Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the large role of migration in population formation in the Far East of Russia against the background of its continuing decline. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of target groups including certain age groups of the permanent population and migrants increases the effectiveness of migration policy enhancing its targeting. The article is based on a demographic approach, which allows us to assess changes and the relationship of the main demographic characteristics of different categories of the population of the Russian Far East. The purpose of the research is to study the age profile of migrants and the impact of migration on the age structure of the permanent population of the regions of the Far East at the present stage. The empirical base is the array of secondary data from Rosstat for 2018–2022 with details by age, subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and territories of the origin and destination of migrants. To process the data, the authors use statistical methods: analysis of absolute and relative values, calculation of coefficients, cluster analysis. The selected groups of regions reflect general trends and specific features in the migration of population in different ages: the level of territorial mobility, volumes and directions of movements, the effectiveness of these processes, the degree of their influence on the age structure of the resident population. The results obtained made it possible to identify regional features of the migration age profile in the Far Eastern Federal District and assess its role in the formation of the permanent population, as well as formulate a number of hypotheses regarding the likely factors determining the intensity and directions of population movements of different age groups in the considered regions of the Far East. It is shown that most regions, regardless of the effectiveness of migration processes, are united by the departure of young people aged 15–19 years, the influx of the population at young working age (20–24 years and older), and the intensive outflow of migrants of pre-retirement and retirement age after completion of their working career.
