Abstract: the article discusses the problems of population savings, which are especially relevant for the northern regions of Russia, where population reproduction is accompanied by certain risks associated with the specifics of the Arctic zone. The main threats to demographic security in the indigenous indigenous peoples include the persistence of a negative migration balance, a reduction in natural growth and the total fertility rate. In addition, the preservation of demographic security is affected by problems in the field of mortality: the presence of high losses of the working-age population as a result of premature mortality from external causes of death; persistence in excess of male mortality; reflected in the low level of life expectancy. As a result, demographic threats are expressed in the absence of significant demographic growth. Problematic issues in the field of population mortality represent the main threats to the demographic security of indigenous peoples. In the Arctic region, there is a high proportion of deaths among people of working age, with a significant excess mortality among men. Mortality from external causes of death, which ranks second in the structure of causes of death, has a significant influence on the formation of the overall mortality rate of the population. These causes of death can constitute a significant reserve for reducing mortality in general, which determines their priority position among measures to reduce mortality in the population as a whole. The study analyzed problems and developed solutions to reduce infant mortality among indigenous peoples in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. For this purpose, policies regarding the health of indigenous peoples of the North were reviewed, including measures aimed at reducing child mortality. As conclusions, recommendations were formulated aimed at increasing the efficiency of the health care system and social support for indigenous peoples.
