Abstract
Attracting and preserving human capital is one of the key tasks of regional development. It is believed that only Moscow successfully solves it. But in times of crisis, Moscow’s share of the number of migrants arriving decreases, including due to a drop in the ratio of income to the cost of living in the capital. As a result of the pandemic and expanding opportunities for remote work, some professionals will think about moving to less densely populated, but comfortable cities. We study the factors that contribute to the attraction of highly qualified personnel. Econometric calculations have confirmed the importance of the presence or proximity of a large labor market, a high quality of life, a favor- able institutional environment, and comfortable bioclimatic conditions. Based on the identified factors, an index of attractiveness of regions is proposed; Among the leaders in 2018: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow Region, Tatarstan, Krasnodar Territory, Samara, Voronezh Regions. In the top 10 regions in 2011-2018. accounted for more than 40% of all attracted highly qualified personnel. Regions that will be able to attract professionals in the post-crisis period to develop digital technologies and related knowledge-intensive sectors of the economy will benefit in the long run. This will require measures to develop the rental housing market, improve the urban environment, and create favorable conditions for entrepreneurs and investors.
