Scheme of the permanent population by districts of the city (for kyiv). Comparison of modern data and data of the ussr

Abstract

The census is a "photograph" of the population of a city or country as a whole. This "snapshot" is taken periodically. In Ukraine, the census is conducted once every 10 years in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On All-Ukrainian Census", Art. 7. The census allows you to find out the exact population, information about its composition and living conditions, as well as the opportunity to assess how these indicators have changed since the previous census.

The city of Kyiv faces the problem of determining the real population. A feature of the demographic development of the capital is a significant influx of migrants, some of whom are not covered by registration in accordance with national legislation. Thus, the assessment of the population of Kyiv is a serious and practical problem, due to the determination of the actual needs for goods and services, as well as the burden on utilities, transport, and social infrastructure.

It should be noted that it is also possible to estimate the population of Kyiv with the help of the State Register of Voters. It is clear that these data do not take into account groups that do not participate in national elections, but due to the constant updating of data, it is possible to more rationally estimate the number of citizens.

According to statistics, the population of Kyiv continues to grow, and the number of city residents who actually live in Kyiv significantly exceeds the number of permanent residents.

This situation has both positive aspects - maintaining a sufficient level of labor resources, incentives and resources for future economic and social development, and negative - pendulum migration, which leads to a load on infrastructure, ensuring the harmonious coexistence of indigenous and immigrant populations.

This article examines the census of Kyiv from 1874 to 2021 and the factors influencing migration processes.
