Влияние трудовой миграции на технологическое развитие стран ЕАЭС

The formation of a single labor market in the EAEU creates new opportunities and risks for national economies: the free movement of labor resources within the integration association affects not only the level of wages or employment, but also leads to more complex, complex consequences for donor and recipient countries. Using correlation analysis, the paper verifies the hypothesis that the reverse spillover effect associated with the return of migrant workers to their home countries contributes not only to the growth of value added in labor donor countries, but also stimulates demand for new technologies and services, which ultimately leads to an increase in the level of technological development of EAEU countries. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there is no statistically significant relationship between the variables under study – labor migration does not have a significant impact on the level of technological development of the EAEU countries. The results of the study can be used to develop a strategy of technological development of the EAEU countries, taking into account the parameters of external labor migration.

Mechanisms for regulating external labor migration within the framework of the existing functionality of the regions of the Russian Federation

The author examines in detail the regional legal regulation of external labor migration in the Russian Federation, taking into account the transformation of the main tasks of the state migration policy of the Russian Federation at the present stage. The object of the study is external labor migration in modern Russia, the subject of the study is the mechanisms of regulation of external labor migration at the regional level. The study examines the legislative foundations of both a complete ban on the involvement of foreign workers in temporary employment, and a partial ban related to certain areas of economic activity. The author also considers the possibilities of regulating the cost of obtaining permits (licenses) and developing alternative programs for external labor migration related to the introduction of organized, targeted and returnable external migration. As methods of scientific research, political, legal and institutional analysis were applied, as well as a systematic method used to study public administration in the field of migration. The systematization of the existing restrictive tools in the field of external labor migration, which can currently be used by the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, has been carried out by the author. The features of the implementation of each of the considered mechanisms are revealed. A new approach in the field of management of external labor migration is proposed, related to the development of regional programs for the organized involvement of foreign citizens in temporary work on the territory of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the basis of existing international agreements. The potential positive trends associated with the introduction of organized recruitment mechanisms in the context of the transition to a segregationist model of migration policy, which is currently being successfully applied in a number of Arab States, such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are predicted.

Деякі регіональні особливості вимушеної міграції з України: столиця та інші регіони.

The forced migration of Ukrainians within the country and abroad has become a characteristic feature of the era of full-scale invasion. It saved the lives and health of many people, as a decrease in population density in the areas most affected by the hostilities leads to a decrease in human losses. Despite the great research interest in the topic of forced migration, some aspects of it still remain poorly understood, in particular, it is important to study the peculiarities of forced migration at the localities level, at least in large cities. The purpose of this article is to single out the category of forced migrants who lived in Kyiv before the full-scale invasion by the aggressor country and to identify the peculiarities of staying abroad and the attitudes of this group. To achieve this goal, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, and induction were used. Empirical data were collected using the method of sample surveys. The method of grouping was used to distinguish Kyiv residents from the general population of respondents, and the method of comparison was used to identify the peculiarities of their forced migration abroad. The study found that Kyiv residents are more likely to settle abroad in the capitals of their destination countries. Among them, there are more unmarried and childless individuals, which creates prerequisites for socio-economic integration outside the country. Also, people from the capital were less likely to have relatives abroad at the time of the full-scale invasion, which is likely due to their low level of participation in external labor migration in the previous period. Migrants from the capital proved to be better integrated in the countries of settlement, which is reflected in their proficiency in the local language, employment in the local labor market, and higher levels of financial well-being. At the same time, they retain stronger ties to Ukraine. Residents of Kyiv region are similar to Kyiv residents in some respects, while in others they are similar to residents of other regions. The study also revealed cases where the population of Kyiv region exhibited characteristics intermediate between Kyiv and other regions. The development of effective strategies for migration management, socio-economic development of the country during the war and post-war revival needs to take into account regional specifics.

