The objective of the paper is to make a comparative description of the conditions for human development in the regions of Siberia and the Far East against the background of other territories of Russia. Based on the statistical data from 2014-2017, the typology of the Russian regions differing in external conditions for human development of the population is constructed using factor analysis. Its distinctive feature is that among the influencing factors the behavior of the population is taken into account. The concentration of population in regions with favorable conditions is shown. In most regions of Siberia and the Far East, conditions are unfavorable: low incomes, low life expectancy, accelerated reduction in the number of personnel engaged in research and development, reduction in the cost of technological innovations and the rate of growth in the volume of innovative products.
