Abstract: The object of the study is the rural population and the labour force of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the work is to study the demographic situation and the formation of the workforce in rural areas of the Russian Federation. Over the period 2015-2021, the number of rural populations decreased, both due to natural decline and due to the departure of the population from rural areas. In 2016-2021, the demographic burden of young people in the city has increased, and in rural areas it has decreased. The demographic burden over the working age is decreasing among the urban population and increasing among the rural population. The level of participation of the rural population in the labour force is falling. The percentage of employment of the rural population in 2021 was 53.1% compared to 60.7% in 2015. During the studied period of time, every fourth rural resident is at retirement age. The level of participation in the workforce of the disabled rural population in 2021 was 16.2%. The level of participation in the workforce and the level of employment of graduates of 2018-2020 in 2021 in urban areas are higher than in rural areas, which testifies to the need to create jobs and improve the quality of life of the rural population. While maintaining the prevailing trends in the development of rural areas characterized by low quality and standard of living of the population, there remain problems of participation of the rural population in the workforce and employment. The solution of demographic problems of the country is carried out in accordance with the Concept of Demographic Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025.
