More than 11 million children living in poverty die before their fifth birthday
every year
More than 20,000 people perished yesterday of extreme poverty

SWOT analysis of the Khabarovsky krai social and economic development
SWOT analysis of the Khabarovsky krai social and economic development
Strengths Weaknesses 1. Geographical location and economic status: proximity to
market outlets of Pacific Rim and North-Eastern Asian countries; high transport and transit capacity due to relatively well-developed transportation network.
2. Abundance of diverse natural resources.3. High land supply for economic development.4. Diversified economic system.5. Inward capital investment by national financial and industrial
groups and international corporations.6. High educational level of the Krai’s population.7. Developed system of vocational education.8. Political and social stability.
1. Drastically long distance to the most populated and economically developed regions of the European Russia.
2. Irrational use of natural resources.3. Lack of territories for continuous development, which
includes the majority of northern territories, lack of agricultural and arable lands, extreme climatic conditions on the most part of the region.
4. Relatively low competitiveness of manufacturing industry and agriculture, partially due to high power rates and transportation costs.
5. Underdevelopment of production, transport and social infrastructure.
Opportunities Threats 1. Effective public policy for regional social and economic
development to include: - special economic, social and financial incentives to economic
and business development in the FEFD; - proactive approach to investment policy; - stimuli for economically active population to permanently settle
in the region.2. Organization of transport-and-industry development zones in
the Russian Far East, including an industrial and service belt in the south, organization of a contact zone with neighboring economies of the North-Eastern Asia, and intensive development of аn economic area along the northern latitude with integrated industrial and transport zones.
3. Servicing of international transport and power corridors and infrastructural engineering projects.
1. The Krai may become a raw material appendage of developing north-eastern Asian states.
2. Demographic desertification of the territory due to natural population loss and outward migration.
3. Deterioration of manpower potential (ageing of skilled workers, outward migration of qualified personnel due to ever-widening gap in the living standards and life quality between the Russian Far East and European Russia).
4. Higher probability of ecological catastrophes and natural disasters, due to, among other reasons, progressive transborder pollution of the Amur River basin, forest fires, etc.
5. High crime rate, including economic crimes.