This study deals with the peculiarities of the socio-demographic situation in Kyrgyzstan. It analyzes the trends of population growth, declining birth rate, migration, youth unemployment, problems of access to healthcare and education, and ethnic inequality. This study used statistical data and sociological surveys. This reveals an increase in poverty, reaching 33.2% by 2022. The reasons for this are unemployment, low incomes, and dependency. There is a high level of external labor migration. Remittances from migrants improve living standards; however, migration has negative consequences. The government is taking measures to improve the situation, including programs to support families, develop education and health care, and increase employment; however, the problems of poverty, unemployment, and high mortality require further solutions. Kyrgyzstan's demographic policy needs to be improved, considering the best practices of other countries.

Административно-правовое регулирование миграционных отношений в сфере внешней трудовой миграции

The globalisation of factors of economic development, the development of world economic relations is manifested, in particular, in the formation of the international labour market, stimulating the growth of external labour migration. These processes fully affect Russia and sharply actualise the need to improve legal regulation, a new level of institutional interaction of public administration bodies at the federal and regional levels on the regulation of external labour migration flows. The necessity of developing the concept of external labour migration is proved, which requires a systematic approach based on the “reverse” dichotomous analysis, which makes it possible to consider external labour migration as a single socio-legal phenomenon consisting of relatively autonomous, but organically connected outbound and inbound labour migration flows. Ensuring the national interests of Russia involves the search for an effective administrative and legal mechanism for the implementation of state policy in the field of external labour migration, developing in the unity of closely related outbound and inbound labour migration flows. The imperfection of migration legislation in the field of external labour migration requires its codification, development and adoption of a separate federal law “On external labour migration”.

This article reflects statistical data on the change in the volume of external labor mi-gration of the Russian Federation due to the arrival of labor migrants from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (hereinafter - the CIS) in the period from the beginning of 2020 to the 1st half of 2023. Based on the data, the general trends of the identified changes are analyzed, the main factors influencing the process of labor mi-gration are highlighted.

МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ ТРУДОВАЯ МИГРАЦИЯ В РОССИЮ В УСЛОВИЯх КАДРОВОГО ДЕФИЦИТА В ЭКОНОМИКЕ: АНАЛИЗ СОВРЕМЕННых ТЕНДЕНЦИЙ

Objective: to determine the resource for increasing the efficiency of migration flows into the Russian economy during a period of personnel shortage. Methods: generalization, abstraction and analysis of the dynamics and structure of labor migration and their determining factors.
 
 Results: Russian enterprises have been experiencing an acute shortage of personnel over the past 25 years. In the absence of internal sources of labor, the influx of foreign workers becomes a nomadic factor in ensuring the growth of national production.
 
 Conclusions: Modern external labor migration is characterized by a flow of unskilled labor, which hinders the development of technological progress, increased wages, productivity growth, etc. To cover the shortage of personnel, it is proposed to expand the attraction of foreign labor from countries with which we currently have a visa entry regime. However, the migration policy should be very competent, because we are in conditions of fierce competition for labor with the countries of Southeast Asia.

СУЧАСНІ ПЕРЕДУМОВИ ЗОВНІШНЬОЇ ТРУДОВОЇ МІГРАЦІЇ УКРАЇНЦІВ

The article examines the modern prerequisites of foreign labor migration, analyzes the main factors and the impact on donor countries and recipient countries. Economic, social and political prerequisites are proposed among the main aspects that are considered, which encourage Ukrainians to go abroad with pension provision.

The article is relevant and important in the context of the modern world, where external labor migration is an extremely large challenge and opportunity for the country.Keywords. external labour migration, prerequisites for migration, labour migrants, remuneration, employment, economic instability, National Bank of Ukraine.

СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ВНЕШНЕЙ ТРУДОВОЙ МИГРАЦИИ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ В РОССИИ И ИХ РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЕ

The subject of the study is a set of issues related to the regulation of external labor migration in the Russian Federation. The goal is to justify the need to further use external labor migration as a source of replenishing Russia’s labor resources and mitigating the growing personnel shortage in the economy. For this purpose, the main problems and myths associated with the current aggravation of the migration situation are considered. The scientific novelty lies in the substantiation of the need to reform migration statistics, clarify the scale of labor migration, and manage its flows. The study was conducted using quantitative and qualitative analysis methodology. Its empirical basis was statistical data, materials from media publications, and the results of published and own sociological expert surveys of migrants. As a result of the study, a conclusion was drawn: modern flows of foreign migration are quite stable, and in their scale and structure they serve as a necessary addition to the country’s shrinking labor resources. The modern shortcomings of accounting, control, and regulation of external labor migration and their reasons, which cause uncertainty in the assessment and forecasting of migration processes, are revealed. The proposals made based on the results of the study are aimed at determining the conditions that, in addition to the project for reforming migration legislation, should be ensured for the effective use of the labor of external labor migrants and not pose a threat to Russian society.

ИНТЕГРАЦИОННЫЕ НОРМЫ В СФЕРЕ МИГРАЦИИ: ПОНЯТИЕ И ЗНАЧЕНИЕ ДЛЯ РАЗВИТИЯ МИГРАЦИОННОГО ПРАВА РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

The purpose of this study is to study the concept and significance of integration norms in the field of migration and their impact on the development of Russian migration law as a sub-branch of administrative law, there is a lack of development of the concept of integration norms and forms of their objectification.As a result of the study, it was revealed that integration norms have a set of specific features that distinguish them from the norms of international and national law, which is due to the very legal nature of their occurrence and the role that they play in achieving the goals of the integration association, which is the Eurasian Economic Union. Conclusion: as a result of the study, a definition of the integration norm was formulated, integration norms in the field of external labor migration of workers of the Eurasian Economic Union member states were considered, their subinstitutional place in the system of Russian migration law was recognized.

The Impact of International Labor Migration on the Balance in Regional Labor Markets

In recent years, the demand in the Russian labor market continues to grow, while the labor force, which determines the supply, on the contrary, is declining. In the current situation, business points to the desirability of expanding the involvement of migrant workers, but government officials express concerns that this might create a threat to the employment of Russian citizens. The purpose of this study is to determine the contribution of external labor migration to the formation of the labor force in Russian regions, considering the specifics of the reproduction of local labor resources. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the analysis of the latest statistical data on external labor migration and labor markets detailing by regions of Russia. The authors pay special attention not only to the quantitative characteristics of the flow of foreign workers, but also to the quality indicators of these labor resources. The relevance of the study is due to changes in the labor markets balance and migration trends and under the influence of powerful stress factors in recent years, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of a special military operation, and a new wave of sanctions. The empirical basis of the study is an array of official statistics, for the analysis of which standard statistical methods are applied. Based on the results obtained, the authors discuss the effectiveness of modern federal and regional migration policies. In conclusion, the results of the study are summed up and possible directions for improving instruments for managing the movement of foreign labor are identified. The authors conclude that today the system for regulating the mobility of labor resources does not ensure that their supply meets the changing needs of the labor market, and justify the need to develop a selective system for attracting labor migrants.

External labor migration in modern Russia: socio-legal and criminological contexts

In modern Russia, criminological and sociological problems of external labor migration are relevant and topical, and primarily associated with large-scale uncontrolled and illegal migration, as well as with the ongoing criminalization of the sphere of migration relations. The problems accumulated in the migration area pose a significant threat to the national security of our country. The author has made an attempt to identify social hotbeds and determinants of the criminalization of migration processes and to formulate special measures and means aimed at decriminalizing the sphere of migration relations and reducing the level of illegal migration in Russia. The aim was to consider the current processes in the field of external labor migration in the Russian Federation and specific tasks to identify the main problems in this area in the socio-legal and criminological context and to propose effective ways to solve them, which are characterized by novelty and originality both in practical and theoretical terms. The research was carried out on the basis of empirical methods of cognition (conversations, in-depth interviews, sociological survey), as well as general scientific and interdisciplinary methods of cognition (comparative legal, formal legal and structural-functional). The key idea of this publication is that the scale and level of criminological and sociological problems in the field of external labor migration require development and adoption of a codified regulatory legal act — Migration Code of the Russian Federation, which would prescribe in detail and enshrine legal status, order of entry and stay, duties and rights of external migrants in Russia. Due to the special criminological and social significance of the processes of social adaptation, acculturation and integration of external labor migrants, the author of the publication proposes to develop and adopt a Federal Law «On social and cultural adaptation and integration of external labor migrants in the Russian Federation» with detailed regulation of appropriate measures, procedures and mechanisms.

