Studies have been conducted to evaluate the processes of natural and mechanical movement of the population of the regions of Siberia and the Far East in the post-Soviet period (using the example of the Irkutsk and Amur oblasts), the impact of these processes on the formation of labor potential. In both regions, from 1990 to 2017, the natural movement of the population was assessed as narrowed demographic reproduction, which did not ensure the formation of the necessary parameters of labor poten tial in the future. The processes of the mechanical movement of the population were characterized by a migration outflow of the population from the Siberian Federal District (SFD) and Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) to the western regions of Russia. The eastern vector of increase in the outflow of the population was noted: the relative indicators of the mechanical decline in the population in the EFD and the Amur oblast were significantly higher than the average in the SFD and the Irkutsk oblast. The most negative aspect of the influx of migrants from abroad is illegal migration. A set of measures is proposed to solve the problems of internal and external migration.
