| Peculiarities of formation and development of the population in the Arctic regions of the Sakha
Republic (Yakutia) are considered. The negative balance of migration and natural growth reduction
have been found to serve as a key reason for the region depopulation. The marriage participation
has been marked as decreasing. The high levels of unsold matrimonial needs of ethnic groups are
shown to result from the narrow marriage market. The celibacy problem has been found relevant
for both men and women. Priority actions to be taken in the coming years should aim in solving the
problem of decreasing mortality and increasing life expectancy, reducing migratory losses, promoting
the family. Close interrelation of the migration policies and policies with employment and
socio-economic development of the Arctic territories will contribute to the decrease of the negative
trends in demographic processes. |
