Abstract
The processes of international migration in recent years concern a large number of people due to many military conflicts intensification, borders liberalization, internationalization of education, etc. Migration motives are believed to consist of economic, socio-demographic, political and security, language-cultural and ecological and natural determinants. Reviewing migration motives and migration flows dependence on the respective determinants for Ukraine provided an opportunity to form a set of parameters to study empirically migration motivation for leaving abroad. The article researches and generalizes the questionnaire results on migration motivation of individuals. The general results of respondents’ views on their potential migration format are highlighted. The respondents’ individual assessment of the reasoned determinants in relation to their influence on the motivating people to migrate abroad is analyzed. To confirm the results, the indicators of the individual determinants importance are presented. It is determined that the prevailing determinants of migration belong to the group of economic and political-security ones, in particular, low wages, high level of corruption in the country, high unemployment, corrupt and ineffective judicial protection system, state participation in armed conflicts and post-conflict state of the country, high level of inflation, high level of labor income taxation, the complexity of opening and closing a business.
Highlights
Based on the analysis of existing determinants of migration flows formation, the following conclusions are formulated: 1. The economic, socio-demographic, politico-security, linguistic-cultural and environmental and natural determinants of migration motives are determined by combining the relevant environment factors with the institutional factors, based on the expediency of using the institutional approach in the study of international migration
The system of indicators and information sources is described, the use of which is useful for assessing the causal relationships of the above-mentioned determinants to the migration flows formation in countries and regions
According to the response handling results, it has been empirically proven that the prevailing determinants of migration belong to the groups of economic and political-security ones, in particular: low wages, high level of corruption in the country, high unemployment, corrupt and ineffective system judicial protection, state participation in armed conflicts and post-conflict state of the country, high inflation, high level of labor income taxation, complexity of setting up and closing down a business
Summary
Migratory flows intensification changes the structure of labor supply, in particular at its educational and professional level, and determines the level of average wages in the regions most involved in migration processes. Note that modern theories of international migration mainly explain the formation and vectors of migration flows through the economic factors effect (macroeconomic theories (analyze and explain the patterns of migration through the unemployment dynamics, inflation, GDP, wages in the country and population purchasing power)). While determining the determinants totality and their impact on the migration motives formation, it is not possible to eliminate socio-demographic, ecological, natural and political-security, linguistic and cultural factors, as well as the role of migration networks, in particular, diasporas, whose influence has been formed for centuries. It is special to every country and synergistically combined in the regional institutional environment formed during the regional integration processes This necessitates allocating the determinants of migration motives
