Serbia has been facing an economic crisis for the last two decades, which is one of the causes of poor demographic situation in the country. Along with low or negative rates of population growth and ageing of population, the majority of municipalities in Vojvodina have a negative migration balance. Vojvodina is characterized by long-term trend in the decrease of young population and the increase of old population. These two processes are affected by low birth rate and life expectancy increase. The bad economic situation and the ageing of population are especially apparent in mountainous areas and peripherally located settlements. This situation has not bypassed Besenovo, mountainous village of Fruska Gora. Field research and conduction of the questionnaire have found out that the population of this village is not satisfied with the basic living standard.

Demographic Processes

This paper analyzes the contemporary demographic processes and trends in the case of the region Polimlje-Ibar. Population analyzed area is characterized by a steady decline in relation to the dynamics of the population Montenegro. Thus in 1948 the population of the region is seemed 26.8% of the population Montenegro and in 2003 19.0%. The age structure of the population the region Polimlje-Ibar, due to migration and reducing birth rate is changed and takes on unfavorable characteristics - reduces the proportion of younger, while increasing the share of the elderly population. In both cases deranged age structure has feedback influence on the movement of population (size reproductive contingent), but also to all other population structure (size of the working population, the active population, schools compulsory contingent relationship serving a), which are essential for the development of population and economic activity in the region. Despite significant changes in all demographic structure of the region Polimlje-Ibar, has the characteristics of ethnically very heterogeneous environment. The current demographic situation and future demographic processes that have determined the legality of long-term demographic inertia, has become a limiting factor in the overall economic and social development.

Significant lithostratigraphical and micropaleontological signatures, of Milankovitchscale climatic changes are recorded in Miocene deep-sea sediments. As a case study, the Metochia Section, in Gavdos Island, which covers the time interval from 9.7 to 6.6 Ma, is used. This study emphasizes the sedimentological and micropaleontological characteristics of the section, attributed to Milankovitch-scale climatic changes. The short-term variations in climate and faunal composition are related to precession- controlled sedimentary cycles and the long-term trend in climate is related to eccentricity and obliquity cycles. Regional changes in sea surface temperature in combination with variations of solar insolation have caused the cyclical astronomical controlled pattern of Globorotalia species.

This article examines the problem of relationship between demography and economy and presents statistical data that characterize the demographic processes in Russia since 1997. The population is considered as the labor, the number and structure of which largely determines the economic development of the country. Authors explore the reasons for the low birth rate of the population and the outflow of people from sparsely populated areas and show the dynamics of international migration. It is shown that financial support is needed not only for families with children, but also for those young people who are planning the birth of their first child. It is specified that only state investments, correct and consistent policy can change the current demographic situation.

This article highlights the outcome of a long-term field research into the transnational identity of the post-Soviet Orthodox Jewry. It analyzes biographical interviews taken between 2015 and 2018 in St. Petersburg and Minsk to define the religious identity and day-to-day practices of post-Soviet Orthodox Jews. In this article, I argue that the modern post-Soviet Jewry is a new socio-cultural phenomenon with no historical prototypes. As to the research methodology, it was a combination of the transnational approach, random choice case-study targeting post-Soviet Orthodox communities of Orthodox Jewry in large cities, and the biographical method. The backbone of the post-Soviet Orthodox communities of different strains of Judaism was formed in 1990–2008. It is made up of three generations of men and women born in the late 1940s–1960s, mid-1960s–early 1970s, and the 1980s. Each of these generations is characterized by its own unique pattern of observance, the formation of which is directly conditioned by the circumstances of involvement in religious Jewry. The transnational pattern of observance of the Post-Soviet Orthodox Jews involves the model they confronted at the very beginning of their journey, the model they learned in overseas educational institutions or through incoming envoys and rabbis in the country of residence, and the model of balance between the required and possible in the modern post-Christian and post-atheist environment.

One of the oldest populated areas in East Serbia is Budzak. There is an assumption and archeological finds that people had lived in Budzak already during the bronze age (1400-800 years BC). Turbulent historical, cultural and economic factors brought changes to the demographic picture of this area. From the end of the 19th century (1879) till the beginning of the 21st century, the population decreased for more than 3 times, and the number of members per household for 5 times. Faced with harsh conditions of mountain life and lack of perspective, the population intensively emigrated to the lowland areas around the Beli Timok river and to the surrounding towns. For slightly more than half a century (from 1948 to 2002), the population of Budzak deceased for 84,32%, and the number of households for 39,04% with the basic index from -80 to -90, only in Kalna about -60. This decrease also caused the decline in the average number of members in one household from 5,26 in 1948 to 1,35 in 2002. In 6 of 14 settlements, there was not a single birth in the period from 1999 to 2003. Annually, 3-4 children are born, and more than 70 inhabitants dies. Today, the rural population of the Knjazevac Municipality is very old and in the phase of the deepest demographic old age (average age is 47,3 years). In the Budzak area, few settlements have the average population younger than 60 years. Judging by the long-term trend of birthrate decrease and the accelerated ageing of the population from this area, the question has to be asked: in 30-50 years in Stara Planina Mountain in the Budzak area, would there be human life at all, or there would remain historical monuments as the evidence that generations and generations of people had lived there and had their culture and customs.

The government is facing the country’s aging population and low birth rate have led to a severe shortage of its healthcare workforce in Taiwan after 2003. In order to explore the status of the country’s degree of long-term care shortage and uncovered ratio, this research uses the Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) theory to explain long-term care efficiency during 2010–2019 in each city and county. We collect longitudinal-sectional data for 2010–2019 from the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Department of Statistics for 22 administrative regions in Taiwan in each year and employ dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the overall technical efficiency and the disaggregate output insufficiency to explain the research results. The main findings are as follows: (1) Cities near the capital Taipei have the highest degree of shortages in long-term caregivers and high uncovered ratios of people who need long-term care. (2) Presently, there is no demand to increase the number of long-term care institutions in Taiwan. (3) The government should introduce new long-term care certificates through national examinations in order to develop a stronger professional workforce in this field.

Based on a case-study of the governance of health facilities in Niger, the paper examines how emotions can be used as a method to explore meaning-making activities in bureaucratic settings where public servants’ behaviours follow practical norms that deviate from both official norms and social norms. As a supplement to other techniques associated with long-term field research, the use of obtrusive participant-observation is arguably a relevant and fruitful methodological tactic. The author argues that giving space to the ethnographer’s empathy while doing participant-observation enables a deeper understanding of bureaucratic behaviours by bringing emotions back into the analysis of empirical findings and deepening reflexivity. Whereas the paper examines some ethical issues associated with this method in contexts where the ethnographer is confronted with abuse of power in health bureaucracies, the author suggests that emotions as method can be a fruitful approach to bureaucratic ethnography at large.

This article gives a specified place of population of the Republic of Uzbekistan among the CIS countries. A dynamics of the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 1991-2015 was obtained. Also, an analysis of the structure of the population according to number, age and distribution was carried out. The determined factors affecting the age structure of the population was also ascertained. Demographic pressure factor was calculated. A long-term demographic forecast of Uzbekistan was carried out for the period until 2030. The territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the CIS countries were divided into groups according to the level of ageing population. They developed scientifically based proposals and recommendations towards improving the welfare of elderly people on the basis of the current demographic situation in Republic of Uzbekistan.
