Population

 

Present population consists of those who are at a given location at the time of the census, including persons living temporally at the location (provided their absence at permanent place of residence is no more than 12 months). Resident population consists of those who permanently live at a given location at the time of the census, including those who are temporarily absent, if their absence at permanent place of residence does not exceed 12 months.

Urban and rural population. The urban population includes persons who reside in urban type settlements. The rural population are those who reside in rural areas. Urban type settlements are the centers of the population which are approved by legislation as towns and the urban type settlements. The rest of the population centers are rural.

The number of pensioners is the total number of pensioners in Ukraine irrespective of type of the pension.

Data on births and deaths are based on birth and death certificates, which are completed by the civil status registration bodies. According to the normative documents of Ministry of Health of Ukraine up to the January 1, 2007 births were registered live or dead born with the body weight of 1000 g and more (or body weight at birth is unknown, length of a newborn body is 35 cm and more, or on the 28 week of pregnancy and more), including born with the weight less than 1000 g in the case of multiple birth but on the 28 week of pregnancy and more. All the newborn with the body weight from 500 to 999 g, were also registered if they lived more than 168 hours (7 days) after birth. From  January 1,  2007 births are to be registered live or dead born with the body weight of 500 g and more (or the body weight at birth is unknown, length of a newborn  body is 25 cm and more, or on the 22 week of

pregnancy and more); live and dead born with body weight of less than 500 g in the case of multiple birth if the duration of pregnancy is 22 weeks and more; live born under 22 weeks of pregnancy duration  (that  is with the body

length  less  than  25 cm and body weight  less than 500 g) and lived more than 7 days (168 hours after birth) are registered as liveborn premature births.

Natural increase (decrease) of the population is the difference between the number of live births and deaths.

Crude birth and death rates represent the ratio of the number of the (live) births and deaths, respectively, for a calendar year to the average annual number of the present population. Produced per 1000 present persons.

Age specific fertility rates are produced as a ratio of the number of children (live births) born to females of this age group to average annual number of females at this age.  When defining the indicators for the age group under 20 years old, the number of females aged 15−19 years old is conventionally taken. The compilation of indicator for age group of 15−49 years old is made including children born to females at the age of more than 49 years old and under 15.

Total fertility rate shows how many children would have been born to females during the reproductive age (15−49 years old) if the birth rates for those years for which the age coefficients are produced had been preserved at each age. Total fertility rate is produced as a sum of age coefficients of births for age groups at interval 15−49 years old.

Number of illegitimate births includes the births that are registered by joint  declaration  made  by father and mother who are not married, or only through a mother’s declaration or court’s  decision that puts it in the birth record. If a child is born after the death of a person who was married to its mother, the dead could be recorded as father of a child provided that no more than 10 months have passed between the day of his death and the birth of a child.

Age specific death rates  are compiled as a ratio of the number of deaths of specific age group to average annual number of the population at this age group.

Death rates by cause of death are calculated by dividing the number of the dead from the stated causes of death by average annual number of the present population.

Death rate for infants under 1 year old is the ratio of the number of the dead under 1 year old to the number of live births.

Death rates by causes of death for infants under 1 year old are calculated by dividing the number of infants under 1 year old dead from the stated death causes by the number of live births.

 

Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years that a new generation of births would live provided that during the whole life of this generation (when passing from one age to another) the death rate was equal the current death rate for the population in selected age groups.

Crude marriage and divorce rates are a ratio of the number of marriages and divorces registered during a year to the average annual number of present population.

Migration increase (decrease) is the difference between the number of those who arrived to a given location and those who left it.

Intraregional migration is the migration of the population within one region (Autonomous Republic of Crimea, region, cities of Kyiv and Sevastopol).

Interregional migration is the migration of the population from one region to the others within Ukraine.

International migration is the immigration of the population outside Ukraine or emigration to Ukraine from other countries.

From April 2016 to September 2017 information on population migration was compiled according to available administrative data received from separate registration bodies (executive bodies of rural, village or city council, rural heads (if the executive body of rural council was not set up in line with the legislation)).

All flows of migration include intraregional, interregional and inter-state.

Inter-state migration - the departure of the population from Ukraine or arrival in Ukraine from other countries.