Demographic and migration processes in the Far East of Russia (on the example of Primorsky Krai)

This article highlights the features of demographic and migration processes characteristic of the Far Eastern Federal District (hereinafter referred to as FEFD) in general and Primorsky Krai in particular. Based on materials of official statistics, the resident population dynamics of all Russia’s subjects that are part of the FEFD is considered. In this region, the development specifics’ of modern period migration processes are revealed; differentiated indicators of migration increase/decrease in the population are analyzed. A number of implemented state initiatives are outlined, to some extent contributing to the improvement of the socio-economic situation of the FEFD, as well as the normalization of its demographic situation. However, it is noted that despite the adoption of special measures/conditions, it is not possible to overcome the negative demographic trend of the macroregion. The paper emphasizes that in the Far East external labor migration has become a valuable source of compensation for the shortage of local labor resources. Thus, according to the author, the foreign labor force of this macroregion should be considered as the most important element of its socio-economic development, putting forward the problems of international labor migration among the most priority issues.

Demographic Development and Trends in Population Migration in Uzbekistan

The article reveals the features of population reproduction mode in Uzbekistan and its new trends that have developed over the past years and will ensure a large-scale increase in the country’s labor resources in the future. The research outlines changes in the sex and age structure of the population which predetermines the size of the workforce. The scale of labor migration in Uzbekistan and the factors that determine it are estimated. The object of the study is population, trends in its reproduction and mobility. The goal of the study is to reveal the features of the demographic situation that determine many important directions of the socio-economic development of the republic and the formation of labor migration flows. The research found that in many regions of Uzbekistan, the rate of job creation lags the growth rate of labor resources resulting in unemployment, especially among young people. According to survey results, the imbalance in the labor market, as well as the low labor cost were the main reasons for seeking work outside the country. Also, the results of the survey substantiate the positive and negative consequences of current external labor migration, changes in the qualitative characteristics of labor migrants and their priorities. Given the demographic situation in Uzbekistan today, in the coming years there will be a significant outflow of labor migrants to foreign countries, where Russia will prevail. Labor migration will continue to provide relative stability in the labor market of the republic and the inflow of remittances, which will contribute to improving the living standards of the country’s population. Changes in the migration policy of Uzbekistan aimed at streamlining migration processes in the republic that have been made in recent years will play a significant role.

Migration Processes in the Post-Soviet Space: Russia and the Peculi

The article considers migration processes in the post-Soviet space, relative to the Russian Federation, as the main center of migration attraction. Empirical data are introduced into scientific circulation, characterizing some migration indicators in 2022 on the basis of which the features of external labor migration to Russia are revealed. The author analyzes quantitative and qualitative indicators of external migration on the basis of not only statistical data, but also regulatory legal acts, which makes it possible to determine the ratio of migration needs and migration challenges faced by Russian society, which generally negatively perceives the migration model implemented in the state. The conclusion proposes measures that allow, according to the author, to increase the effectiveness of the implemented state migration policy and reduce the conflict potential of external migration.

