Abstract
Introduction. The purpose of this article is to determine the characteristics of the age structure of the population of Russia, identify the predominant age groups, as well as analyze current trends in changes in the age structure and determine the factors determining the process of population aging. Methods. The article utilized statistical and comparative analysis methods, as well as graphical research techniques. A comparative analysis of population structure data was conducted for Russia, Japan, India. Analysis. An analysis of the age structure of the Russian population revealed features such as a wave-like age structure, a consequence of a number of historical and socioeconomic factors. The trend of population aging in Russia has been confirmed. The dynamics of the ratio of the working-age to non-working-age population were examined. Certain common trends in population aging were identified, similar to those in developed countries, particularly Japan. Conclusions. The results of the study can be used in the future for a more detailed study of the impact of the age structure of the Russian population on the economy, and in the development of programs and measures aimed at increasing economic stability and minimizing the negative consequences of population aging.
