It is interesting that for six months the electorate of Yerevan has increased by 4,7 thousand people. But in this city at the end of 2008 only 1 million 108.7 thousand people were registered.

In Vayots Dzor region, the country has the least population - about 55.8 thousand. How many people in Armenia do the National Statistical Service of the country know? Its data indicate that the increase in the inhabitants of the republic in the first half of 2009 was provided mainly due to a 2.35% natural increase in the electorate. And this factor was not affected by a 1.2% increase in the migration flow.

What does the analysis of statistical data show? In Armenia, by July 1, 2009, 19 672 babies were first seen. This is 6.9% higher than in the first half of 2008, when 18 409 children were born in the country.

In the reporting period of 2009, a negative migration balance was also determined. By July 1, 559.2 thousand persons had returned to the country, and more than 589,100 people had left it.

Monetary aid to the Armenian population

And how much money is allocated here? The population of Armenia enjoys special attention. Assistance is provided to both ordinary and large families.

That's about one thousand and 160 dollars. Earlier, only four hundred thousand drams were paid - about one thousand dollars. The amount of childcare allowance before reaching the age of two has reached eighteen thousand drams a month. Previously, this benefit was three thousand drams.

In general, the population of the state is affected by emigration. Armenians move to Russia in large numbers.

Residents of Armenia in 2014

The population of Armenia in 2014 has a different statistics. By the first of July, in comparison with the beginning of the year, the population decreased by 7.3 thousand. This is the message of the Armenian National Statistical Service.

By July 1, 2014, the number of permanent residents in the country according to the current account in accordance with the census of residents in 2011 was 3 009.8 thousand people. Of these, 1,911.9 thousand live in megacities, and 1,097.9 thousand live in villages and villages.

The data of the National Statistical Service say that the population of Armenia (2014) is a smaller number in comparison with the previous data. The reduction in the number of residents is due to the excess of the negative balance of migration over the natural increase in the electorate.

External passenger turnover

The information system of the border Armenian e-government provided data on the gross volume of external turnover of passengers through the country's checkpoints. In the first half of 2014, this ratio reached 2 242.3 thousand trips versus 1,938.9 thousand trips for the same cycle in 2013.

And for the reporting period (without identification), the number of entries to the republic reached 1,078,202 (an increase of 16.9% in the same period of 2013), the number of trips is 1,164,071 (an increase of 14.5%).

Urban population

This magnificent country is Armenia! Population (the number of 2014) it is completely different from the previous period of time. But we will study the statistics of the urban population. 45 of 48 cities are small and medium-sized cities, in which 35.6% of urban residents live. The most populated cities are Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor. One million 633 thousand people or 64.3% of Armenian urban dwellers are concentrated in them.

The largest group is a group of small towns, in which live up to fifty thousand inhabitants. There are 42 in all. The group occupies the second place in terms of the number of inhabitants. It includes 716 thousand persons. It takes into account 16 cities, which live from 10 to 50 thousand people, and 13 cities with up to 10 thousand people. Almost half of urban residents of Armenia are concentrated in Yerevan (49.2%). This fact is considered disastrous if we take into account the town-planning and strategic points of view. The rest of the population was distributed as follows:

• The city of Yerevan - 49.2%;
• Large megacities from 100-250 thousand individuals - 15.1%;
• Cities of medium size from 50-100 thousand individuals - 7.5%;
• Megacities of small size to 50 thousand individuals - 28.2%.

Villager

The villages with inhabitants from 1001 to 3000 people (35.1%) constitute the largest percentage of Armenian rural communities. The smallest percentage are villages, in which up to 100 people live - 4.1% (not counting 10 uninhabited communities). From the total number of rural electorate of the country the number of residents in them is 46.1% and 0.2%.

Country by name Armenia! Population, the number of 2014 are interesting for their novelty. There are 96 large villages here. They are home to 3000 people. Gegharkunik region is on the first place by the size of settlements. Here in 20 of 87 villages there are more than 3000 inhabitants. And this is 65% of the rural residents of the region.

Analyzing the population data in the bordering, mountainous areas, it is possible to reveal the low population in the regions of Vayots Dzor and Syunik. This fact is explained by the unfavorable socio-economic state of the region, as a result of which there is an intensive migration of the population.

External migration

The newest period of Armenia became famous for interstate migration. This is the most significant phenomenon in terms of volumes and consequences. Until the early 1980s, Armenia could boast of a positive balance of interstate migration. At that time, the country's population increased not only due to natural growth, but also due to migration flows. Since the eighties the number of the emigrating population has increased. As a result, there was a violation of the established relationships of migratory flows. Now, due to emigration, Armenia loses about 10,000 people every year, which has a negative impact on the demographic situation.

Internal migration

Migration within the Republic of Armenia is characterized by the displacement of inhabitants from villages to cities. As a result of this process, a high level of urbanization of the state is observed. In the early sixties, about half of the inhabitants lived in Armenian cities. By the end of the century the rural population was 31%, and urban residents - 69%.

Residents moved both from high-mountainous settlements to low places, and from remote sparsely populated - to large cities of the republic.
