2022-08-20 14:05:26 Mortality in Russia in 2021

According to the latest United Nations data, Russia in 2021 ranked sixth in the world both in the total number of deaths (2.459 million people) and the mortality rate (17 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants). By the way, it is interesting that the leaders are not African countries, and the European countries (probably due to the high mortality rate of elderly against the background of covid): the first 5 places were taken by Bulgaria, Monaco, Latvia, Serbia and Lithuania. And we are 6, and Ukraine is 7

What is really frightening is mortality of men of working age. Of the men who survive to 15 years do not reach 50 182 out of a thousand, and up to 60 - 340 out of a thousand, that's 28 and 22 places respectively (out of more than two hundred). The places don't seem to be as bad as in the previous case, but here we are ahead of even most African countries. We shared our place with Burkina Faso in the male mortality rate from 15 to 50, and from 15 to 60 with Cameroon and Guyana. We were Open / Comment

2022-08-20 10:05:28 European energy production from different types of power plants in 2022

Another small but important factor contributing to the current European gas crisis is the abnormal heat wave.

On the one hand, because of the abnormal heat wave, there is a drought, lower water levels in rivers and a drop in hydropower generation (in January-July 2022 - 20% compared to the same period in 2021). On the other hand, due to the increased temperature of rivers it became more difficult to cool the reactors of nuclear power plants, so the output of nuclear power plants had to be reduced (by 12% compared to last year).

Result: growth of production at gas-fired power plants (namely gas is the second largest source of energy in the EU now), by 4% compared to last year, despite all the problems with prices and supplies. By the way, the output of coal-fired power plants also grew quite nicely, by 11% at once. Open / Comment

Three years ago the most popular answer to this question was one single subscription (the survey was conducted only among those who have these subscriptions in principle, so there is no 0 here), 35% of respondents had one subscription, another 33% had two

Now more often people have two (24%) or three (23%) such subscriptions. The one and four subscriptions each received an equal number of votes (18%)! There were no people with six or more subscriptions in 2019, but now there are 7% Open / Comment

2022-06-24 10:05:07 How the consumer plans of Russians are changing

According to survey, the consumer sentiment of Russians in May has slightly improved compared to April: the share of Russians who are going to make all planned purchases as planned has increased by about one and a half to two times in a month. In the lowest-income group, however, there are only 7% of them (versus 5% in April), but in the highest-income group there are 26% versus 19% in April.

Simultaneously, the share of Russians that are going to put off purchases has decreased significantly: it now ranges from 36% in the high-income group to 42% in the low-income group (vs. 51-57% a month earlier). Open / Comment

2022-06-23 19:05:07 In which countries same-sex couples are allowed to adopt children

Mostly in the countries of the generalized West, but also, unexpectedly, in many countries in Latin America and South Africa. Interestingly, the boundary of the "West" here runs not along the borders of Europe, but along the borders of Western Europe: in the countries of Eastern and mostly Southern (the Balkans and Italy) Europe, same-sex couples are forbidden to take in foster children.

One of the interesting border cases is Switzerland: there it is allowed to become a foster parent for one family member if the other family member is the biological parent of the child Open / Comment

2022-06-23 18:05:15 Changing Democracy Index in the World from 2006 to 2021

The Economist Intelligence Unit's calculated democracy index has been declining quite rapidly around the world in recent years, but the decline has been particularly marked during the covid period: the global average democracy index in 2021 is 5.28 points compared to 5.44 in 2019. Compared to 2006, the decline is even more pronounced

Among all countries, Russia turned out to be one of the leaders in terms of the rate of decline of the index over the past 15 years: from 5.02 (the hybrid regime) to the current 3.24 (the authoritarian regime), a decline of about 1.5 times. Together with us our geopolitical "allies" Iran, Venezuela, Syria and some other countries, mainly in Southeast Asia and Africa, are among the leaders in the decline of democratization

By the way, most of Western countries also showed a fall of democracy index, though not so noticeable, and most of Asian countries - quite noticeable. One of the few regions of the world where democra Open / Comment
