Conclusion
Thus, the population of Ust-Labinsk (Krasnodar Territory) as a whole is increasing, although there has been a recent trend towards a gradual decrease in this indicator. However, this decline is not as pronounced as in many other cities of the Russian Federation, which can be explained by favorable environmental conditions, competent policy of the leadership of the Krasnodar Territory (this is one of the most successful regions of Russia), and a positive situation on the labor market. But since there is still a decline, it can be assumed that young people prefer to go to larger cities (for example, Moscow), where there is a higher level of salaries and a wider variety of vacancies.