Причини зростання зовнішньої трудової міграції

Abstract. Introduction. In the conditions of intensive migrations, the need to regulate such processes is increasing, there is a need to use the positive potential of labor migrations for the purpose of development, minimizing negative consequences, ensuring the rights and freedoms of migrants. That is why reducing migration should be one of the priority tasks of the country's state migration policy. As a result of the fact that Ukraine is at the same time the country of origin, destination and transit of migrants, the territory of migration flows of different characteristics, different directions and different scales, ensuring state regulation in the field of migration is a complex task, the solution of which requires a complex, systematic approach, adequate funding, personnel and scientific software. The modern migration processes taking place in Ukraine are influenced by several important factors, which turned out to be insufficiently decisive and consistent, the promotion of European and Euro-Atlantic integration, in particular, the acquisition of a visa-free regime with the European Union. The migration experience and extensive networks formed as a result of the long-term participation of Ukrainians in migrations are a negative process for the socioeconomic development of the country. Purpose. The desire of Ukrainians to improve their material situation is always a motive for migration, directly economic, both within the country and abroad. Since income from employment is the main component of financial status, labor migration is most characteristic of residents of low-wage countries. Today, it is very important to set the right vector in the direction of preserving and using the labor potential of Ukraine, for the development and uplifting of the economy as a whole. Results. Study of external migration of labor potential and determination of the consequences of social and psychological stress in families. To draw parallels between the level of actual unemployment of Ukrainians and changes in the real income of their families, as one of the reasons for the increase in external labor migration of the population. Conclusions. The importance of the implementation of direct functional duties of state authorities: promoting the creation of new jobs for the unemployed, preventing the mass exodus of young people and the able-bodied population, controlling and regulating the demographic crisis, combating unregulated migration.

ПРАВОВЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ТРУДОВОЇ МІГРАЦІЇ В ЄС

The article is devoted to the analysis of international legal acts regulating labor migration in the EU, as well as the problems of their international legal protection. It is proved that the migration policy of the EU is not only a consolidated mechanism that affects the migration processes in the conditions of integration, but also takes into account the different spectrum of interests and the sovereignty of powers of the member states, their territorial, economic and political features. In this regard, the importance of observing certain limits of legal regulation is emphasized. The main directives and other international legal acts in the field of labor migration at the EU level were analyzed. Attention is drawn to the fact that EU bodies and institutions have limited competence in the field of legal regulation of legal migration. Formation of migration policy and mechanisms of legal regulation of the specified area remains the prerogative of the member states. It is noted that since in most cases, the acts adopted at the supranational level are directives, this means that the implementation of the provisions of these acts, the methods of their interpretation and interpretation completely depend on the competent national authorities. It is also stated that the measures adopted by the European Union in the field of integration do not provide for the harmonization of national legal systems. Instead, the actions of the EU are aimed at the gradual convergence of the legal status of citizens of third countries who are legally in the territory of the EU, long-term residents, to the legal status of the countries of the European Union. It was concluded that in today's world, on the global labor market, the tendency to change the migration policy of states in the context of understanding the need for legal protection of migrant workers, the inadmissibility of excluding migrant workers from legal protection systems is increasingly noticeable. In this regard, a special role is assigned to the state migration policy, which must take into account all factors of external labor migration that affect the system of social and labor relations in the state.

Development of Russian tourism in the contemporary social and ethnocultural conditions

The author considers tourism as a relevant social-cultural phenomenon of contemporary Russia, which is important for economic development and establishing interethnic and interreligious balance in the cultural-axiological space of Russa. The author pays special attention to the migration processes in their connection with the situation in the tourism and hospitality industry and prospects for its development. Considering the global diversity of migration forms and types, the category of legal foreign labor migration is analyzed to clarify some substantial issues of external labor migration as having social and intercultural meanings. The author explains the efficiency of labor migrant flows in the renewing Russian touristic sphere; emphasizes the ethnocultural specificity of tourism and the ethnic character of migration; considers the regional situation through the host population’s perception of labor migrants and the native population’s assessment of the ambiguous role of foreign specialists in the formation of ethnic-cultural and civil identities in the multicultural Russian society. Tourism is defined as a significant economic and intercultural stabilizing factor contributing to the development of a tolerant environment and integrating external migrants into the host society. The article describes the relationship between the effective development of internal tourism and the progressive regulation of foreign labor migration. The analysis of the features of migration processes shows the changing nature of external labor migration due to objective socialeconomic factors, and the role of labor migrants in the formation of the all-Russian civil identity. The author insists on the correlation between the growing attractiveness of tourist sites and a stable and peaceful situation in the sphere of interethnic and interreligious relations, including between the autochthonous and allochthonous peoples of multinational Russia.
