Abstract

Demographic security is a multifaceted phenomenon. In the study of demographic threats, dozens of indexes are investigated. It is difficult to conduct a comparative analysis of demographic threats in different countries across all indexes. To perform this kind of analysis, it is advisable to use integrated indexes. The construction and application of the integrated indexes in the assessment of various phenomena and processes makes it possible to take into account the main features of the object of research and to make comparisons. The paper presents an overview of approaches for constructing the integrated indexes. A system of statistical indexes for constructing an integrated index of the country's demographic security is proposed. The experimental calculation of the integrated indexes of the demographic security was carried out. Calculations were carried out for 45 countries: Russia, the USA, Japan, India, China and European countries. The basic data for the calculations were taken from open sources of statistical services of these countries. The analysis showed that Russia is the part of a group of countries with a high level of demographic threats.
