Abstract:

Nowadays the business demography is actively developing — the business statistics section associated with the study of life cycles in the enterprise sector: the rise and liquidation, mergers and divisions, separation subsidiaries, the allocation of various forms of oligopolistic behavior, the formation of affiliate groups, etc. This topic is a relatively new destination for the statistics, as it is not sufficiently investigated in domestic and foreign economic literature, thus it is highly relevant. The article studies the demographics factors of Russian organizations and their comparison with similar coefficients of some European countries. As a result, we can conclude that the practice requires an assessment of the factors influencing the demography of organizations, recommendations for changing business climate, based on the obtained data, and international comparisons. This information will open up a number of possibilities for making management decisions.
