One of the characteristics of the quality of life is the degree to which the population meets social needs, including educational needs. The policy of access to education is part of the social policy of the state, it affects the process of human capital formation. The availability of higher education (the availability of state-funded places and the availability of paid educational services) tends to decrease. A decrease in the number of universities helps to improve the quality of admission while reducing the quality of the educational services themselves of higher education. As a result, there is a tendency to shrink the educational space of Russia following the compression of the economic space in the country’s large cities. This may contribute to increasing regional educational, technological and socio-economic inequality in the regions of the Russian Federation.Keywords:
