Russian citizens prefer to work in their native region rather than going to another city to earn money. Yuri Krupnov, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Institute of Demography, Migration and Regional Development, explained the reasons for this behavior.

The second factor is the small number of young people in their twenties and thirties. This is up to one and a half times less than ten years ago.
“The third factor has to do with the fact that people’s financial situation has deteriorated over the past few years, especially over the past year. To leave, either high salaries are required, and you have a rental apartment.
