Russia is staring down a long-term economic threat that could outlast both the war in Ukraine and Western sanctions: a deepening demographic crisis.
On Tuesday, Labor Minister Anton Kotyakov underscored the scale of the problem during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
"Today, according to our estimates, by 2030 we need to involve 10.9 million people in the economy," Kotyakov told Putin, according to a post from the Kremlin.
Kotyakov said the number is required to replace 10.1 million people who will reach retirement age, and 800,000 new jobs.
Kotyakov warned that if productivity growth falls short of the assumptions built into the current forecast, there could be "an additional shortage of personnel."
The remarks came during a Kremlin meeting focused on demographics and healthcare. Members of Putin's cabinet discussed efforts to boost birth rates, including financial incentives like cash payouts and tax breaks for large families.
Putin has made population growth a national priority, calling it a matter of "ethnic survival" and encouraging women to have as many as eight children.
In 2024, births in Russia fell to 1.22 million — the lowest level since 1999 — while deaths increased by 3.3% to 1.82 million, according to official data. The country's population was about 146 million last year.

Send them our illegals.
one of the reasons he wants Ukraine.
Wonder how war casualties have affected the numbers.
“Kotyakov said the number is required to replace 10.1 million people who will reach retirement age,”
Put8n has depleted the state retirement fund to pay for his two week war.
No problem. He moved the retirement age to 65. The average male has a life expectancy of 64!
Wonder how war casualties have affected the numbers.
He thought he was going to take Kyiv in three days.
I hear that North Korea has people to spare.
Yes, so it makes sense that they should send tens, even hundreds, of thousands of their strongest young men to die in a meat grinder war.

Nah. They’d expect welfare.
Milley Vanilli thought The Putin was going to take Kyiv in three days, when Milley wasn't selling out to Xi.
“Putin has made population growth a national priority, calling it a matter of “ethnic survival” and encouraging women to have as many as eight children.”
Russia birth rate is down 1.4. So much for Christian paradise Putin’s Freeper team promised.
That makes no sense at all.
And this war isn’t helping things for the Slav either.
Sun Tzu: If you can’t win a real war, at least you can win a propaganda war on the interweb.
i read that they planned to add 1 million indian workers.
i mean if they are sending all their white russian pruebreds to be killed at the front line, they need to replace the workers with brown people to pick potatoes.
at least the norks are helping out with some of that.
With their huge Muslim population it seems like they would be helping Russia grow in population.
Hmm... Looks like we now have a place to resettle those squatters from the Gaza strip.
HAMAS... Welcome to Russia.
