Abstract

The article is devoted to the interaction of external migration and the labor market in the updated realities of Russia's development. The purpose of the work is to analyze and diagnose the socio-economic consequences of labor immigration processes in the modern development of the Russian economy. Methodology and methods of research. The work is based on a systematic, economic, statistical and comparative analysis of the processes of attracting and using foreign labor in Russia. The official data of the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia, the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as well as data obtained as a result of sociological surveys of migrant workers conducted in Russian regions, were used as an information base for the study. The empirical information used in the work is analyzed using methods of statistical and sociological monitoring of key indicators of labor market development and labor immigration. Results and conclusions. The paper evaluates the current trends in the functioning of the national labor market in the context of the problems of balance between the demand for labor and its supply. The factors determining the development of these processes have been studied. The dynamics and directions of the development of the situation in the field of external labor migration are analyzed. The impact of labor immigration on the formation of labor potential and the labor market is revealed. The analysis of migration strategies and attitudes of migrant workers regarding their further stay in Russia is carried out. A number of key problems of improving state policy in the field of regulation of the attraction and use of labor from abroad are considered. The paper shows that the recovery of the domestic economy to the pre-crisis level objectively contributes to an increase in the volume of attracting and using foreign labor. The flows of labor immigration have a contradictory impact on the development of labor potential and the economic development of Russian regions. The quantitative increase in labor resources is accompanied by a decrease in their qualitative characteristics. The expansion of labor immigration requires the modernization of policies in the field of regulating the use of foreign labor. The scope of the results. The main results of the study can be used in the development of measures in the field of migration policy and the policy of regulating the Russian foreign labor market.
