INDICATORS OF NATURAL POPULATION MOVEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF KARAKALPAKSTAN

Abstract

The article systematizes methodological approaches to the statistical study of natural population change in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. It examines indicators of fertility, mortality, natural population growth, population reproduction, marriage rates, and divorce rates in relation to the age-sex, family, and social structure of the population. The study highlights the methodological features of calculating crude, specific, age-specific, and standardized demographic rates. Particular attention is paid to the importance of accounting for population structure to ensure accurate territorial comparisons. The research is methodological and analytical in nature; quantitative assessments of individual districts are not presented due to the absence of relevant statistical time series in the original material.
