Dear Reader,

The ASIAN STUDIES WWW MONITOR
(including all its subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Friday 21st January 2011.

All of the online resources reported here have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.

Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed in the MONITOR. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.

- with warm regards -

Russia's Peacetime Demographic Crisis: Dimensions, Causes, Implications

http://www.nbr.org/Publications/issue.aspx?id=202

19 May 2010

The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR), Seattle, WA, US

Self-description:
"NBR Project Report, May 2010, Russia's Peacetime Demographic Crisis: Dimensions, Causes, Implications - Nicholas Eberstadt.
Modern Russia is in the throes of a prolonged depopulation that [...is] "nothing short of a humanitarian catastrophe."
Eberstadt paints a grim picture for the future of Russia's collective human resources. He shows that despite the government's predictions, Russia's population will continue to decline in the years ahead. [...]
The demographic malaise has significant consequences, most notable of which is the dreadful downturn for quality of life in Russia. The crisis also bodes poorly for Russia's economic, military, and diplomatic goals, which are on a collision course with the country's impending demographic realities.
This report represents the culmination of a three-year research project on Russia's political economy, as examined through the unique prism of that country's demographic profile. The report starts by examining the "arithmetic of Russian depopulation" through the country's trends in births, deaths, and migration, revealing the drivers behind the massive and unprecedented depopulation. The report then looks beyond the numbers, examining less-explored aspects of Russia's population profile such as population aging, education and labor productivity, and social capital, which are key to a society's prosperity.
This report sheds new light on the challenges presented by Russia's depopulation, with critical implications for U.S. policy and international politics."

["NBR reports are an occasional paper series on special topics conducted by the world's leading experts in Asian affairs. Available in PDF format only. Free access for the first 60 days after publication PDF pricing after 60 days: $8.95 per issue."]
