Abstract
The article deals with the demographic development of the Arctic regions of Russia for the period 2010–2021 from the perspective of the concept of resilience. The search for new approaches to improving the sustainability of the economy of the Arctic regions requires a deeper study of the influence of the demographic factor on socio-economic systems. The analysis allowed the authors to identify the main trends, features and patterns of demographic development of the Arctic zone of Russia, including in the pilot region — the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). In the study the authors identify negative trends in demographic processes that adversely affect development of the socio-economic systems of the Arctic regions. Scientists express the opinion that the present realities require a change in the vector of implementation of the preferential regime of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. There is a need to go beyond a «business-only» regime and provide preferences for the population in the Arctic in order to retain and attract them. The authors conclude that the prospects for demographic development in the Arctic will depend on a proactive state policy in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation with systematic measures to create conditions for living and vital activity of the population in the Arctic.
