Reasons for the Growth of Foreign Labor Migration

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 socio-economic 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.

Keywords: migration; personnel; economy; consequences; development.
