Abstract: Abstract The article analyzes internal migration of the population aged 15–29 between individual macroregions of Russia and between settlements of different sizes in 2011–2020. Calculations showed that young people are concentrated in the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts, and this is due to their flow to the agglomerations of Moscow and St. Petersburg. At the same time, young people are more actively concentrated in cities with a population of 250 thousand people or more and their suburbs. The interregional youth flow is smaller in scale than the central-peripheral one. Even in areas of stable population outflow, in the North and the Far East, the flow of young people to other parts of the country is much smaller in scale than their movement to large cities. The scale of the youth outflow in 2011–2020 is greatly underestimated due to the auto-return; this article provides migration calculations that take its impact into account.
