Simulation of demographic processes using the agent-based approach

Abstract
This paper describes the design of the agent-based model of Russia, simulating the basic demographic processes - mortality, fertility and migration. The paper proves that the change of residence as well as the birth of children are the result of the choice of independent agents, caused by external economic conditions and internal settings which are different for urban and rural residents. The structure of the Russia's population as a whole and its regions is formed by the aggregation of the actions of individual agents.
