Research and Economic and Mathematical Modeling of Rural Population Migration

The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems of migration of the population of rural areas at the present stage on the basis of methods of economic and mathematical modeling. The article discusses issues related to the increasing complexity of the development of remote rural areas and the deterioration of the demographic situation in them. The solution of these problems should be based on a systematic study of the factors of territorial development of management facilities. It is well known that many factors are involved in an aggregated and averaged form, which, in turn, complicates the specification of their relationship. Therefore, in aposteriori, one can find arguments in favor of any factor and the direction of its impact. The paper asserts the need to study the processes occurring in rural areas at the "micro level", since the results of the study contain a large number of empirical indicators of the level and lifestyle of the rural population, which make it possible to identify trends, establish patterns, and find stable links between their various indicators. The digitalization of the economy opens up wide opportunities in this sense, which makes it possible to automate the search for significant relationships between features in the conjugacy tables of a sufficiently large dimension. It is argued that the study and mathematical modeling of the migration process in rural areas is a necessary condition for a more specific analysis of its patterns and determining the reactions of individuals to certain controlling influences.
