Kuwait has long been one of the most demographically self-conscious countries in the world. Since 1965, Kuwaitis have been a minority in their own country, outnumbered by migrants who had come there to find work and flee adversities elsewhere in the region. Between 1957 and 1985, Kuwait conducted a census at least once every five years. Even before its independence in 1961, Kuwait had constructed, and has since reworked, a complex set of policies and regulations for the control and management of migration, albeit with varying and often limited degrees of success.

Political Principles

This article analyzes the most important strategic planning documents in the field of migration policy of the Russian Federation — the Federal Migration Program (1994), the Concept for the Regulation of Migration Processes (2003), the Concept of Migration Policy for the period 2012–2025 (2012), Concept of Migration Policy for 2019–2025 (2019). Normative legal documents in the field of migration were selected as the object of research, and the principles of migration policy proclaimed by them were selected as the object of research. The aim of the study is to classify these principles and establish continuity between strategic planning documents in the field of migration. Research objectives: consider strategic planning documents; analyze the principles of migration policy proclaimed by them; classify the selected principles of migration policy into groups. As a result of the work carried out, universal principles (contained in all analyzed strategic planning documents) and particular principles (contained in only one or several strategic planning documents) were determined. Based on the analysis of these principles, both universal and particular, it is concluded that the proclaimed priorities of the policy in the field of migration ensure the competitiveness of Russia as a recipient country of migration in the world arena.

With the process of industry productions, the polar region which is the last maiden land for human being on the earth is confronted to the environment pollution increasingly. In accordance with the development of green shipbuilding technologies in the world, the ballast system of a science icebreaker should be researched and designed particularly because the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed international legislation, the International Convention for the Control and Management of ships’ ballast water and sediments, to regulate discharges of ballast water and reduce the risk of introducing non-native species from ships’ ballast water. Not only the scientific research icebreaker is ensured to work normally in the polar region, but also the weak ocean environment is protected.

This chapter provides a historical comparative analysis of U.S. migration policy and examines why foreign migrant labor is growing at a rapid pace. In 1993, the Washington Consensus, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank—multilateral financial institutions controlled by corporations in North America and Western Europe—established a new policy that would impose harsh penalties on any country that closed its borders to foreign trade, thereby setting the stage for monetary crises and high unemployment. That labor has no control over these organizations more than suggests the dire predicament that workers and unions confront today.

The new-type structure of "three towers of two-span" suspension bridge with the main span of 2×1080m is put to use in Taizhou Bridge. The foundation of Middle Tower adopts an extra-large underwater caisson structure with the three dimension size about 58m×44m×76m, which has been so far the deepest underwater caisson in the world. The caisson is divided into two sections, that is, Steel Caisson on the bottom and Concrete Caisson on the top. The underwater positioning, landing of Steel Caisson and the height addition construction of Concrete Caisson are of great construction difficulties and thus brought high safety risk. In this paper, Taking Taizhou Bridge as background, the safety control technology and management of underwater caisson construction is presented, which can play a good reference for similar projects.

The social significance of scientific studies of ethnic communities is conditioned by the increase of diasporas becoming a common stationary phenomenon in most countries of the world. The scientific discourse of the problem is aimed at analyzing the integral and conflict-causing aspects of the activities of modern diasporas, which will be determined by the specificity of the historical, socio-economic situation, region of residence, features of interethnic policy, etc. The goal of the article was to analyze evaluations of representatives of diasporas in six regions of the Russian borderland about success of adaptation and integration of migrants in the host community. The set of indicators included attitudes towards migrant children in educational institutions, opinions about the restriction or stimulation of migration in the regions, attitudes towards illegal migrants, the problem of national enclaves. The presented results are based on a systems approach, the theory of interdependence in the world development, the essence of which is the formation of the transnational structure of the world community. Conclusions about the adaptive and integration potential of regional diasporas are made, differential assessments on a number of socially significant issues thatdetermine the scientific field of the phenomenon of transit migration in the border areas of the Russian Federation under study are presented. The scientific novelty of the proposed results consists in the study of the role of ethnic communities, in comparison with the local population of the recipient countries, which can be used in forecasting the effectiveness of integration processes and providing the scientific basis for regulating the risk of interethnic conflicts. The practical significance consists in the possibility of optimizing the activities of diasporas for effective social management in the field of migration policy.

The Impact

The article is devoted to the assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the tendencies of external labor migration from Ukraine. The relevance of the work is due to the limited analytical research on population migration during the pandemic. Until the beginning of 2020, changes in the formation of external labor migration flows occurred mainly under the infl uence of the internal situation in the country and the transformation of Ukraine’s political relations with certain foreign countries, but under COVID-19, the trends of external labor migration from Ukraine have changed radically for reasons independent of the socio-economic situation in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to assess the changes in the scale of labor migration due to COVID-19 and to determine the prospects for external labor migration of Ukrainians. Relevant analytical developments became the basis for the formation of recommendations for adjusting the migration policy of Ukraine in the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. The novelty of the study is to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the parameters of external labor migration from Ukraine and to assess probable perspective future transformations of migration trends. Abstract-logical and systema tic approaches, the method of expert assessments are used in the study. The analysis of the migration situation in Ukraine in recent years is carried out, the latest changes in the directions and scales of external labor migration are identifi ed. The tendencies of international population movement aft er the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic are analyzed. Prospects for external migration of the population of Ukraine are determined. The future of this process will depend on the pace of economic recovery in Europe and the world at large and the local demand for labor from other countries. It is probable that the employment structure of Ukrainian labor migrants will change by type of activity: migrants who were not employed in agriculture before the pandemic will not resume work so soon, and those who remained in the recipient countries will try to fi nd employment in agriculture and related activities. The geography of working trips will also change, and a new reorientation of some migrants is probable — from Eastern Europe to Western Europe, especially Germany and the United Kingdom, which are far ahead of traditional Ukrainian employment countries (Poland, the Czech Republic and even Italy) in terms of wages. A key element of the policy of keeping some migrants in Ukraine is a radical non-declarative change in the state’s attitude to small and medium-sized businesses. It is necessary to involve representatives of small and medium business to public policy, including policy of withdrawal from quarantine, business support. Eff ective business support programs should also be implemented, in particular following the example of EU countries. For those migrants who, even under the best conditions, are not interested in starting a business in Ukraine, a strategy is needed to ensure that, on the one hand, these people are not lost to Ukraine, and on the other hand, to get the most out of working with the diaspora. This will help both to improve the situation in the economy and to improve the image and strengthen Ukraine’s infl uence in the world.
