The article examines the main trends in the demographic situation in the Chuvash Republic in 2000–2020, discusses the migration processes in Chuvashia in this period of time, their causes and direction, analyzes the results of statistical data from 2000 to 2020, considers the measures taken both at federal and regional levels to change the migration situation. Currently, the republic is observed to experience problems related to the natural decline of the population, as well as relocation of young people and the working-age population to the most attractive regions of the country. There is another negative pattern associated with “aging” of the population: demographic problems have an impact on the economic development of the Chuvash Republic. Since 2000, the working-age population has been gradually declining. A systematic decline in the population of the region is primarily due to migration processes. Every year, more people leave Chuvashia than arrive. This dynamic is primarily due to the growth of unemployment, low living standards of the population and undersized wages. In addition, there are issues related to illegal migration from the Central Asia states and the CIS, and the increase in the number of foreign workers in the republic. To prevent this from happening, strict supervision over implementation of the Russian labor legislation is needed. In order to stabilize the situation, state authorities should actively implement measures aimed at improving the migration situation in the republic, developing the socio-economic attractiveness of the region, and resolving problems that hinder the effective migration control.
