Abstract

The paper considers socio‐economic and demographic potentials of the Russian North, and makes the general description of its administrative‐territorial composition, population size and density of population. The paper reveals the peculiar features of the Russian colonization of the northern and the Arctic territories and its difference from other countries experiences. Based on the proposed methodology, the analysis of population dynamics was performed, which showed the role of natural and migration growth. Assessment of the impact of migration resulting from socio‐economic and political processes in the country on the transformation of the socio‐demographic structures is made. The result of the study was that if the current demographic and migration dynamics continue in the coming years, the North and the Arctic will continue to lose its population, women will remain outnumbered and the dependency ratio will increase. Este artículo examina el potencial socioeconómico y demográfico del norte de Rusia y describe de forma general su composición administrativaterritorial, y el tamaño y la densidad de la población. El artículo revela las peculiares características de la colonización rusa de los territorios del norte y del Ártico y las diferencias respecto a las experiencias de otros países. A partir de la metodología propuesta, se realizó un análisis de la dinámica de la población, que mostró el papel del crecimiento natural y de la migración. Se evaluaron los efectos de la migración como resultado de los procesos socioeconómicos y políticos en el país sobre la transformación de las estructuras sociodemográficas. El resultado del estudio fue que si la actual dinámica demográfica y de migración continúa en los próximos años, el norte y el Ártico seguirán perdiendo población, las mujeres seguirán siendo superadas en número y la tasa de dependencia aumentará. 本稿では、ロシア北部の社会経済的及び人口統計学的な潜在性を考察し、その行政/領土的構成、人口規模、人口密度を概説する。北部及び北極圏におけるロシアの植民地化における特異的な特徴と、他の国との違いを明らかにする。提案した方法に基づいて、人口動態の解析を行い、自然増加と移動増加の役割を示した。社会人口構造の変化に対する、国内の社会経済的及び政治的過程の結果として生じる移住の影響を評価した。今後数年間も現在の人口動態と移住の動態が続くと、北部と北極圏の人口が減少し続け、人口性比は低下したままで、従属人口指数は上昇するという結果が得られた。
