title: [Demographic processes in the Amur region under conditions of economics reform in Russia].
abstract: Demographic and migration processes are analyzed for the Amur region, a typical Far-Eastern Russian territory with low density of population, in the historical and modern aspects. Low birth rate, high mortality, and negative natural increment of population reflect the social and economic reforms of the nineties in the Russian Far East. Demographic situation and migration processes in Asian and Pacific countries neighboring the Russian Far East are characterized by positive tendencies (high birth rate, natural increment in population number, and tendencies of migration of the capable population from densely populated central and Southern provinces to little populated Eastern provinces). According to the demographic prognosis, during the nearest decades we shall witness acute shortage of working resources in the Amur region, which will stimulate the already high flow of foreign manpower from the neighboring countries (China and Northern Korea). This necessitates urgent stabilizing measures at the local and federal levels.
