Pitukhina M.A. Migration Processes in Russia in the Context of the Modern Global Challenges - Ageing of Population and Globalisation

Abstract: The article is dedicated to the qualitative analysis of the migration processes on Russia in the context of the modern global challenges — ageing of population and globalisation. Based on the received data about strengths and weaknesses of the modern migration policy of Russia, the author has formulated a "map of challenges" of the migration processes in Russia. This "map of challenges" will allow to assess the measures undertaken by the government on national and regional levels in order to form efficient migration flows for the labour market of the country. Generally, it can be stated that at the present time the migration policy does not allow flexible reaction to the current changes both in global economy and on the labour market — first of all, due to such global problems as ageing of population and globalisation. In order to justify the results of the research, the following methods were used: SWOT-analysis, classification, comparison, expert evaluation and extrapolation of trends. In order to improve the decision-making process in the field of migration, the author has proposed to introduce an exam in Russian culture for migrants; to eliminate isolation among migrants; to create conditions to prevent the brain drain from the country; to improve the long-term knowledge about the integration of migrants; to create conditions to renew the Russian population due to the increased birth-giving; to decelerate ageing of the Russian population due to the increase of retirement age; to form a demand for competences among migrants; to create a global partnership with the countries that supply labour resources.
