Abstract

Nowadays, the role of the Arctic in the world is constantly growing. Many states link their long-term goals with the Arctic region. Since 2000, the changes that are occurring in the region have global economic and political consequences. The concept of human development has emerged in recent years as an alternative to such dimension of human well-being or the quality of life as gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. The nature of human development in the Arctic, the attempts to understand and regulate it have become key issues not only for the development of the Arctic people themselves, but also for the development of the entire Arctic region. Depending on the proportion of indigenous and non-indigenous population, the age factor in each circumpolar region significantly affects the social and economic conditions of the territory. The driving forces of social and economic development of the Arctic regions and the main macroeconomic indicators (gross regional product per capita, life expectancy etc.) cannot provide the necessary positive dynamics in the implementation of "social potential" of the Arctic region. Accordingly, action is needed to create conditions that would reveal the full potential of the Arctic regions of Russia and ensure high level and quality of life in the framework of the new social policy.
