Preface.
In recent years, the number of human beings in the world has increased, exceeding 8 billion, which poses new challenges to all countries of the world.
However, on this planet, there is a land area of up to 3.1 million square kilometers, but the total population is less than a million, with an average of 3 square kilometers, and 1 person lives.
What does that mean? Why don't they want children? What's going on?
Yakutia: abundant in resources, sparsely populated.
With an area of 3.1 million square kilometers and a population of only 770,000, the Yakutia Federation is the largest administrative region in Russia.
Yakutia is located in the northeast of Russia, near the Arctic Ocean, but their appearance is very different from that of Russians, who are mostly Asian.
In fact, Yakutia is the region with the largest number of Asians outside of China.
Although there are not many people in Yakutia, its abundant resources are also quite abundant.
First of all, Yakutia is rich in mineral resources, and to date, more than 1,500 minerals have been discovered in the Yakutia region, mainly **, tin ore and coal.
In addition, oil and gas reserves are large, accounting for almost 1 3 of Russia's gas reserves.
Secondly, Yakutia is also the largest diamond producing region in Russia, with more than 90% of Russia's diamond reserves.
In these two respects, Yakutia is not lagging behind, according to statistics, its GDP reaches 16,000 US dollars, which is much higher than the Russian average.
How rich is Yakutia exactly?
According to British news reports, Yakutia is home to the world's largest mammoth fossils, with 90% of the world's mammoth teeth produced here.
So there is a group of people who work for more than two months a year, mainly responsible for excavating mammoth tusks, and a 65 kg mammoth ivory can be sold for 40,000 US dollars.
If you can get three a week, that's $100,000.
It was hard work, but it brought a good income to the local population, and from this point of view, the kingdom of Yakutia still had plenty of supplies.
In general, a place of barren land with abundant resources will inevitably explode with a large population in a short period of time, but the number of inhabitants of Yakutia has always been very small, not even a million.
In contrast, India, although not as large as Yakutia, has a population of more than 1.4 billion, and Yakutia is more distinctive in comparison.
Now the population of Yakutia is getting smaller and smaller, there are understaffed everywhere, and the number of wolves is growing, and in order to maintain the safety of livestock, the state has to give them huge rewards.
So, the Yakuts sit on a huge territory, but they don't want children? There are three reasons for this.
Harsh weather and harsh conditions.
First of all, due to the geography of the Yakutia region, the number of inhabitants of the region is somewhat restricted.
The Yakutia region is divided into four geological zones: primeval forest area, permafrost area, forest permafrost area, and Arctic desert area.
As the name suggests, the location is very dangerous, and 80% of the Yakutia region is made up of virgin jungle.
To the east of Yakutia, there are more than 400 huge glaciers, which are even more than 300 meters deep, making them the thickest permafrost in the world.
As a result, the weather in the Yakutia region is extremely harsh, and the biggest feature of Yakutia is that it has long winters and short summers.
In the Yakutia region, the temperature drops to -70 and -70 for nine months of the year.
The temperature is low and the terrain is harsh, making it clearly not a good place to live.
The reason why there are so few in Russia is because the weather here is relatively cold, and Yakutia is the worst place in Russia, so there are so many people.
In tropical and temperate regions, it is very difficult for people to freeze to death, but in Yakutia such tragedies are frequent.
According to news reports, Yakutia experienced extremely cold weather in January 2018.
According to the data, the temperature here has dropped to -50, in some places to -56, and at night, to -65.
Despite the preparations of the local authorities in Yakutia, in the early morning of January 13, a terrible news reached their ears that they had been rescued from a car in the suburbs.
As a result, their car broke down in the Far East and could not be opened, and there was no ** here, so they could not call for help and ended up freezing in the car.
It can be said that this tragedy fully reflects the harsh living conditions in the Yakutia region.
Yakutia has also made great efforts in this regard, wanting to attract more people's attention and help them improve their standard of living.
In 2022, the Yakutia Marathon finally came to an end, and although three years have passed, only 65 runners have come from all over the world to participate, and even fewer runners have actually completed the event.
There is also a good reason to understand that an event was held in Yakutia, which was called "the coldest marathon in the world", when the temperature was -53 degrees Celsius.
In such a situation, it is very difficult for even a professional player to perform at his level.
In general, the biggest drawback of Yakutia is that the weather is too cold, and the local residents are trying to resist this bad weather, for which Russia has also allocated a special amount of money to heat the local area.
However, the cold climate outside prevents them from having children, which may be a major factor in Yakutia's sparse population.
Occupied, development is hampered.
Secondly, for a number of reasons, the main cultural background of Russia caused the "yakurs" to be detached from the mainstream.
The origin and migration of the Yakutia is a mysterious ethnic group with a long history and a long history, which has always been a controversial issue in the academic community.
