Barriers in social and economic development of the Far East

Abstract

The analysis of the social and economic situation which developed in the Far East of Russia is given in this article, measures for the removal of barriers on the way of its forward development come to light and proposed. In the macro-region it isn't possible to solve the main problem creating ge-opolitical threat so far – outflow of the population. The guarding factor is that among the territorial subjects of the federation at this process there are the regions holding a close border position with the adjacent foreign countries. Along with it, a considerable part as a part of decreasing popu-lation is constituted by the working-age persons having high professional training. Low, in comparison with the average Russian, social security of the population, turning of productions and reducing the workplaces are the basic reasons of such provision. Measures undertaken from the middle of the 90th didn't lead to essential shifts in a positive side of these processes. Acceptance of the new approaches and measures directed to the solution of this task is necessary. The territories of the advancing development (further – TAD), accomplishment of the orders of the Russian President directed to the removal of tariff restrictions in the energy industry and on transport, development and adoption of the special Federal law "About Development of the Far East" can become those, according to the authors, along with the further enhancement of a program and a target method.
