Abstract	The article analyzes the age structure of interregional population migration in the Russian Far East in order to identify general trends and characteristic features inherent in the migration movement of each subject of the Russian Federation within the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), as well as to determine the degree of influence of regional differences on the formation of the age profile of migration. The information base was data from the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia on the age composition of arriving and departing interregional migrants in terms of one-year age groups in the Far Eastern subjects of the Russian Federation from 2018 to 2023. Using cluster analysis, the subjects of the Russian Federation within the FEFD were grouped according to the principle of prevalence of certain age cohorts in the general flows of interregional arrivals and departures in order to identify intragroup similarities and intergroup differences in the age distribution of migrants. It was found that the age structure of interregional migration in the FEFD as a whole reflects the age specificity of the territories that are predominant in terms of migration scale and are part of the southern zone of the macroregion, which, unlike the northern zone, has a younger profile of interregional migrants due to the high intensity of movement of the young population at the age of finishing school and receiving higher education and a lower – of the population after 35 years. It is shown that the difference in the formed age structure of migration is due to the spatial heterogeneity of the territories of the Russian Far East, including natural and climatic conditions, economic specialization, specificity and structure of employment, the presence of educational institutions of higher education.
