[Genetic and demographic structure of the Talysh population]. / Genetiko-demograficheskaia struktura populiatsii Talyshei.

Investigation was carried out in Talysh population in mountain region of South Azerbaijan. There is extended reproduction in the population. From XVIII till the beginning of XX century there were 3-3.6 offsprings in a family. In the last generation with completed reproduction, the family size raised to 7.13. Modern factors of population size dynamics are considered. It turned out that the main new factor (in conditions of increased family size) is the intensive migration from the population, mainly in men, that results in transformation of sex index in the reproductive age (ratio men/women is 0.77), and a large part of women stay unmarried. Crow index is Itot = 0.426, its components are Im = 0.115, If = 0.260.
