Arctic and North-West Russia forestry industry supply analysis with higher education personnel

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the supply of the forestry industry in the regions of the Arctic and the North-West of Russia with higher education personnel. It analyzes statistical data from four forms of state federal reporting for 2022. The list of areas of training and specialties of higher education organizations, in which the training of highly qualified personnel for the timber industry is carried out, was determined. A group of economic activities related to the five main areas of the forestry complex was formed. We calculated estimates of the annual additional needs of the forestry complex of the Arctic and Northwest Russia macro-region in personnel with higher education. Based on these data, a comparative analysis of the output of higher education institutions in the areas of training and specialties of the forest industry and the volume of staffing needs of forestry complex organizations in employees with higher education in 15 subjects of this macroregion was conducted. The analysis revealed the subjects, the staffing needs of which can be met by graduates from their region, as well as the subjects that need graduates from other regions to cover the needs.
