A sociological study conducted by the authors in 2020 shows that four out of five young people are considering migration from the Primorsky Region. This trend is impoverishing human capital in Russia’s Far East, depriving the area of the opportunity to develop an innovative economy and ensure a high quality of life for the local population.
