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.

hey we got plenty sneaker inners, what a great idea, lets make a deal.
That was my first instinct, send every ship and plane you got and we will fill them in no time at no charge.
**Illegal aliens, “migrants”, criminals, and mud people don’t make for a coherent society.**
Norks do the grunt work and go home after 6 months. Kim harvests the money as the workers don’t have anything to spend it on.
When your men are all being killed in a war then it tends to reduce not only the current population, but also the regenerative population. Ukraine is going face the same thing.
I BELIEVE Russia has the highest abortion rates/percentage in the world.
Along with a big problem with drinking too much VODKA.
Down south they used to call that problem Whiskey D#ck.
In Moscow I guess it is Vodka D#ck.
I thought AI was supposed to fix this.
That’s OK. They are importing a million Indians.
Soon Moscow will smell like borscht farts AND curry.
Wow, a good place to deport illegals now in the US.
Do you really think Putin cares about the human losses?
When has he ever spoken of his policies in people terms?
He has goals; people are the things he uses to reach his goals.
What’s a pruebred?
Good.
Here is a Ukrainian export to America. We really needed this.

You must have missed how many Indians and Muslims that have been spread across America.
We've got our own population problems, problems that endanger social security.
Disagree .
Slavic pop in Europe:
2020: 167.5 million
2021: 166.5 million
2022: 164.5 million
2023: 163.5 million
2024: 162.5 million
2025: 163.5 million
The only reason why the pop went up in 2025 is Russia is claiming something like 4 million in Crimea as “russian” now which counts as Slavic when many are not Slavs at all.
“ Population Decline: Most Slavic countries have low fertility rates (e.g., Russia: 1.41, Poland: ~1.4, Ukraine: ~1.3) below the replacement rate of 2.1, leading to natural population decline.’‘’
So a recalculated correct pop of Slavs in Europe is:
“ 2025: ~154–159 million (midpoint: 156.5 million). Ongoing war losses, no significant return migration, and continued low fertility ensure further decline.”
Spent some time on the actual numbers.
Top birthrates in the world are in Africa. Population growth is likely not a good parameter because immigration can conceal things.
Russia fertility is 1.4, with 2.1 accepted as replacement level.
Various Europe countries — France 1.64 UK 1.54
US 1.62
Avg global fertility is 2.4. All the above below that.

Africa and the Muslim countries are out-reproducing everyone.
We have some 40 million illegal aliens they can have.
Our illegals will not like weather in Russia and they can not shop lift without harsh punishment.
Mexicans do cold just fine.
If Americans could have 4 wives (same as all Muslims) I bet US population will sky rocket.
