Subject. This article analyzes the State programmes of the Russian Arctic regions aimed to implement natalist policies.
Objectives. The article aims to identify and classify the tools to stimulate birth rate in the areas that are fully or partially within the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.
Methods. For the study, we used general scientific and statistical analysis methods, and the graphic visualization technique.
Results. The article describes the fiscal, organizational, and economic tools to stimulate fertility in the regions of the Russian Arctic. The article notes the insufficient use of the available set of fertility incentives in the Arctic regions, as well as the lack of a systematic approach to their implementation.
Conclusions. It is necessary to improve the State regional programmes of the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation in terms of a more complete and comprehensive use of birth rate stimulating tools.
