YEREVAN. - Armenia's current population is 2.8-2.9 million, demographer
Gagik Yeganyan stated during a press conference on Monday.
He also added that the absolute birthrate in Armenia is reducing,
and that this will continue and increase, since the small-numbered
generation, which was born in the 1990s, is now entering the
parenthood. In his words, the births in Armenia will soon start being
less than deaths.
"Our population is reducing. There will come a time when the population
will start to reduce not only as a result of negative migration, but
also as a result of negative reproduction," Gagik Yeganyan noted. In
his words, there is primarily a work migration in Armenia.
In his turn, the other speaker, ethnographer Aghasi Tadevosyan said:
"Had Armenia's authorities put before themselves the task of developing
the country and had a strategic development program, they would have
understood that they need different types of human resources, which
would have been the guarantees for development.
Emigration in Armenia is the natural response which is created as a
consequence of the policy being conducted in the country today."
