Abstract

Questions of quantitative and qualitative provision of technological, economic, scientific and social development of the Arctic subjects of the Russian Federation are considered by researchers in the context of several paradigms. It is shown that, speaking of human resources as a factor in the development of the Arctic regions of Russia, it makes sense to refer to scientific knowledge not only in the field of human resources, but also in the labor potential and human capital of the regions of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. Education should be singled out as the most important component of all these categories. Russian scientists use the concept of human capital a number of studies of the Arctic, and, as a rule, regard such issues as the provision of skilled labor, unemployment, and life expectancy of the population of the Arctic territories. The main and most discussed problems in the framework of scientific discussion for the development of human resources and human capital are the disproportions between the distribution of graduates of the education system by educational specialties, on the one hand, and the structure of the labor market needs for specialists, on the other hand; as well as the loss of valuable human resources and their human capital due to migration outflow. The proposed measures to combat these negative phenomena are quite diverse, however, in the context of the development of human resources and human capital in the Arctic regions, the issues of the “northern wage gradient” and/or any more effective mechanisms that can replace it are practically not considered.
