LABOR MIGRATION AS A NATIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY FACTOR (REGIONAL ASPECT)
In this article the author looks at a modern state of labor resources development, as a key factor in the revival of the Russian Far East economy. The region has a unique strategical role as a part of the “turn to the East” development policy, introduced by the Russian Government. Yet population of the region is declining rapidly (showing a 23.2% drop in the period 1991-2016), young highly educated people are leaving the region for more developed parts of the Russian Federation. Immigrants from less developed NIS countries add to the Far Eastern population, counting for over 70% of total number of immigrants in the region. Such a migration structure does not promote economic growth of the region and even more so threatens the national economic security. To deal with such situation a long term development program has to be defined, taking in consideration the above mentioned migration issues of the regional development.
