Purpose: retrospective analysis of demographic indicators of mortality, natural growth, fertility dynamics formation in the gender aspect to find out the established trends, development and implementation of measures to prevent the loss of the male population.
Materials and Methods. To implement the goal, the official reporting data, directories of the Center for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in terms of different gender and age groups and the main administrative territories, regions of Ukraine and Kyiv were used. Methods of research: system approach, bibliosemantic, medical and statistical, graphic analysis.
Results. It is proved that during independence Ukraine lost a significant part of the population. Stable trends of depopulation are combined with the aging of the Ukraine population, which is classified as the 30 oldest countries of the world. From year to year, the share of people over 65 years old with a relatively small specific weight of the child population in its overall structure continues to grow. The growth of negative natural growth due to the increase in mortality, especially among men and residents of rural areas, is shaping the threatening tendencies of the loss of male reproductive potential and the continuation of the country’s depopulation in the near future. Gender peculiarities of mortality coefficients were manifested by the prevalence of indicators among men in almost all age groups. Besides in young working age, this difference was more than 3 times, leading to the preservation of a unique difference in the European region in the average life expectancy at the birth of men (66.39 years) and women (76.22 years) about 10 years.
Conclusions. The tendencies of aging population with increasing prevalence of men mortality in the near future illustrate the threat to socio-economic growth, defense capability of Ukraine, strengthening its reproductive potential to restore the demographic losses of previous years. Priority program measures should primarily concern the prevention of an increase in men mortality of reproductive age.
