Миграционная и демографическая политика в системе устойчивого развития: межстрановые сравнения / Migration and demographic policies in the system of sustainable development: country comparisons
Аннотация
Migration is an incredibly complex phenomenon that necessitates a comprehensive evaluation encompassing multiple dimensions. Singular data or policy-driven approaches risk oversimplifying its multifaceted nature, potentially leading to misleading perceptions. Factors such as cultural contexts, scale, temporal dynamics, and diverse migration mechanisms—including illegal migration—can significantly influence data reliability, often yielding contradictory outcomes in demographic assessments. This study delves into the sustainability aspects of migration, examining its diverse economic impacts, including labour dynamics, economic development, trade, and technological influence. It also explores its implications for social institutions such as cultural dynamics, legal frameworks, and education, as well as ecological considerations such as anthropological impacts and responses to climate change. Furthermore, it addresses related phenomena such as the instrumentalization of migration, mortality rates during migration, and associated criminal activities.
Considering other demographic policies alongside migration, such as family planning, urban development, and women's education, underscores the need for nuanced adaptation strategies in the Russian context. Despite potential benefits, Russia currently faces challenges related to ethnocultural shifts and societal integration issues, exacerbated by existing discrimination and cultural barriers as noted in MIPEX assessments. Effective integration strategies, bolstered by machine learning-based data tools, could mitigate these challenges and enhance social stability.
Crime and mortality rates among migrants have gained public attention, highlighting vulnerabilities at border crossings. Establishing secure migration routes is crucial to safeguarding migrants and mitigating associated risks. Climate change presents both opportunities and challenges, necessitating urban planning adjustments to enhance resilience against natural disasters and accommodate climate-induced migration flows.
While migration could augment the labour force, potentially impacting local wages, Russia's current low unemployment rates and sector-specific labour demands suggest a controlled immigration approach could yield economic benefits, albeit requiring careful navigation of social and political implications.
In conclusion, this study advocates for a comprehensive approach to migration policy that integrates sustainability principles, addresses social and economic complexities, and adopts proactive measures to enhance integration and mitigate risks associated with demographic changes and climate impacts.
