Abstract

— This article presents the results of the analysis of the volumes and directions of migration flows of the population to nine Arctic regions of Russia. Federal subjects of Russia with an excess working population are identified based on statistic data on the status of regional labor markets. The hypothesis of the role of labor-surplus regions in the supply of the Arctic with human resources is tested. The analysis is based on data from the official statistical reports of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) on interregional migration of the population at ages of 14 years and older. Qualitative aspects of the population migration to the Arctic are analyzed with respect to the reasons for the change of migrants’ place of residence and the level of their education. The geographical structure of migration flows to the Arctic regions is determined based on summary information, using statistical analysis methods. The results of the analysis show that only a small share of the total migration flow from 15 labor-surplus regions is directed to the Arctic. It has been revealed that labor-surplus regions are characterized by a positive balance of population migration to the Arctic unlike other regions of Russia. It is shown based on the example of the Republic of Dagestan that the regions of the North Caucasus may be suppliers of labor resources for the Arctic regions of Russia. Fifteen Russian regions with the largest annual number of migrants to the Arctic have been identified. The results of the study may be used by relevant authorities for the implementation of policy aimed at attracting labor resources to the Arctic regions.
