The article studies the problem of human capital assets of Siberian and Arctic zones based on the example of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (Krai).

The paper summarizes the existing approaches to the assessment of the quality of life as an objective characteristic of the living conditions of the population, and clarifies a set of socio-economic indicators of the assessment of the quality of life, the calculation of which is based on official statistics. Based on the fact that the dynamics of the human capital of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, along with other Siberian regions, is mainly caused by migration, the paper presents an analysis of the quality of life of the population of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in comparison with Siberian Federal District and Russia as a whole in order to clarify the aspects of the migration outflow and inflow of the population.The results of the study can be used to develop a monitoring system of migration processes in the region to increase the rationality of the decisions on the development of the human capital of Siberia made by the regional authorities.

The article addresses the approaches to measuring and assessing the limited and specific resource for the economy – human capital – in terms of information support for the quality of life management in the regions where “Yenisei Siberia” integrated investment project is being implemented (hereinafter – “Yenisei Siberia”), given the settlement system features and its professional structure, the current level of economic development and trends in production and demography, as well as the impact of ethnocultural, natural and geographical factors. The quality of life here is considered both as a statistically measurable quantity and as an estimated, subjective category determined by human behavior. It is the peoples’ well-being, based on the quality of life interpretation in the region that supports the human capital formation and its investment behavior, as well as the basis for cutting spatial inequality in the regions through coordination and joint management of the socio-economic spatial development. Taking into account such asymmetry in the socio-economic and socio-cultural situation in the regions, the authors propose an approach to the formation of homogeneous regional clusters for measuring the level of human capital and QOL in the territories of the macro-region of the Yenisei Siberia

The article describes methodological aspects of the analysis of asymmetry in the modern
