THE CONDITIONS FOR ATTRACTING POPULATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FAR EASTERN HECTARE

Abstract

The attraction of population to theFar Eastand Far Eastern lands’ development in modern conditions besides economic meaning has as well geopolitical task. With the aim of attracting population to the given region, the Government of theRussian Federationhas elaborated the program “Far East Hectare”. The article provides proposals, aimed at stimulating the attraction of the population and lands’ development. Attention should be paid to the expansion allocating lands to migrants, taking into account the specialization of farms, starting from10 hectares. In the sphere of credit relations, it may be effective to reduce loans’ rate to 5%, and for mortgage loans within 3—4%. Of significant meaning will be the strengthening of material incentives to attracting population via the preservation of district coefficients and northern allowances. Given that most of the benefits are planned to be implemented at the expense of regional budgets, the article proves the necessity to ensure the infrastructure for new settlements at the expense of the federal budget, otherwise the problem of national importance – settlement and development of theFar Eastlands – can be stretched for a long time. The study of the pre-revolutionary experience of settling the Asian part ofRussiaprovides many examples of a positive solution to the problem of ensuring the inflow of population to theFar East.
