Abstract: In this article, the authors analyzed the demographic and socioeconomic situation in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. They examined prevailing demographic trends, key economic and social development indicators, the labor market situation in the regions of the Russian Arctic zone, challenges in providing the region with the necessary skilled labor, and selected public health indicators. Conclusions were drawn regarding the divergent demographic development vectors of Russia's northern territories, the prevalence of negative migration processes, and the need to preserve and further develop human capital, the size and quality of which are determined by the extent of investment in education and healthcare. Based on the results of this analysis, it can be concluded that to address the diverse and complex challenges of reviving the Russian Arctic, it is essential to preserve and further develop the region's human capital as the primary driver of innovative economic and social progress.

Key words: The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, demography, socio-economic development, human capital, labor resources, education, healthcare, northern territories.
