Birth rate in Armenia

Re: Birth rate in armenia

I know exactly what "extremely poor country means" my mom used to work ...
France has much higher birth rate then Armenia, France has the highest birth rate in the EU I believe.
Armenia does have very very poor infrastructure. I hear from Armenians in Canada how they complain about the lack of infrastructure and lack of opportunities in Armenia.
Armenia needs its young population to help it develop but that is not the case.

FYI: France’s high birth rate is attributed to the 10% of its Muslim population, and they are trying to do something with it. Because as statistics show during this century, with this trend, France will become a country with predominantly Muslim population. By the way John I wonder whether you are Muslim or Christian?

Please explain me from your rich scientific point of view. Why the developed/rich countries suffer much worse demographic crisis, among their wealthy indigenous population, than the “poor” Armenia does?

Re: Birth rate in armenia

the sad truth is no countries birth rates are ever where they should be at, the wealthier nations that have families that could afford 3-5 kids, in general only have 1-2.5 kids per couple, the poorer nations who can barely afford 1 kid have 4-10 kids.

Birth rates don't need to rise to much in Armenia until everything is developed to it's potential, otherwise these kids will just grow up to migrate to another country

Ara, the poorer nations that have 4-10 children is due to the fact that they are usually uneducated. The more educated and the middle class usually tend to have less children.

I agree 100% look at the Kurds for an example, I mean
most of the Kurdish families have 5-10 children, but
look at their educational, economic, and infastructrial
situations they're poor in all three categories.

I heard in one clip on You Tube that Kurds have so many children so that the Turks can't exterminate them all (obvious reference to Armenian Genocide and so forth).

@gegev you asked a very silly question just think about what you write before writing it. Of course I am not Muslim don't be so callow. I am Catholic.

I can ask the same question about you in fact, are you muslim?

In terms of France's birth rate whether they are muslim or not is irrelevant to a countries population growth. If the birth rate grows at a stable rate there should be no problem.

Armenia in “demographic pit”
23.10.2009 20:00 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Armenia is suffering demographic crisis. Compared with 2002 results, Armenia has registered a birth-rate growth. But 2002 was a crisis year, so actually the growth is not significant. According to 1986 results, 81 200 babies were born in Armenia, in 2002 their number fell to 32 000. Decreased marriage rate also brought to a slump in natality,” demographer Ruben Yesayan said at October 23 news conference. According to him, population size reduction will be obvious in about 30 years, with mortality rate increasing.

Expressing his agreement with Ruben Yesayan, Demography Department Head at RA Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs Vanik Babajanyan character the situation as a “demographic pit”.

According to him, demographic issues in Armenia are on RA government’s priority agenda.

Under existing RA laws, the state provides one-time childbirth allowances in the amount of AMD 50 thousand, in addition to monthly payments in the amount of AMD 12 thousand, issued till the child reaches the age of 2. The third child is granted one-time allowance of AMD 430 thousand.

ARMENIAN POPULATION ENDANGERED

The present demographic situation in Armenia arouses serious
concern. If the current population growth rates continue, the Armenian
population will reduce twice in 40-45 years, Gayane Avagyan, Senior
Specialist, Maternity and Child Care Department, RA Ministry of Health,
told a press conference.

As regards population growth, Armenia ranks 205th among 229 countries,
she said. "For the present population size to be preserved each family
has to have at least two children, while three and more children have
to be born for the population to increase," Avagyan said. She pointed
out that Armenian women most often have children at the age of 25-32,
and men at the age of 25-35. However, social reasons cause the age
limits to rise.

Speaking of the problem of sterility, she pointed out a considerable
reduction in sterility rate in Armenia recently. Specifically,
the primary sterility rate is 5.3% for women and 2.7% for men. The
second sterility rate is 11% and 2.6% respectively. Among the
causes are infections, endocrine diseases and impotence. Only 8% of
the cases are considered incurable. Avagyan said that treatment of
sterility and artificial insemination are expensive. She hopes that
the Government will be able to subsidize the treatment of socially
vulnerable families.

The experts pointed out that the Government has budgeted funds for
women during childbirth and post-childbirth period. "Women receive
50,000 AMD after having the first child and 450,000 after having the
third. Also, the monthly child benefit is 18,000 AMD," Avagyan said.

She pointed out that the Government's measures are aimed to increase
birthrate. Avagyan also reported that cesarean births constitute
13-14 per cent in Armenia.

As regards cancer, particularly cervical carcinoma, she said that
necessary analyses are made free of charge. Also, vaccination is
available for women. "We intend to purchase vaccines and carry out
compulsory vaccination of teenagers aged 15-16," Avagyan said.
