This article analyses Russian IT professionals as highly skilled migrants in London. The context of Russian-British migration has determined the emergence and development of four waves: each of them represents a certain set of circumstances for newcomers to move to, to work in, and to live in the global city. The main idea is to show the transformation of a specific population through the four waves of highly skilled migration to London. This study is based on biographical interviews and observations collected in London in 2013–2015. I claim that the dynamics of local professional and language-based communities, on one hand, were determined by these waves of highly skilled Russian migration, and on the other, shaped their practices of capitalization of various resources1. _________________________________ 1 The article is a part of the project, which is fulfilled as a government order work funded from the federal budget of the Russian Federation (“Structurization of social space in the modern city”, No AAAA-A17-117030110145-0).

The article analyzes measures of social protection of population determined by the state programs on the example of a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation: the Khabarovsk territory, Irkutsk and the Amur regions. The main idea is to show how certain categories of citizens receive certain measures of state support in the different constituent entities of the Russian Federation in accordance with the current legislation. It is shown that the constituent entities of the Russian Federation provide for additional measures of social support within the framework of the state programs of social protection adopted by them. Attention is focused on the fact that in the Russian Federation, social support measures are provided on a mandatory basis to all citizens in need of this within the framework of available funding. However, the co-financing of regional programs from the federal budget is not equal to all constituent entities of the Russian Federation (by the example of those analyzed in the article), as a result of which they have unequal opportunities in the implementation of measures of social protection of the population.

Restrictive Measures

The author indicates how and in which ways tendencies of recourse recovery from guilty persons of investigative authorities can be realized. The article reviews practical experience of recourse actions disposition over the last years in the Russian Federation. From the authors point of view, this practical experience is confusing, conflicting, and potentially hazardous. In 2018, the Law Commission of the Government of the Russian Federation endorsed a bill aimed at improving recourse actions against investigative authorities. The legal fundamentals of the bill are stated in regulations of Chapter 18 the RF CPC and again in Articles 1069, 1070, 1080, sub-paragraphs 3 and 3.1 of the Article 1081 of the CCRF. The main idea of the bill is to improve the subjects and practice of recourse recovery from guilty parties of investigative authorities and other law enforcement agencies of those funds that were disbursed to rehabilitees from the Treasury of the Russian Federation account in accordance with Chapter 18 of the RF CPC [1]. The Russian Federation State Duma presented a bill in 2019 that specified the minimum amount of state monetary compensation for unwarranted prosecution of such persons who (in future) would be liable to rehabilitation. There are some innovations of the given bill. The minimum compensation per rehabilitee is 1000 RUB for each day of pretrial investigation and judicial inquiry; 5000 RUB per day for illegal use of such restrictive measures as house imprisonment, restraining order, and written undertaking not to leave the place; and 15 000 RUB per day of illegal stay in pretrial detention facility [2]. If these new measures are accepted, the amounts of recourse against investigative authorities will be cardinally increased. The keys of the above-noted lie in growing statements. The main point of these statements is that the federal budget loses huge sums annually and irrevocably through the realization of institute rehabilitation.

AbstractJapan and the UK appear to have few commonalities in terms of their history of and approach to migration law and policy. However, strong similarities in their contemporary approaches can be detected. Migration sits at the very top of the national political agendas and both have undertaken successive, major policy reforms over the past decade. Both have governments publicly committed to policies to attract ‘highly skilled’ migrants, with a restrictive approach towards ‘unskilled’ migrants. This article draws out the similarities and differences of migration law and policy in Japan and the UK via their respective legislative structures and policy trajectories on highly skilled migration. The article argues that Japan and the UK promote a market-driven model which enables highly skilled migration to be ‘sold’ to publics believed to be hostile to increased migration. Yet, the rapid changes in policy and revising of applicable rules often prevents the successful recruitment of highly skilled migrants to both countries.

ABSTRACTArctic Norway is a region with a shortage of highly skilled professionals and international expertise, in many work sectors. Fast growing cites attract people from other regions and also high skilled migrants. It is a paradox that skilled migrants often fail to get qualified work in the local labour market. To understand this and to capture the complexity of labour market participation, this article draws on interviews with recruitment agencies and highly skilled migrants, attending a recruitment programme initiated by the ‘Confederation of Norwegian Business and Industry in Norway’. This paper draws on recent literature on highly skilled migration and analyses the complex and relational sides of labour market integration for skilled migrants in an urban Arctic town.

The Impact

AbstractThis paper explores the relationship between migration and integration policies in the Netherlands, diaspora policies in India, and the transnational practices of Indian highly skilled migrants to the Netherlands. We employ anthropological transnational migration theories (e.g., Ong 1999; Levitt and Jaworsky 2007) to frame the dynamic interaction between a sending and a receiving country on the lives of migrants. This paper makes a unique contribution to migration literature by exploring the policies of both sending and receiving country in relation to ethnographic data on migrants. The international battle for brains has motivated states like the Netherlands and India to design flexible migration and citizenship policies for socially and economically desirable migrants. Flexible citizenship policies in the Netherlands are primarily concerned with individual and corporate rights and privileges, whereas Indian diaspora policies have been established around the premise of national identity.

The author touched upon topical issues of inter-budget alignment, budget provision of regions with financial resources, focusing on factors that directly affect the stability of the budget system, as well as highlighting problems in the budget sphere that require urgent attention from the authorities. It is concluded that the level of interregional differentiation continues to increase, and the modern mechanism of budget equalization requires urgent amendments and adjustments. It is emphasized that the main goals of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation related to the transition to an innovative type of development, changes in the structure of the national economy, set out in strategic documents and messages of the President of the Russian Federation and declared since 2009, are not being implemented, and the effectiveness of state economic policy and Federal budget expenditures for its implementation remains low. This indicates the need to review the current system.

The article analyzes threats to regional economic security caused by a high degree of centralization of revenues at the Federation level with decentralization of expenditure obligations. The influence of the global economy on the formation of the revenues of the federal budget and the budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation is determined. On the basis of the system approach, proposals have been developed to establish targets for the formation of interbudgetary relations from the point of ensuring regional economic security.

In a globalised world with an increasing division of labour, the competition for highly skilled individuals—regardless of their origin—is growing, as is the value of such individuals for national economies. Yet the majority of studies analysing the economic integration of immigrants shows that those who are highly skilled also have substantial hurdles to overcome: their employment rates and salaries are lower and they face a higher education-to-occupation mismatch compared to highly skilled natives. This paper contributes to the paucity of studies on the employment patterns of highly skilled immigrants to Sweden by providing an overview of the socio-demographic characteristics, labour-market participation and occupational mobility of highly educated migrants in Sweden. Based on a statistical analysis of register data, we compare their employment rates, salaries and occupational skill level and mobility to those of immigrants with lower education and with natives. The descriptive analysis of the data shows that, while highly skilled immigrants perform better than those with a lower educational level, they never catch up with their native counterparts. Our regression analyses confirm these patterns for highly skilled migrants. Furthermore, we find that reasons for migration matter for highly skilled migrants’ employment outcomes, with labour migrants having better employment rates, income and qualification-matched employment than family reunion migrants and refugees.
