[Regional differentiation of ageing characteristics in Russia].
Regional differences in ageing characteristics in Russia have been studied. A number of ageing characteristics (e.g. the proportion of population aged 60 or over, ageing index, old-age dependency ratio) have been computed for Russia and Federal Districts based on the 2002 census data. A significant regional differentiation of ageing process has been demonstrated. All considered ageing characteristics have minimal values for The Far East Federal District and maximal--for The Central Federal District. Regional heterogeneity should be taken into account when elaborating effective socio-economic policies.