However, there is evidence that it is highly likely that the Yakurs were a mixture of two ethnic groups, Turkey and Siberia, and were greatly impacted by Chinese civilization during their migration.
For example, the language, writing, customs, and art of the Yakut people have a strong oriental color, and many words similar to Chinese, such as "dragon" and "heaven".
All of this shows that there must have been some kind of close relationship between the ancient Egyptians and China.
In the early 17th century, Tsarist Russia extended its tentacles to the northeast of Asia, and the vast Yakutia region became an important stronghold of Tsarist Russia.
In this way, under the threat of the huge military power of Tsarist Russia, the peace of the Yakul people was shattered, and then completely swallowed up by Tsarist Russia.
* The revolution broke out, the Tsarist regime came to an end, and Yakutia gained independence and subsequently became part of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union attached great importance to Yakutia, and the economy of Yakutia developed rapidly, but in a sense it also restricted the development of the language and culture of the Yakut people.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Yakurs began to look for a path to the development of the country, and their desire to have children did not appear to be very strong.
Due to the limitations of faith and the inconvenience of access.
Thirdly, the unique religious nature of the Yakutia region and its transportation conditions make the number of inhabitants of the region limited to a certain extent.
Some people will say that if the residents of the Yakutia region do not have enough resources, why don't they choose to marry other people, or even move somewhere else?
In fact, the Yakuts also have a very special religion, many of them are shamanic religions that worship ancestors, totems and nature, this clan is a tribal religion.
Shamans can't marry outsiders casually, and many Yakurs are very religious, so they don't want to deal with people anywhere else, let alone move.
Over time, the number of adherents of this religion became less and less, but the population of Yakutia grew, and it was a long process.
Moreover, due to geographical limitations, the long-term development of Yakutia is greatly limited.
Yakutia has more than 32,300 km of roads, including 21,770 km of public roads.
In our country, for example, by now, the national transport network has reached six million km, and the railways have reached 159,000 km, the road reached 5441000 km。
Although Yakutia is rich in resources, it does not have a well-developed transportation system, and the cost of mining and transportation is high, which not only limits their long-term interests, but also limits their development.
If you don't think about it, even if the GDP of the Yakuts is high, their quality of life will become very poor, and no one will go to live in Yakutia.
Therefore, outsiders are reluctant to come in, and internal people are reluctant to come out, so if you can make a fuss about the infrastructure, it will make transportation more convenient.
Over time, as the Yakutia region develops, its inhabitants will gradually increase.
Take the initiative, take the initiative.
Both the Russian and local authorities in Yakutia were aware of their situation, so they reacted accordingly.
For example, in recent years, Yakutia has published a strategic report proposing a new economic architecture aimed at increasing productivity, transportation and energy.
The Russian side is also very supportive of this and has provided a lot of policies and funds, according to the plan, Yakutia will build a complete system of gas production, transportation and **, located in Siberia and the Far East.
And external communication is the next thing for Yakutia to do.
As mentioned earlier, Yakutia and China have a lot in common, which is why the economic, trade and industrial cooperation between Yakutia and China will be so smooth.
In 2014, Yakutia made it clear that it would strengthen economic and trade cooperation with China, encourage Chinese companies to develop in Yakutia, and expand more markets for the industry."
Yakutia Prime Minister Solodov spoke again in 2019, he said that China is a high-growth country, one is a huge market, the other is Yakutia, both countries have their own resources, both countries have their own advantages, and they can carry out mutual benefit and win-win results.
Yakutia is an "infrastructure maniac" whose weaknesses happen to be exploited by China.
Therefore, Yakutia decided to cooperate with China, which is a big move for Yakutia, and China's assistance will also enable the energy industry in the Yakutia region to achieve greater development, thereby ensuring the stable development of the country's economy.
However, in order to increase the income of the population, economic development alone is not enough, and the rights of the population must also be guaranteed, which Yakutia still attaches great importance to.
For a long time, the Yakutian labor market was mainly composed of migrant workers, and the Yakut authorities implemented a strict control policy for foreign workers in order to ensure the normal work of local people.
The results of these measures have paid off, with the number of foreign workers in the Yakutia region falling by about 30% in both 2017 and 2018, creating a total of 3,1000 jobs.
At the same time, U.S. legislation also establishes the principle of priority to protect the legitimate labor rights of natives.
These measures will undoubtedly greatly improve the living conditions of the Yakurid people, and the people's lives will get better and better, and the population will naturally increase.
Conclusion. In any case, Yakutia is a mysterious place, with a large land area and a small number of people, which is extremely rare in the world.
A sparsely populated place like Yakutia, with climate, topography, and transportation, cannot be solved in a day or two.
However, it is clear that Yakutia understands the urgency of the situation, so he also made a series of steps.
In fact, the total population of Yakutia has grown from 100,000 in 1972 to 970,000 today, which is a good development and will continue to increase over time.
