Bazhutova E.A. Specific entry: Social and Economic Development AnnotationThe article analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with the transition of Russia’s Arctic regions to a knowledge economy, focusing on developing cities in these territories as key multifunctional centers. Based on a historical and contemporary analysis of approaches to the development of the Arctic and remote northern territories, as well as a study of regulatory documents on development strategies for these regions, the author demonstrates the special role of universities and research centers as drivers of economic growth and social stability. A quantitative assessment of educational infrastructure and migration trends reveals systemic issues, including youth outmigration, declining student enrollment, and imbalances in the development of the education sector compared to the situation across Russia as a whole. These issues are further highlighted by the results of a pilot survey of school students in the Murmansk Oblast and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which revealed a low level of intention among young people to study at local educational institutions. As a solution, the author proposes the introduction of career guidance and mentoring mechanisms within a new framework of complementary development. This approach aims to retain skilled professionals, stimulate the development of scientific and educational infrastructure, and create conditions for the sustainable development of these territories.
