To assess the dynamics of demographic indicators statistical data along with sociological surveys were used. It has been established that the adverse impact of natural and climatic factors, the crisis of family and marriage relations, a decrease in the birth rate, an increase in mortality and migration leads to a population losses. Therefore the scale of touched on problems as well as their synergetic effect justifies the need to take well-timed managerial decisions to minimize the impact of risks on demographic processes.
