The unfavorable demographic trends of an aging population are leading to a reduction in the size of the labor force and its structural changes. Young people and older people are the most vulnerable applicants for employment in the labor market. The economic behavior of young people and older people is still insufficiently studied at the regional level. This study analyzes the situation within the region. For instance, the Tyumen region without autonomous okrugs was selected, as a region characterized by a stable situation on the labor market with a fairly diversified structure of the economy (therefore, the study did not include the northern autonomous okrugs). Microdata of a sample survey of the labor force of the Federal State Statistics Service were used as a basis for the analysis. Using binary logit models, the probabilities of being employed in the Tyumen region at the age of 20‑29 and 55-64 are estimated, taking into account the type of settlement and the individual characteristics of the employee. Estimates are given for the Tyumen region and Russia for 2010, 2015 and 2019.The results showed that the greatest contribution to the probability of employment is made by education (higher, secondary and primary vocational) and young age, which is especially typical for the Tyumen region. Men are more likely to be employed both in the region and in the rest of the country than women. Living in a city in 2010 and 2015 reduced the likelihood of employment in the Tyumen region, in 2019 it increased. For the rest of Russia, the marginal effects (slope coefficients) for the variable of urban residence in all years were small but positive.
