In Russia, small towns are facing serious problems due to the mass migration of young people to large cities, insufficient infrastructure development, and sharp aging of the population. According to the analysis, these factors could lead to the disappearance of hundreds of small cities from the map within a few years.
Migration to large cities is increasing among young people. One of the reasons for these relocations is that small towns have limited economic opportunities and very few modern services. In large cities, opportunities for education, employment, and infrastructure are better developed, which encourages young people to move closer to their homes.
In addition, the population of small towns is aging. This situation makes it even more difficult to live in the area, as the migration of the new generation, as well as the depletion of social and economic opportunities, jeopardizes the future of small towns.
