Current migration processes in the Far East (on the example of Jewish Autonomous Oblast)

Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the dynamics of migration, as well as to conduct an analysis of permanent and labour migration in the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR) in the period from 1993 to 2008. It is shown that in the period from 1993 to 2002the main reason to the dynamics of migration were changes in terms of international migration, and from 2003 to present - changes in rates of interregional migration. Hiring foreign workers in the Jewish Autonomous Region is characterized by a high proportion of migrants from China. The average estimate of integrated safety performance indicators of the migration in the JAR showed that the migration situation in the region is facing a crisis because of the well-established interregional migration loss. Enhancements of regional security can stabilize and increase the number of immigrants inside it.
