Abstract
Background. The article is describes the problems and peculiarities of labor and employment of the younger generation in the Arctic regions of Russia in the context of modern political, economic and socio-cultural reality. Special attention is paid to the results of a sociological study of the youth of the Arkhangelsk agglomeration, where the risks of job instability are quite acute, which in turn leads to high rates of migration attitudes. Purpose. The authors aim to reveal the socio-cultural and economic aspects of the problem of labor and employment of young people living in the Russian Arctic. Methodology. The main research methods used were content analysis of monographic and periodic scientific publications, statistical analysis of socio-economic indicators, and sociological surveys of representatives of the younger generation. Results. It has been established that the main reasons for the migration attitudes of the younger generation of the Arctic region are both the lack of employment opportunities, career growth and decent earnings, as well as dissatisfaction with the “future” and “cultural environment”. At the same time, the authors are convinced that in modern conditions, the successful socio-economic development of the Arctic territories depends on ideological and political stability, life strategies of young people, identity and emotional connection with the territory of residence. Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in the practice of regional authorities responsible for the implementation of youth policy, including in the field of vocational guidance, employment and employment.
