A considerably higher life expectancy and a marked reduction in the reproductionrate accompanied by a relatively high outmigration rate has become visible in the age group distribution in the Arctic, opening up the possibility of a future shortage in the labour force, especially among skilled workers. An important consequence to this change has been a relative reduction in number of persons in the active working age group of 15 to 65 and a marked increase in the dependency ratio. Regions with shares below 64% -light green coloured regions- includes Nunavut (Canada), Taimyr & Nenents (Russia), the Faroe Islands and Lappi (Finland) in contrast with regions having the highest shares in Yukon, Labrador and Northwest Territories (Canada), Chukotka and Yamalo Nenets (Russia) and Greenland indicated with dark green colours.
