ABSTRACT

Reducing territorial inequality in mortality indicators is a priority task of Russia's demographic policy. Despite the relevance of the problem, intraregional differences in structure of mortality remain insufficiently studied. The purpose of this study is to identify the intraregional characteristics of mortality in different types of cities and villages in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The empirical basis of the research consists of Rosstat data for 2011–2023. The methodological toolkit includes the calculation of age-standardized mortality rates (to eliminate the effect of age structure), construction of life tables, and the application of decomposition methods to quantitatively assess the contribution of individual age groups and causes of death to territorial differences. The analysis was conducted across five periods, including the pandemic (2020–2021) and recovery (2022–2023) stages. The analysis showed that during 2011–2019, all types of settlements experienced steady growth in life expectancy. However, the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) led to a significant decline in LE, driven by increased mortality in both elderly and younger age groups. In the recovery period (2022–2023), growth in life expectancy resumed due to reduced mortality among the elderly population, as well as declines in mortality from the circulatory system and respiratory organs. It was established that the highest LE indicators are characteristic of large urbanized centers (Ufa, Neftekamsk, Oktyabrsky, Salavat), whereas the lowest LE indicators are characteristic of small and medium-sized cities (so-called “other cities”) and rural territories. The results obtained confirm the necessity of a differentiated approach to demographic policy taking into account settlement type.
