The article discusses the reason for underestimating the use of mathematical methods in demographic courses for economists. The juxtaposition of population theories and methods of demographic analysis and the denial of so-called "formal demography" is a dead-end path that leads to a decreasing quality of training in an increasingly quantitative format of economic education. The paper discusses the options for teaching demographic courses in bachelor's and master's programs and demonstrates the need to move from a single compulsory course to a set of electives with demographic content, designed for students with different levels of mathematical training and diverse professional interests.

The article analyzes methodological forms of interdisciplinary approach in teaching of demography at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels. The author stresses on two methods for undergraduate students at the faculty of Economics: inclusion interdisciplinary lectures in basic course, and the development of interdisciplinary case studies for seminars.

The interaction between demographic and economical factors of the development of the regional labour market is being considered. The analysis of the dynamics of key economical-demographic indexes is completed on the base of the wholly period of market transformation. The idea that the market transformations determined not only the structural changes of the economy, but also the adequate intersectoral displacement of labour resources and so the labour sphere optimization is approved. The defining reaction of the labour market on the structural dynamics of the economy caused the growth of institutional variety of employment's forms.

The article investigates the Eurasian Economic Union from the perspective of political demography. The union includes countries that significantly vary in their demographic and economic conditions. This often leads to diverging goals and strategies of the members in their domestic and foreign policies. In the world population and world economy, the size of this union is insignificant, and it is unable to have substantial impact on global trends. The prospects for the EAEU's expansion are limited by a number of ideological and geopolitical factors and at present has any potential for growth only in Central Asia. As a result, at this stage, its expansion cannot enhance the quality of its performance. Thus, the EAEU cannot claim the role of a new economic center of Eurasia. It seems that the EAEU is used primarily for geopolitical purposes rather than for genuine integration union and real economic interests.Key words: the Eurasian Economic Union, Political demography, expansion, World Politics, World Economy. ; В статье рассматривается Евразийский экономический союз (ЕАЭС) через призму политической демографии. Интеграционный блок включает страны с различными демографическими и экономическими характеристиками, что провоцирует противоположные цели в их внутренней и внешней политике. В мировом населении и мировой экономике удельный вес этого объединения незначителен, и оно не имеет возможности серьезно влиять на глобальные тренды. Расширение ЕАЭС ограничено рядом идеологических и геополитических факторов и пока возможно только за счет слаборазвитых государств Центральной Азии. Подобное расширение не способно качественно изменить характеристики объединения, а значит, ЕАЭС пока сложно претендовать на роль нового экономического центра Евразии. ЕАЭС в нынешней форме скорее решает геополитические задачи, нежели является интеграционным объединением с реальными экономическими целями.Ключевые слова: Евразийский экономический союз, политико-демографические характеристики, расширение, мировая политика, мировая экономика.

This article, based on data from an expert survey, describes and interprets data from statistical observations together with the results of a mass survey conducted in the Republic of Dagestan, which was undertaken in order to study the regional characteristics of internal (within the country) and external (international) migration. It was discovered that regional migration processes, as perceived by the masses in Dagestan, reflect the statistical data, which shows a mechanical decline in the population due to a migratory exchange with other regions within the country, as well as a minor influx of migrant workers from nearby foreign countries. The main directions of internal migration for Dagestan's residents appear to be highly developed in terms of their socio-economic situation regions such as Moscow and the cities of West Siberia. The material from the expert survey allows for meaningfully interpreting the characteristics of how such a factor as migration affects the demographic, socio-economic and sociopolitical aspects of life in Dagestan. Dagestan's people's firmly established outlook on the positive influence of migration on the region's socio-economic situation, which supposedly decreases tension on the local labor market, is complemented by a notion that preserving such a tendency would create demographic risks in the long term such as aging of the population and a decrease in the birthrate. The majority of Dagestan's residents are not yet concerned with the influx of immigrants, with the local population showing a high degree of tolerance in regards to external migrants. The article argues that such a tolerant and friendly attitude towards migrants has to do with both the modest amount of non-transit migrants in Dagestan and the fact that they tend to be similar to most peoples of Dagestan in terms of their socio-cultural profile, them being ethnic Muslims. Regardless, the demand for the government to implement measures aimed at the social adaptation and cultural integration of migrants (mainly teaching said migrants the Russian language and basic information on Russian legislation) is present even in Dagestan's society, which is accustomed to ethnical and confessional diversity.
