Population migration in the Russian Far East in the 1860s

Demographic studies can be categorized on the basis of demographic variables into studies of fertility, mortality, population migration, population structure, population distribution, population quality, and marriage and family in demography, while migration, along with births and deaths, determines the size of the population and its growth rate in the region, as well as determining the demographic characteristics of the region. The most important demographic problem of the Russian Far East is migration, which consists in the movement of people from the countryside to the towns, from one region of the country to another, from one’s own country to another. The past era could well be called the ‘age of migration’. Migration is often the result of economic and social development, which can contribute to the improvement of economic and social conditions or, on the contrary, lead to economic stagnation and social imbalances.
