title: Selected urban population characteristics of Moscow.
abstract: "This paper investigates total and regional population characteristics in Moscow [Russia] during 1979-1989, specifically nationality, age, sex and education and their interrelationships.  Population dynamics of Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, and, to a lesser extent, other groups are examined based on a regionalization scheme dividing the city into Inner Zone and Outer Zone [regions].  The same spatial framework is employed in an analysis of changes in the age and sex structures of the city's overall population, as well as in levels of education.  Linkages between these characteristics and rates of housing construction, recent demographic history, and city migration policy are explored."
