Far Eastern economic region
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Far Eastern economic region (Russian: Дальневосто́чный экономи́ческий райо́н; tr.: Dalnevostochny ekonomichesky rayon) is one of twelve economic regions of Russia.
Bordering on the Pacific Ocean, the region has Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Khabarovsk, Yakutsk, and Vladivostok as its chief cities. Machinery is produced, and lumbering, fishing, hunting, and fur trapping are important. The Trans-Siberian Railroad follows the Amur and Ussuri Rivers and terminates at the port of Vladivostok. [1]

In ruble terms, wages appear high in the Far East, but people are less likely to feel their job is secure, and less likely to have received their wages in full. They are also more likely to have the state as their employer, and to regard their current life situation as unbearable. Population is migrating out from the region at a very high rate, reflecting a relatively low level of expectation that life will improve in the region, and a level of life expectancy slightly below the low all-Russian average.
