Typology Of Constituent Entities Of Russia On Mortality Of Working Age Population

The article presents results of the statistical classification of constituent entities of Russia concerning causes of death of working age population using descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. In Russia, positive results have been achieved in the reduction of mortality rate among children and elderly population. The maintenance of a high mortality rate among working-age population is reasoned by the influence of factors covering the overall quality of life of population. The most significant factors of mortality are crime rate, the average age of population, population density, unemployment rate, the incidence of active tuberculosis, the incidence of HIV infection, the number of detected offenses related to illegal production and trafficking of alcohol products. The territorial differentiation in the level and structure of mortality of working age population in Russia reasoned by the heterogeneity of mortality factors is shown. The analysis of factors of mortality, the structure of mortality due to causes of death made it possible to substantiate the need to apply methods of multidimensional classification. As a result of the implementation of a two-step cluster analysis with weight coefficients added to classification variables, presented by mortality rates of working age population in constituent entities of Russia, the following has been identified: low and high mortality rates of working age population by all causes of death, low, medium and high mortality due to infectious and parasitic diseases. The results of the research can be used in development of measures of socio-demographic policy of regions. © 2019 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.UK
