Annotation Regional features of economic development depend on the changes taking place in the national economy as a whole and in its discrete economic activities, and the changes in the structure of regional economy. In the process of economic development, under the impact of a dynamic set of socio-economic factors the role and place of industries (economic activities) in the industrial structure of regions are changing, i.e.the structural changes take place. The average linear and quadratic average characteristics have been used as indicators of the structural changes in the economy of the regions. The Russian Federation territorial units within the Pacific zone have a great extent – from the extreme northeast of the country to its southeast, they are correspondingly presented by Chukotskiy Autonomous Okrug, MagadanskiyRegion, KamchatskiyKrai, Sakhalinskiy Region, KhabarovskiyKrai and PrimorskiyKrai. The Pacific territories of the country have an advantageous economic and geographical location, rich natural resources potential, skilled labor resources. Rational economic use of the favorable factors should ensure the effective development of the national economy and social sphere of the country and region. The state of the region’s economic structure and level of population income are the most important indicators of its functioning efficiency. In particular, a dependencybetween profitability of the enterprises, population income levels and peculiarities of employment patterns within the federal territories in the Pacific zone was analyzed. Higher incomes of populationare recorded in the RF federal territorial units, where most population is engaged in industrial production (mining). However, it is more promising to develop manufacturing sectors, which ensure more steady structure of the regional economy and its competitive produce.
Key words Pacific regions, structural shifts, industrial production, incomes of population, the economy and social sphere development.
