ARMENIAN GOVERNMENT APPROVES PLAN OF ACTIONS TO IMPROVE DEMOGRAPHIC SITUATION IN 2013
YEREVAN, December 20. / ARKA /. The Armenian government has approved
today a national plan of actions to improve the demographic situation
in 2013, and a list of measures for its implementation. The purpose
of the program is to prevent negative demographic trends.
According to official numbers, 43,340 babies were born live in Armenia
in 2011, by 1,485 less than in 2010. In January-June 2012 some 19,183
babies were born, by 812 people or 4.1% less from a year before.
One of the factors behind low birth rate is the decreasing number of
marriage. In 2011, the number of marriages, compared to the previous
year, increased by 1,722 to 19,706; and the number of divorces rose by
6.4%, to 3,188. In January-June 2012 the number of marriages decreased
by 147 from the same time span in 2011.
