Out-Migration and Depopulation of the Russian North during the 1990s

Abstract

A World Bank demographer closely involved in the study of massive out-migration from Russia's northern regions during the post-Soviet period analyzes its spatial and temporal patterns, causes, and implications. The study is based on unpublished oblast-level migration data compiled by the Russian Government, field work by the author, as well as two extensive 1998 surveys of recent and potential migrants, respectively. Age, gender, and educational level of migrants are analyzed to determine the extent of change in Northern population structure attributable to migration. A concluding section presents Russian Government projections of the North's population to 2010.
