	abstract = {The current state of&nbsp;the social sphere in&nbsp;many countries, including Russia, is&nbsp;one of&nbsp; the sensitive issues in&nbsp; their socio-economic development. On&nbsp; the one hand, the population&rsquo;s demands for the availability of&nbsp;quality social services and the expansion of&nbsp;their spectrum are growing, and on&nbsp;the other, states are not always able to&nbsp;satisfy these requirements due to&nbsp; the lack of&nbsp; necessary financial, technological and innovative resources. Such situation leads to&nbsp;the necessity of&nbsp;finding ways and instruments that expand the capabilities of&nbsp;states to&nbsp;meet the social needs of&nbsp;the population. One of&nbsp;such instruments is&nbsp;a&nbsp;public-private partnership, which has already established itself in&nbsp;many sectors of&nbsp;the economy, including the social sphere. The aim of&nbsp;the study is&nbsp;to expand knowledge of&nbsp;public-private partnerships in&nbsp;the social sphere of&nbsp;the European Arctic countries and to&nbsp;determine the possibility of&nbsp;using this experience in&nbsp;the Russian Arctic territories. The research involves methods of&nbsp;logic and content analysis, also the case study method is&nbsp;used. The study has proved that in&nbsp;order to&nbsp;solve problems in&nbsp;the social sphere, cooperation between the state and business is&nbsp;an extreme necessity. Social problems are especially acute in&nbsp;territories with extreme living conditions, which include the Russian Arctic. And it&nbsp;is in&nbsp;the Arctic where there are conditions for the development of&nbsp;public-private partnership, since the interests of&nbsp;business and the state coincide in&nbsp;increasing the level of&nbsp;social development of&nbsp;territories. Business needs educated, qualified, healthy labor potential, adapted to&nbsp;the conditions of&nbsp;the Arctic, ensuring an&nbsp;increase in&nbsp;the efficiency of&nbsp;companies&rsquo; activities, and the state needs conditions that ensure a&nbsp;high quality of&nbsp;life for the population, national interests and sustainable development of&nbsp;th e Arctic territories.},
