This article presents the results of a sociological study on social attitudes and migration intentions among female college students. The relevance of this issue stems from the need to understand the factors influencing social and migration attitudes, as well as the reproductive attitudes of young women, who are a key resource for the demographic and socioeconomic development of small regions. The authors’ analysis of empirical data revealed a contradiction between the respondents’ high career ambitions and the limited opportunities of local labor markets. The authors identified the structure of demands regarding the quality of the urban environment, which is predominantly basic and infrastructure-related. Using cluster analysis, four types of migration strategies were identified: “stayers,” “integrated,” “ambivalent,” and “care-oriented”. The article concludes that a contemplative social mindset predominates among young women. The respondents also expressed a potential willingness to live in small towns with a modern, safe, and comfortable environment for living, working, and raising children.
