The paper is focused on the analysis of the main reasons for the increasing educational migration of young people in Russian regions and to the determination of the possibilities of influencing its flows. The author pays special attention to the differentiated socio-economic development of regions, which predetermines the specifics of the emergence of territorial problems, as well as key attractive aspects of education. The trends of educational migration of young people in the Siberian Federal District are described. On the basis of comparative analysis and sociological research, motivating factors of youth educational migration that are similar for the regions of the Russian Federation were identified. The main conclusions of the study are that the growing polarization of territories in the modern world, the heterogeneity of educational opportunities increasingly determine youth migration movements, the negative consequences of which require the search for constructive management mechanisms through the analysis of factors in the development environment of the region.
