INTRODUCTION

The course “Labour Economics” is included in the basic part of the 

curriculum and is intended for 2nd year students.

The purpose of the course is the formation of a complex of basic 

knowledge and skills in the field of economics of social and labour relations.

The main objectives of the course are:
— understanding modern theoretical ideas about labour, its role, 

factors and conditions that ensure the effective formation and use of 
labour potential;

— studying the fundamentals of methodology for identifying and 

solving the most important labour problems at the micro and macro 
levels;

— acquiring basic skills in practical work in the field of analysis of 

the main processes and indicators of the formation and use of labour 
potential.

The workbook consists of 7 topics and includes a brief theoretical 

overview of the main terms and indicators, a list of revision questions, 
numeracy and analytical exercises, topics for discussions and presentations, recommended video.

The workbook is aimed at developing competencies in the course 

“Labour Economics” among students studying Bachelor’s degree programmes (taught in English) in Economics.

Topic 1.

DEMOGRAPHY AND MIGRATION

Key concepts

In case of determination of intensity and results of natural and mi
gratory movement of the population following indexes are calculated: 
birth rate, death (mortality) rate, natural increase, natural increase rate, 
fertility rate.

Mentioned indexes are calculated with the following formulas:

 
 
1000
Births
Crudebirthrate
P
=
×
, 
(1) 

where Births is the number of births of the respective area in a given 
year; P — the average population of the respective area in a given year 
(half of the number of population at the beginning and end of the year);

 
 
 
 
Crudebirthrate
Total fertilityrate
d
=
× , 
(2)

where  
d  — share of women in fertile age (15–49 years) in the total 

population;

Dependency ratios are a measure of the age structure of a popula
tion. They relate the number of individuals that are likely to be economically “dependent” on the support of others. Changes in the dependency ratio provide an indication of potential social support requirements resulting from changes in population age structures.

Revision questions

1. What are the main indicators using which you can assess the de
mographic and migration situation in the world?

2. What are the trends that characterize the demographic situation 

in the Russian Federation?

3. Explain the difference between birth rate and fertility rate.
4. What are the reasons for decrease of fertility rate?
5. What is the country with the highest life expectancy in the world?
6. What are the reasons for decline of population growth rate?
7. What are 3 countries where the population aged 65+ makes up 

more than 20% of the total population?

8. Tell us about the essence and method of calculation of indicators: 

total dependency ratio, youth dependency ratio, elderly dependency 
ratio.

9. Tell us about methods of state support for Russian families with 

children including the state program “Maternity (family) capital”.

10. What are the trends of modern labour migration in the world?
11. Why in some ways gross migration is more useful statistic than 

net migration?

Numeracy exercises

Exercise 1
The population of the region on 01.01.2019 was equal to 400 thou
sand people and on 01.01.2020–440 thousand people. During the year 
6300 persons were born in the region and 4200 persons died. For the 
same year 44800 people entered the region for permanent residence and 
6900 people left the region. Calculate the coefficients characterizing the 
intensity and results of the natural and mechanical movement of the 
population of the region.

Exercise 2
Population of the region on 01.01.2019 was equal to 500 thousand 

people, but on 01.01.2020–480 thousand people. Calculate the natural 
increase rate, if it is known that the immigration rate in the region was 
equal to 7‰, and emigration rate was 10‰.

Exercise 3
The population of the region on December 31, 2019 was 800 thou
sand people. The number of deaths in the region during 2019 reached 
9360 people, which corresponds to mortality rate of 12‰. Calculate the 
number of population in the region on 01.01.2019.

Exercise 4
The population of the region in 2018 was equal to 6.5 million people, 

of which 2 million lived in rural areas and the rest — in cities. The 
birth rate in urban areas was 12‰ and in rural areas — 15‰. In 2019 
the urban population of the region increased by 9%. The birth rate in 
rural areas decreased by 2% and in urban areas — by 8%. Calculate the 
change in the birth rate in the region in 2019 compared to 2018?

Exercise 5
Calculate the share of migration in the gross population growth in 

the region for the year, if known:

— the population in the beginning of the year was equal to 500 

thousand people;

— the average annual population — 530 thousand people;
— the birth rate was 12‰;
— the mortality rate was 9‰.

Exercise 6
There is the following data on the age composition of the female 

population of the region in 2018:

Using fertility rate (special birth rate) determine the birth rate in 

the region in 2018, if it is known that in this year 2.5 million people 
were born.

Exercise 7
Average annual population of Kazan is 1,2 million people. During 

the year there have left the city 120 thousand pers. Net migration was 
80 thousand persons. Calculate gross migration rate, immigration rate, 
emigration rate.

Exercise 8
In the Russian Federation in 2015 average annual population was 

equal to 147 million people; immigrants — 900 thousand people; emigrants — 400 thousand people. Please, calculate net migration rate, 
gross migration rate; migration efficiency ratio.

Analytical exercises

tion;

2) dynamics of the main demographic indicators;
3) dynamics of the age structure of the population;
4) dynamics of total dependency ratio, youth dependency ratio, el
derly dependency ratio.

2. Using data from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European 

Union, for the last 10 years, analyze:

1) dynamics of the number of the population of the European Union;
2) dynamics of the main demographic indicators;
3) dynamics of the age structure of the population;
4) dynamics of total demographic dependency ratio, youth demo
graphic dependency ratio, senior demographic dependency ratio.
