The study of peculiarities of human resources in the regions of the Russian Arctic is the subject of the article. The analysis of the human resources of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District has been accomplished and its results are suitable for the use in other regions of the Russian Arctic. The analysis of the statistical data of the Arctic regions of foreign countries and the Russian Federation is used as a method of research, as well as expert assessment of the applicability of algorithms of calculation of integral indicators developed on the basis of methodologies of calculating the HDI of the UNDP for assessment of human resources. Wherein human resources are considered from the standpoint of the human capital theory. Basing on the results of the conducted study, the authors conclude that it is necessary to develop a strategy for human resource development of the Arctic Regions. It is impossible to develop such a strategy without methods of measuring the level of human resource development. The methods of measuring the level of human development based on UNDP methodology HDI are currently not quite suitable for evaluating the human resources in the region. They are designed for the regions where citizens live in different economic and legal spaces and get all socially important services within the region. In the Russian Federation all the regions are linked by single legal and economic space, and therefore one can get socially important services using information technologies in other regions, the subjects of which are in the same jurisdiction.
