Abstract

We have carried out a polysystem analysis of the population dynamics by using a varietyof hypotheses and their respective models based on different system interpretations of thephenomenon under investigation. Each of the models supplements standard dynamic equationsfor explaining the effects observed. A qualitative model-based analysis is made of theage-specific male mortality for a Siberian industrial city. The study revealed thetendencies for background mortality to increase with age and over time, whichcharacterizes in an integral manner the influence of socio-ecological factors on thedecline in population viability. It is shown that these tendencies are similar fordifferent years and for different population age groups.
