Description
Summary:Abstract The article is devoted to the estimation of population movements intensity in the regions of the Russian arctic. The study is based on the methodology of the balance of population and labor resources movement. For calculations the Rosstat data is used. The analysis showed that during the post-Soviet period, the intensity of population attrition was quite high throughout the country. The population dropped out most quickly at the initial stage of reforms due to an increase in mortality and a significant migration outflow from the regions of the Arctic The share of intraregional relocations was about a quarter of all withdrawals. Most of the attritions were due to migration outside the region or death. The share of those who hadn’t changed their permanent place residence differs significantly among the regions of Russian arctic. Withdrawal of the population from a permanent place of residence in the Arctic regions is one of the main threats to Russia’s security.
