MANAGEMENT OF EXTERNAL MIGRATION AS A FACTOR IN REDUCING RISKS FOR RUSSIA'S HUMAN CAPITAL

Abstract

The article examines management decisions on regulating migration processes taken in different periods of the Russian economy development: from liberalization encouraging the arrival of compatriots and refugees from the post-Soviet space against the background of growing emigration of Russians, to tightening the migration strategy and its adaptation to achieve national goals of socio-economic development of the country and the formation of its human capital. When conducting a statistical analysis of international migration, the authors used available data from migration agencies and Rosstat. Based on statistical data from Rosstat, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the FSB of the Russian Federation on the use of foreign labor entering the territory of Russia ‟for work” who have received work permits, the authors note differences in the methodology for accounting for foreign labor, which does not allow for a reliable assessment of its number staying in the country. The use of calculations by the expert community confirms the imperfection of migration statistics, and its appearance in the media affects the severity of society's perception of the migration problem. Therefore, the reliability of information on external (international) migration requires improving its quality and responsibility of the subjects of migration policy management and its provision to society. For a long time, theoretical studies, when considering the complex demographic situation in Russia, have substantiated the development model due to extensive factors of economic growth - attracting external human resources (migrants). The authors believe that the development of the country's human capital based on innovative technologies can be an alternative for the growth of the country's economy instead of ‟compensatory migration”.
