Emigration--a real threat to the country's future.


 In the period 1990-1994, more than half a million people emigrated from Russia. This trend is analyzed and its consequences for Russia considered. The author notes that more than half the emigrants are of working age, almost one-third are children, and that the highly skilled and well-educated are overrepresented. The case is made for social and economic reforms that would decrease the attraction of emigration. This article was originally published in Obshchestvennye Nauki i Sovremennost', No. 3, 1996.
