Abstract

Background. The article deals with open aspects of the development of employment in North Asia. Of particular importance is the location of labor resources. Solving the problem of the totality of socio-economic development between regions is a basic condition for ensuring national security. Northern Asia is an appraisal area, since it contains the main natural resource potentials of our country, which account for a quarter of the total population and produce almost a third of GRP. Purpose. To study the features of the spatial development of employment of the population and the impact of national trends, industry specialization, sub-regional specifics and intra-regional regulation on the labor market of the territories of North Asia. Materials and methods. Methods of comparative analysis and economic-statistical methods are used. A comprehensive assessment of the spatial aspects of the development of employment in the regions of North Asia was carried out on the basis of an adapted method of structural shifts. The information base was the data of the Federal State Statistics Service. Results. The causes and contribution of individual changes in the structure of employment of the population of a particular region are identified. Based on the calculation of the localization coefficient, the territories of North Asia were identified, in which agriculture in the period under review is: the basic type of economic activity; local (regional significance) or is outside the specialization of the region. Conclusion. The method of structural shifts makes it possible to formulate in-depth conclusions about the transformations in the regional labor markets. Studies have shown that in order to increase the attractiveness of North Asia in terms of investment and reduce migration risks, especially in rural areas, it is necessary to take measures aimed at increasing the availability of infrastructure services, including social, transport, medical, and educational services. The main conclusions and recommendations can be used by the legislative and executive authorities in the development of programs to promote employment and socio-economic development of the regions of Asian Russia. Funding. The study was carried out within the framework of the state task of the Baikal Institute of Nature Management SB RAS Project No. АААА-А21-121011590039-6 (0273-2021-0003).
