Article is dedicated to the systematisation and synthesis of conceptual and theoretical approaches related to the clarification of the relationship of ideology and everyday life and their correlation. In addition, the article identifies the basic concepts, with theoretical and methodological importance for understanding the issues and principles of reflective analysis of the ideological everyday life. Ideology at the level of everyday life is seen in breaking through everyday human existence, being a bearer of public relations. Identification of theoretical approaches in the study of ideology in the context of everyday life allows to update subjects related to various aspects of this study and to determine the contours of its problem field when ideology at the level of everyday life is seen through the breaking of the daily existence of a human as a medium of social relations, as well as ideologically intense everyday life. Return of everyday life as the subject appears in the emphasis on everyday "establishment" of social reality in its ideological dimension. It is the coordinates of the correlation of ideology and everyday life, which can be used to construct the concept of ideological everyday life. Certain approaches to this subject can be traced in its ideology in the breaking with the semantic aspect of everyday life. Ideology is capable of forming the tissue of social reality, with ideological knowledge and values serving as important social functions, organizing, regulating, directing and integrating the activities of people in the spiritual, political, economic and social spheres of public life. The problem field of socio-philosophical reflection regarding the ideological everyday life includes the selection of theoretical research approaches and building a methodological construct, based on the conceptualization of the basic concepts and the delineation of the broad outlines of the study. The choice of the theoretical research approaches is determined by complex and multifactorial nature of the research subject - the ideological everyday life as a concept and a social phenomenon. As a result, the theoretical and methodological approach aims to understand what should and what can perform social and philosophical knowledge in a rapidly evolving social reality of the transitional Russian society.

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to relate the pattern of economic growth with demographic data based on the natural population changes.Design/methodology/approachThe methodological foundation of this research consists in the structural and functional approach to the comprehension of the social system, methods of mathematical simulation of the dynamics of expansion and extension of the ecological niche of population and methodologies that are currently used for calculation of gross domestic product (GDP).FindingsThe research finding consists in the development of the theory of social evolution in the form of horizontal and vertical social differentiation, which is conditional upon the growing production of the excess product, which leads to the simulation of relation between the natural population changes and the production of GDP, expanding the boundaries of the ecological niche.Research limitations/implicationsThe relevance of the problem under study is driven by the need for theoretic interpretation of interrelation between the pattern of economic growth and demographic data based on the natural population changes.Originality/valueThe research leads us to the conclusion that there is a functional (for closed societies) and correlative (for open societies) relationship between the GDP growth and natural population changes with the property that the positive or negative population growth depends on the quantity of the total consumed costs (TCC) and its critical values.
