Description
Transition and new demographic dynamics : the example of the Republic of Karelia
Since the collapse of Communism, the Republic of Karelia has been undergoing a demographic crisis, parallel to that in Russia, which is characterised by harsh modification of transverse indicators of demographic dynamics such as fertility, mortality, and marriage rates. These found expression in growth of the internal disparities at the «rayons» level and also in modification of the fertility and mortality factors. Even though before the transition, in the aggregate, the differences had tallied with opposition between town and country, it is actually more complex and it is possible to catch a glimpse of the new explanatory variables, such as the ethnic dimension, as well as geographic dimensions such as the proximity of the Finnish border or the remoteness of Petrozavodsk, the capital.

La République de Carélie subit, depuis la chute du communisme, une crise démographique parallèle à celle de la Russie, caractérisée par une brusque modification des indicateurs transversaux de la dynamique démographique (fécondité, mortalité, nuptialité...). Elle se traduit par un accroissement des disparités internes à l'échelle des «rayons» mais aussi par une modification des facteurs de la fécondité comme de la mortalité. Alors qu'avant la transition les différences correspondaient globalement à une opposition ville-campagne, elles sont plus complexes actuellement et on peut entrevoir de nouvelles variables explicatives comme la dimension ethnique ou la dimension spatiale (proximité de la frontière finlandaise, éloignement de la capitale Petrozavodsk...).
