives are organised and implemented in the selected shrinking localities in Poland. In particular, the creation of welcoming initiatives concerning social wellbeing, economic viability and political stability was assessed. To accomplish this objective, five localities were selected purposefully, namely Łomża (city with powiat status) and Zambrów (urban commune) in Podlaskie Voivodeship and Łuków (town), Wohyń (rural commune) and Zalesie (rural commune) in Lubelskie Voivodeship. Within these localities, 23 welcoming initiatives were identified, out of which 12 were chosen for in-depth research. The field research was conducted in all five localities between March and December 2021. During this period, the SGH Warsaw School of Economics team conducted 43 interviews with institutional stakeholders (representatives of local governments, schools, non-governmental organisations – NGOs, religious organisations and private companies) and individuals (both migrant newcomers and native residents). In addition, local government representatives were surveyed to compare their policies, measures and stances toward migrant inhabitants and local development. The research was also complemented with the literature review, policy documents analysis, and local media outlets discourse analysis. Until February 2022 and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, welcoming spaces in Poland were scarce and spatially limited to the big cities like Warsaw, Cracow, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Lublin or Białystok, governed by liberal mayors and city councils open to accept migrants and treat them as a valuable human asset of the city community. However, in smaller cities, towns and rural areas, especially in shrinking regions, welcoming spaces have been highly conditioned by welcoming initiatives carried out mainly by civil society organisations (CSOs). It is very likely that the war in Ukraine will completely change the situation we write about in this country report. However, this crisis and its consequences were not the subjects of our desk research and fieldwork in Poland, which ended in December 2021. As of late July 2022, the number of border crossings from Ukraine to Poland is almost 5 million and the number of forced migrants registered for temporary protection or similar national protection scheme concern 1.3 million people (UNHCR 2022). However, the number of those who have decided to stay in Poland is estimated at around 1.5 million (Duszczyk and Kaczmarczyk 2022). Such a large influx of forced migrants from Ukraine within five months already affects the demographic situation in the country and access to public services, mainly in large and medium-size cities1 . Depending on the development of events in Ukraine and the number of migrants who will decide to stay in Poland in the following months, the functioning of the domestic labour market, education, health service, and social assistance may significantly change. The following months may also bring new changes in the law relating to foreigners, aimed at their easier integration in the country. Access to housing in cities is already a considerable challenge, which may result in measures to encourage foreigners to settle in smaller towns and rural areas. Given these dynamic changes in the migration situation of the country, as well as in the area of admission and integration activities, Poland seems to be slowly becoming one great welcoming space. It is worth mentioning that the main institutional actors in this area have been NGOs and local governments since the beginning of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. An important supporting and coordinating role has also been played by international organisations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which launched its inter-agency Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) in early spring to address the most urgent needs of the population of forced migrants and their host countries in this part of Europe (UNHCR 2022a; UNHCR 2022b; UNHCR 2022c). Based on the number of newly emerged welcoming initiatives and the pace of this emergence, they will soon become an everyday reality for every municipality in Poland. Therefore, it is difficult to find more up-todate circumstances for the “Welcoming Spaces” project objective, which is “to rethink ways forward in creating inclusive space in such a way that it will contribute firstly to the successful integration of migrants in demographically and economically shrinking areas and simultaneously to the revitalization of these places”. Furthermore, the initiatives we selected as case studies for our research should be widely promoted and treated as a model of migrants’ inclusion into the new communities. On the other hand, we need to emphasize here that the empirical material was collected between March and December 2021, before the outbreak of war in Ukraine. As such, it does not reflect the new reality in Poland

Анотація:
While we are exposed to the physical effects of natural hazard processes, certain groups within a community often bear a disproportionate share of the negative consequences when a disaster strikes. This study addresses questions of why some places and population groups in Canada are more vulnerable to natural hazard processes than others, who is most likely to bear the greatest burden of risk within a given community or region, and what are the underlying factors that disproportionally affect the capacities of individuals and groups to withstand, cope with, and recover from the impacts and downstream consequences of a disaster. Our assessment of social vulnerability is based on principles and analytic methods established as part of the Hazards of Place model (Hewitt et al., 1971; Cutter, 1996), and a corresponding framework of indicators derived from demographic information compiled as part of the 2016 national census. Social determinants of hazard threat are evaluated in the context of backbone patterns that are associated with different types of human settlement (i.e., metropolitan, rural, and remote), and more detailed patterns of land use that reflect physical characteristics of the built environment and related functions that support the day-to-day needs of residents and businesses at the community level. Underlying factors that contribute to regional patterns of social vulnerability are evaluated through the lens of family structure and level of community connectedness (social capital); the ability of individuals and groups to take actions on their own to manage the outcomes of unexpected hazard events (autonomy); shelter conditions that will influence the relative degree of household displacement and reliance on emergency services (housing); and the economic means to sustain the requirements of day-to-day living (e.g., shelter, food, water, basic services) during periods of disruption that can affect employment and other sources of income (financial agency). Results of this study build on and contribute to ongoing research and development efforts within Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to better understand the social and physical determinants of natural hazard risk in support of emergency management and broader dimensions of disaster resilience planning that are undertaken at a community level. Analytic methods and results described in this study are made available as part of an Open Source platform and provide a base of evidence that will be relevant to emergency planners, local authorities and supporting organizations responsible for managing the immediate physical impacts of natural hazard events in Canada, and planners responsible for the integration of disaster resilience principles into the broader context of sustainable land use and community development at the municipal level.
