Dagestan and Chechnya are the leading regions in terms of birth rates in the North Caucasus
From January to September 2024, 94,588 children were born in the North Caucasus Federal District. Among the regions of the district, the largest number of babies were born in Dagestan (31,874), Chechnya (23,222) and Stavropol Krai (17,457). These are the data from Rosstat.
It should be noted that the population of Dagestan is officially 3,232,224 people, and the Chechen Republic is 1,552,866 people. Thus, although Chechnya ranks second in terms of the number of newborns, in terms of the ratio of birth rate to the total population, the republic is the leader in the district.
The lowest birth rate in the North Caucasus Federal District is recorded in Karachay-Cherkessia - only 3,222 children.
For comparison: in the Central Federal District (CFD) 235,529 children were born during the same period. At the same time, in Moscow and the Moscow Region – the most densely populated regions – 90,858 and 53,639 newborns were registered, respectively.
