TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and analyze migration wishes and intentions of young residents of the Russian Far East, and propose various substructures of youth potential based on specific social youth groups.
Abstract: Due to the priority Russian development mainly through the use of natural resources, the Far Eastern Region’s role in forming the economic basis of the country increases considerably. In this connection, an objective necessity is to study conditions for increasing the Far East potential and improving the effectiveness of its use, including its youth component. The reviving economy requires new qualified human resources, highly professional experts capable of working with new technologies under the conditions of growing competition and high production requirements. With the development of market relations the social structure of the society is dominated by sharp social polarization trends. Differentiation of young people takes place, and various substructures of youth potential are formed on the basis of specific social youth groups that have different starting opportunities determined by the material level of well-being, access to education, health, and quality of family life. The Jewish Autonomous Region as a subject of the Russian Far East experiences to a lesser extent than other far eastern territories all the consequences of a large population outflow. At the same time the prospects of its development are directly associated, among other things, with the availability of a highly skilled manpower of working age that will develop the economy of the region. This article deals with issues of migration of young people living in the Russia’s Far East. The article identifies and analyzes migration wishes and intentions of young residents of the Far East. The information of the article is of practical value for public administration professionals, social workers, university students, and all those interested in youth issues.

TL;DR: Researching Non-Heterosexual Sexualities as mentioned in this paper provides a glimpse into the research world for the graduate student or new faculty interested in starting, or already engaged in, research of sexualities in many fields, including sociology, anthropology, geography and public health.
Abstract: work that qualitative research can often be, especially among researchers who come from similar backgrounds as their participants. Another strength lies in the chapters that are international in focus. The methodological concerns in the United States are not always the concerns in other parts of the world. Chapters bring in data and research experience from the United Kingdom, Australia, and Cyprus in particular. A number of chapters also cover intersecting areas of identities; two chapters focus on religious LGBTQ research and a number layer in racial and ethnic complexities. Perhaps both topics can be given greater space should future editions be planned—work emerging from Africa, Asia, or South America would be especially helpful to researchers interested in populations within these areas. Furthermore, examination of methodological concerns among non-heterosexual U.S. African American or Latino populations could also strengthen coverage of intersecting identities. Some drawbacks of the edited volume are present. First, there appear to be a number of typographical errors in the book’s introduction. Regardless, these errors do not detract from the larger mission of the book. Also, while subsequent chapters are accessible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students, the introductory chapter is written at a level that may alienate some readers. Lastly, greater efforts could be made toward trans-inclusive research methodologies (see for example Meier and Labuski’s Chapter Sixteen in International Handbook on the Demography of Sexuality [2013]). While transgender individuals are not necessarily nonheterosexuals, there are often sizeable proportions of trans people who also identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, or other identities who also have specific research methodology concerns. Researching Non-Heterosexual Sexualities offers a nice glimpse into the world of research methods that your standard empirical journal article often does not. It is selfreflective and critical in the ways in which we do research in marginalized communities. While we may discuss these issues internally, at conferences, or in personal conversations, it is a welcomed breath of fresh air to hear others grapple with methodological concerns in the (relatively) open air of an academic anthology. This book is a ‘‘behind the veil’’ glimpse into the research world for the graduate student or new faculty interested in starting, or already engaged in, research of sexualities in many fields, including sociology, anthropology, geography, and public health.

TL;DR: In this paper, six socioeconomic factors were selected to explore the influences on the net migration in the Far North and East regions of Russia, and the best fit model after tests was selected.
Abstract: Russia has experienced population decline in years and the economic development in Russia is largely restricted by labor shortage, particularly for the Far North and East region. In order to explore the migration mechanisms, six socioeconomic factors were selected to explore the influences on the net migration. Data from the 82 regions covering four time periods (2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015) was processed use spatial panel econometric analysis and the time-period fixed effects Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) was selected as the best fit model after tests. The results indicates that, unemployment and infant death rate are significantly negatively associated with net migration, while urbanization rate, urban scale and life expectancy are significantly positively associated with net migration; every 100 USD increase in per capita GRP (Gross Regional Product) is positively related with averagely 5.4 net migrates in the region; every 1 year increase in life expectancy would increase 1052 net migrates; every 1sqm increase in urban scale would increase the net migrates by 11.75 and every 1% increase in unemployment would lead to a decrease of 0.54 net migrates. Spillover effect was also found for per capita GRP and life expectancy, indicating that the increase of per capita GRP and life expectancy in neighboring regions can also increase the attractiveness in one region. It can be concluded that better job market, better economic status and health related wellbeing are all attracting factors for migrates and these factors can even make the neighborhood region more attractive for immigrates. Considering the ambitious development plan for the Russia Far North and East regions, related suggestions on attracting migrates are provided.
