EVALUATION OF CONSEQUENCES OF EXTERNAL LABOUR MIGRATION IN UKRAINE
Section: PROBLEMS OF MIGRATION
Language: Ukrainian
Abstract: The article deals with evaluation of the modern trends of external labor migration of the population of Ukraine and their influence on long-term social-economic development. External labor migration is considered as a complex of three interrelated kinds of migration (a single departure with a return; circular migration; long-term migration that changes into permanent resettlement) that can transform into each other. The main consequences of external labor migration have been identified; the interconnections between positive and negative consequences of the process have been illustrated. An evaluation of quantitative variables of long-term influence of the modern trends of labor migration on demographic situation and labor market development has been made. It was estimated that possible transition of external labor migration into a permanent form will not have a significant effect on predictive dynamics of population size and structure, but additional decrease of economically active population, that is a result of labor migration, will speed up occurrence of labor shortage in Ukraine for 3-4 years. A classification of directions of remittances’ application according to a standard of benefit for economic development has been made; influence of remittances on territorial differentiation of incomes of population of Ukraine has been estimated. It has been illustrated that remittances from labor migrants mitigate a sixth part of current territorial differentiation of incomes of population of Ukraine. Recommendations for improving the state migration policy in the current situation have been formulated on the basis of analytical framework developed while the conducting research.
Key words: external labor migration, long-term consequences, evaluation of long-term consequences, remittances, labor migration regulation.
