Profession – Demographer. Results of the VII International Winter Demographic School at Lomonosov Moscow State University

The current complex demographic situation in the Russian Federation requires the use of non-standard modern measures to improve it and adjust the management decisions used. Given the complexity and multifaceted nature of demographic problems, the interdisciplinary nature of demographic research, the requirements for training researchers in the field of demography are increasing. However, training of demographers in our country is currently carried out only in three universities. Therefore, the features of the formation of a modern educational space for training demographers were discussed at the VII International Winter Demographic School, which was organized and held by the Department of Demography of Lomonosov Moscow State University for teachers, researchers and students, postgraduates (hereinafter referred to as the School). The event was attended by leading demographers and sociologists of the country (T.K. Rostovskaya, A.I. Antonov, O.D. Vorobyova, etc.). During the School, listeners were given informative lectures using presentation materials, a discussion of the most pressing problems of organizing higher demographic education in the Russian Federation took place, and a master class on demographic forecasting was held. All participants of the event received certificates of participation. Following the results of the School, the most recent regulatory and legal acts and other materials revealing the features of the development of human resources in the field of demography were posted on the website of the Department of Demography.
