Over the past three decades, there has been a rapid decline in the share of young people in the Russian Far East due to migration outflow from 24.4% in 1990 to 18.6% in 2018. In the Far East, the process of reducing the share of young people in the structure of the population is going on more intensively than the average for Russia - by 5.8%, while in Russia - by 4.3%.
