Abstract

The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the Far East have great economic potential and the important geopolitical importance. However, the outflow of young people from these regions and the aging of the population are a serious threat to the national interests of the country as a whole. The cost of living, low economic prospects, and climatic realities are becoming the causes of increasing migration. Due to the relevance of the topic of attracting young people to the Northern and Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation, the State Duma Committee for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic in partnership with the journal «Russia: Society, Politics, History» organized a round table dedicated to the formation and prospects for the implementation of life strategies of the youth of the Arctic and the Far East. This article will review in scientific way the reports and recommendations from the experts of the round table, as well as draw conclusions about the vectors of solving the problems of youth in the Arctic and the Far East.
