Abstract: Demography is one of the key factors in the preservation and sustainable development of any country in all aspects. Research dedicated to assessing the demographic situation, at both the federal and regional levels, is a crucial tool for monitoring and analyzing ongoing demographic processes. This is particularly important for mitigating negative trends of depopulation.

Aim. The paper aims to analyze and identify the main demographic trends in the natural population movement in the Russian Federation and compare them with general trends in the North Caucasus Federal District.
Research methods. To achieve this goal, statistical and sociological analysis methods have been used.
Results. This article analyzes the current demographic situation in both the Russian Federation and the North Caucasus Federal District. Using official Rosstat statistics for 2010–2025, a comparative analysis of natural population indicators and their trends is provided.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the demographic situation in the Russian Federation is worsening and urgent measures need to be taken to improve the current situation. An analysis of data for the North Caucasus Federal District reveals that the demographic situation shows steady positive trends.

Keywords: demographic processes, Russian Federation, North Caucasus Federal District, Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, population size, birth rate, natural population movement
