| dc.description.abstract | One of the most critical developments in post-independent Armenia has been the non-stop emigration of its population. Estimates vary on the number of residents of the country who have left. However, at least one million Armenians have emigrated in the last quarter of a century. In proportion to its small population, this has been assessed as a large percentage that menaces the sustainability of the country. The paper focuses in depth on this topic. It argues that emigration had started long before the country proclaimed independence in 1991. The author notes that already during the pre-independence decades of 1960-1980s an outflow was observed. However this outflow was basically towards the Soviet countries. Besides, it was tiny and did not affect the yearly trend of demographic increase by tens of thousands. The author analyses and qualifies the nature of this outflow and its impact on the demography of Soviet Armenia; this outflow was a seasonal economic migration, and most of the migrants returned to Soviet Armenia with cash that enhanced their living conditions in the country. The second stage of this migratory trend is considered to be the 1988-1991 period, which is characterised by instability and marked by the 1988 earthquake, the self-determination war of Nagorno Karabagh, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the proclamation of independence. The author assesses how these factors impacted the demographic shift in the country. The next stage is considered the massive outflow period (1992-94), when some 980,000 people left the country and some 370,000 came in. The author notes that during the next stage of 1995-2001, some 600,000 emigrated and around 350,000 immigrated. The period between 2002 and 2018 is considered to be the current stage. The author divides this period into sub-stages, details the demographic shifts and extensively analyses the nature of the migration, the profile of the migrants and their destination as well as both the reasons for and the impact of this outflow. He concludes that unless it is properly addressed, the migratory trend of the population of the Republic of Armenia will have a catastrophic impact on the sustainability of the country. | |
