Characteristics, Risks and Resources of the Modern Labor Market in Primorsky Region

A number of federal laws and targeted programs intended to speed up the processes of social and economic development of the Russian Far East including Primorsky region are currently adopted in the Russian Federation. The special attention is given to implementation of projects on “Territories of advanced social and economic development”. However, as earlier research has suggested, one of the key problems of successful implementation of these projects is shortage of labor resources. This problem can be partially solved using the internal and external migration, including that from Asian and Pacific countries. In this paper, an attempt is made to sum up the foreign and domestic research related to the analysis of current status, assessment of features, risks, prospects and forecast of labor market development of Primorsky Region with a view to draw up some recommendations for improving its stability.
