Sumario:Today, the question is often raised about the need to increase investment in human capital, the efficiency of its use, as well as attraction to the regions. Working on the accumulation of human capital, it is necessary to ensure that it does not “leak” from the country; especially for highly skilled workers. The article considers the features of modern migration statistics in Russia. Using the methodology developed by the author, the paper assesses the losses caused by emigration. According to the results of the study, it was found that emigration statistics do not correctly reflect real migration flows. The resulting estimates of the loss of human capital turned out to be quite significant. Taking into account the additional potential losses caused by a possible slowdown in the scientific and technological development of the country, it is necessary to pay close attention to the ongoing processes, the adjustment of economic development programs and migration policy.
