Abstract
Since 2023, according to the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, Berezovsky and Beloyarsky municipal districts of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra are the districts of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. These are the two districts where indigenous small-numbered peoples of the region - Khanty and Mansi - predominantly live. The goal of the article is to analyze the situation with indigenous minorities at municipal labor market and to identify peculiarities of their embeddedness. Research hypothesis: In Arctic regions of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra, representatives of Khanty and Mansi demonstrate a lower level of employment rate comparing to the rest of the region’s population, which indicates insufficient integration at municipal labor market and a lower level of embeddeness associated with lack of vocational education (65.2% of Khanty and Mansi) and insufficient qualification. The methodology of the research is associated with a comparison of data from open sources. It also includes recommendations for improving the situation at the labor market in the Arctic regions of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra, for example, recommendations for of special educational programs, development of traditional crafts, etc. The analysis has shown the correspondence of labor resources with geographic location of enterprises. Khanty and Mansi live in three municipal districts which are considered to be the least balanced in terms of labor market - Berezovsky, Beloyarsky, Kondinsky. The analyzed data for 2023 indicates the aggravation of the situation at municipal labor market for Khanty and Mansi and indicates an acute need for new measures to be taken.
