Social and demographic situation in the Republic of Buryatia
During the 1971-2001 period great demographic changes occurred in the Republic of Buryatia when it passed from the extended to simple type of population reproduction. The paper analyses the reasons underlying these natural and mechanical shifts, family and ethnical composition of the population. A sociological survey of the residents of seven districts of the republic and of the city of Ulan-Ude showed a deep evolution of the demographic behavioural patterns and a transformation of the social structure.
