The analysis of the dynamics of the rural population of the Republic of Bashkortostan is carried out.

The main reasons for the significant decrease in the number of rural population in the republic were migration outflow, natural population decline, unfavorable gender and age structure of the population, socio-economic crisis, low quality of life, etc. There is a decrease in the population of villages and villages.
